Do you know about the holocaust? In the book, Night, by Ellie Weisel there were many terrible things that happened. Among these terrible things were the loss of many innocent people, Jews were separated from their family and undiagnosed PTSD from the few survivors. In the story many people were separated and some put into gas chambers and suffocated. They were mostly transported in cattle cars that were extremely crowded. The Natzi’s had no empathy for any jews no matter if they were children or elderly. With that being said, the holocaust was very gruesome physically, also mentally and it was extremely detrimental to our history and is still discussed today. The holocaust was physically gruesome in ways such as, Jews being sent to camps where most of the time they were treated more like cattle. At these camps they were terribly fed and most of the time were left starving. This can be seen in the book when Ellie Weisel writes “We went to fetch the evening meal: bread and margarine” (Weisel 44). At these camps they were constantly being tortured and experimented on. Those are the reasons that the holocaust was physically gruesome. …show more content…

In the book, Ellie Weisel discussed how the Jews lost their identity, which was the only thing making them human. Being called a mix of words and numbers takes a toll on your mental health, mainly to the Jews.

But, really, that’s a pretty sensitive subject, the Holocaust, so few people would’ve actually said that; however, that point is not rendered moot just because of sensitive subjects that shouldn’t be referenced so lightly. During the Holocaust, the mass genocide of mostly Jewish people and the disabled, approximately a million and a half perished at the hands of the infamous Nazis, a political party of apathetic and sadistic individuals, in grueling, atrocious ways. The Nazis repurposed the words, “concentration,” and, “camp,” to mean, “the-place-where-people-were-either-forced-to-labor-in-horrendous-conditions-or-just-killed.” It’s not hard to lose yourself in those circumstances as a child could lose their toys by laying them down somewhere and
