In this essay I will be telling you why Hurricane Harvey, 9/11 and The Holocaust gave me hope for the furtue. Humans have shown that by working together they can overcome many situations by counting on one another and not be selfish if one is in need.

Through all of the fundraising, thirty-seven million dollars was raised for the victims of the hurricane, which shows that many people are not selfish. And last but not least, people of northern Texas were able to help and show that they are not selfish by taking in whole families during the recovery of Hurricane Harvey. …show more content…

People showed how well they can work in bad times by helping clean up the disaster of the twin towers. They showed how they can count on one another by setting up camps for the injured and counting on other states around us. They also show how not to be selfish by risking their lives trying to save people stuck in the rubble of the twin towers. My third example is the Holocaust. During the Holocaust people worked to gather to smuggle children out of concentration camps. They counted on one another by relying on all non-Jews to find refuge as well as food and falsified documents to get away from the Nazis. They were able to show that they were not selfish is by sharing everything they had, weather it was food or just some

So, as the Jews were rounded up and dragged out of their homes during the start of World War II, they were played by deception that the men were being taken to fight in the war, while women and children would be ‘taken care of’.

1180 Words | 5 Pages

Food, water, and shelter are often the bare necessities to survive, but there is another factor often overlooked: hope. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, he details the atrocities he faced while living inside the Auschwitz concentration camp accompanied by his father, and how he survived with the concept of hope.

The Nazis started with propaganda destroying all opposing parties and voices, “Inasmuch as the first task of the National Socialists was to destroy simultaneously all trade unions as well as all liberal democratic institutions, it was necessary to make the people believe that these were devilish inventions, cleverly designed by malicious persons to ruin the German people” (Yorman 149). The Nazis needed to instill fear into the people without the people knowing they were afraid. The Nazis made the people afraid of all other parties and voices to the point they destroyed them. Yorman stated, “With people convinced that communism had been forced on them by a ‘degenerate’ and ‘malicious’ cabal of ‘alien enemies’ to create their misery, they could then rally all good Germans around the Fuehrer, who promised to protect his people by waging relentless war on these ‘enemies of Germany’”
