Recommended: Essays on the Holocaust history

We study and learn about the Holocaust for multiple reasons. One is that it is apart of world history. Another reason is that if we study about it is that it is less likely to happen again. Also because it was during World War II, and because it was caused by probably one of the most crazy and worst person to live.

This is apart of world history, so of course we will study about it. It happened during World War II, by the Nazi Regime in Germany. It was the killing of 12 million undesirables, as they were called.

The Holocaust started with the exclusion of Jews from normal society. These were called the Nuremburg laws. These were put into action whenever Hitler was the leader of Germany, in 1935. This is the beginning of the dehumanization of Jews, and the rest of the undesirables, which led to the Holocaust.

Another reason why we study the Holocaust is to make sure that something like this never happens again. We can do this by knowing what it is, and possibly stopping it before it gets to be like what happened before. Also, we can be more aware of this, which allows us to identi...

    The Night of Broken Glass, or the Krystal Naught, is a prime example of how dire the situation grew for Jews as their homes, businesses, and churches were destroyed. The true genocide, or race killing, began when Jews were collected up and sent to concentration or work camps. It was in these camps that they would be tortured, murdered, or worked like slaves. As World War 2 neared its end, Hitler put into act what he called the Final Solution, a last ditch effort to eliminate Judism in Europe, in which he killed over six million of them.

  • A Glimpse at the Holocaust

    994 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holocaust began in 1933 when the Nazis instigated their first action against the Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. The Nuremberg Laws went into place on September 15, 1935 which began to exclude the Jews from public life. These laws went to the extent of stripping German Jews of the citizenship and then implemented a prohibition of marriage between the Jewish and the Germans. These laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Over the next several years, even more laws would be introduced. Jews would be excluded from parks, fired from civil service jobs, required to register all property and restricted Jewish doctors from practicing medicine on any person other than Jewish patients.

    The Holocaust started in 1939. In that time period the Germans and the Allied Forces were in war. When they were in war the Germans took all Jews (except the ones in hiding) to multiple concentration camps and death camps. When they were sent to concentration camps they were ordered to take off all their jewelry, gold teeth and clothes. They were provided with stripped pajamas with numbers on them so they can be recognized by their number and not by their names. They were also tattooed on their left forearm with the same number that was on their stripped pajamas. Everybody’s head had to get shaved BALD.

  • Different Perspectives of The Jewish Holocaust

    1631 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust tends to be a bitter memory and an unpleasant subject to discuss. Although this event took place many years ago, repercussions are still present in the twenty first century. Especially in Germany, the Holocaust not only influences patriotism, but it also influences education and immigration policies. In contrast to other countries where nationalism is common, Germany has been forced to lessen the sense of nationalism in order to dispose false beliefs some individuals have of German racism. By allowing people from other countries to become German citizens, Germany avoids transmitting the sense of being a better and a cleaner race. A further sector influenced by the Holocaust is the education system. Approaches to teach about this event are difficult since the Holocaust is a sensitive issue and continues having vital importance in numerous families. Although the Holocaust continues conveying negative influences, the Holocaust also led to positive medical and technological improvements. In fact, numerous improvements are unknowingly implemented in societies today. Therefore, the Holocaust is one of the most horrific and influencing events in history whose repercussions are still felt in Germany today. However, in spite of the horrific occurrences, the associated medical findings and technological improvements make it intricate to look at the Holocaust as plainly evil. Thus, societies should view the Holocaust with a broader perspective.

  • Germany Responsible For Ww2

    It all started with the poor social and economic status of Germany in the 1920’s. Most of the country couldn’t even afford simple things like food and water. This was due to the Treaty of Versailles from World War 1 were it stated 4 conditions. These conditions were that Germany must have a small army, they must pay $6.6 billion for retribution from World War 1, a lot of their land was taken away and they had to accept the blame for World War 1. This made the people of Germany very angry and they thought that it was too harsh. In January 1933 Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. He swore to rip up the treaty and secretly began to build up Germany’s army. Whilst Hitler was Chancellor he segregated the Jewish population from the rest of society, they were seen as a ‘deformity on the body politic’ and were feared by the German middle class, this was due to Hilter’s use of propaganda. The final main event before the holocaust started, was The Night of Broken Glass or Kristallnacht this occurred on the 9th and 10th of November when the Nazi Party attacked the Jews in Germany, their homes and buildings. 30,000 Jews were arrested, 91 killed, 500 shops looted and 1000 synagogues

  • The Holocaust: The Most Significant Cause Of The Holocaust

    1994 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust, the mass killing of the Jewish people in Europe, is the largest genocide in history to this date. Over the course of the Holocaust nearly six million Jewish people were killed by the Nazi Party and Germany led by Adolf Hitler. There are multiple contributing factors to the Holocaust that made it so large in scope. Historians argue which of these factors were most significant. The most significant contributing factor is the source of the Holocaust, the reason it occurred. This source is Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jewish people. In comparison to the choices of the Allies to not accept Jewish refugees and to not take direct military action to end the Holocaust, the most significant contributing factor of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler was able to easily rise to power with the support of the German people and rule Germany.

  • The Holocaust And The Holocaust

    So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know of Adolf Hitler's madness or know about a large part of World War II? I believe it is to know how to recognize and stop something like the Holocaust from ever happening again. It is like Edmund Burke said, "All tyrany needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." The Holocaust gained it's foodhold because we didn't know what was happening so we remained silent. A lot of the suffering and pain could've been prevented if we had simply realized what was going on. Another one of Edmund's quotes is that, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." That is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past.
