The holocaust was one of the worst events in the history of mankind. Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party killed over 6 million innocent Jews in a dozen years. There was a tribute museum open for all the Jews that lost their lives in the holocaust. In the text the author uses both objectivity and subjectivity equally to get his point across. The objectivity is used to give the reader factual evidence on the topic. The subjectivity is used for the reader to understand others feelings and thoughts on the subject. Other articles could have used only objectivity to get the point across.That would only present the reader with facts and no other emotions or feelings. In the text, “At the Holocaust Museum” by David Oliver Relin, used an equal amount of subjectivity and objectivity to inform readers about the holocaust and its tribute museum. …show more content…

One thing that was said was "In 1933, there were more than nine million Jews living in continental Europe. Within a dozen years, two-thirds of them would be dead." This excerpt shows that within 12 years of the holocaust hitler and the nazis managed to kill 6 million jews. Another piece of objectivity used in the article is when they said Jews were “systematically exterminated”. The text uses very vivid words to really give the reader an image for what it was like. The last piece of objectivity was a fact about the Holocaust Museum. “Since it opened its doors in 1993, more than 3.5 million people have come to see the museum's powerful exhibits.” Those were some of the objectivity used in the text that the author used to spread his

From both the author’s preface and chapter one I was able to determine that the desired audience is anyone who has heard about the holocaust and knows the atrocities that occurred. With this in mind Levi hopes to “furnish documentation [ to understand] certain aspects of the human mind. ”(Levi9) His audience could also include young adults with the purpose of helping them understand the severity of it and understand it as a “sinister alarm-signal.” Moving on to rhetorical techniques, Levi’s tone which seemed to be full of emotion helped strengthen the overall purpose of the book.

According to the document 25-3, “The Holocaust: A Journalist Reports on Nazi Massacres of Jews, the massacre of the Jews,” the Holocaust, affected not only Jews, but it also affected the United States.

This book shows how the Holocaust should be taught and not be forgotten, due to it being a prime example of human impureness. Humans learn off trial and error, how the Jewish population was affected, decrease in moral, and the unsettled tension are prime examples of such mistakes.

I believe that, in recalling the Holocaust, the author’s decision to leave out certain elements with the intent to please their immediate audience actually adds to the viewer’s knowledge of the events. Those who documented their experiences many years later included less broad details than those who released theirs immediately afterwards. This is beneficial to the viewers of today and of future generations because it allows us to gain additional, intimate knowledge of these tragic events, which is important in preserving the memory and dignity of the

The Holocaust was an execution of 8 million Europeans, and “ 6 million of the Europeans killed were Jewish women, children, and men that were brutally murdered” (Strahinich 7). It “was a catastrophe in our modern history” (Strahinich 7) now staining our history pages with hundreds of innocent people’s blood, forever lost in the grounds of the Holocaust. It took “place in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, and Czechoslovakia” (Altman 9) is some of the places where hundreds died. Thanks to “Adolf Hitler” (Strahinich 8) and “the Nazis government” (Strahinich 10), they “plunged most of Europe” (Allen 7) into turmoil, taking lives that did not need to go.

Revisiting a Tragedy “This was supposed to be a fun day.” “This is a waste of my time.” “ I can't wait till it’s over.” These were just a few of the thoughts that raced through my mind as I approached the sandstone building that is the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. It was the summer of my senior year, and my only motivation for entering this sure-to-be boring building was the promise that air conditioning would lend me refuge from the muggy heat.
