Elie Wiesel, holocaust survivor and author of the memoir “Night”, tells us of his unimaginable, concentration camp experience during WWII in Auschwitz, Germany. As one of the minority of the Jewish holocaust survivors, he shares his appalling experience with us and the world, which should never be forgotten. In the spring of 1944, Elie Wiesel was an 15 year old boy, living in his hometown of Sighet, in Hungaryan Transilvania.

Statistically, only 54% of the world has heard about the Holocaust. Believe it or not, some people don't know it exists or they deny it happened. Regarding these statistics, the Holocaust is still a very emotional event in history to many. Ever since the Holocaust, people have had multiple different viewpoints on the topic, including writers. One author that shares my viewpoint on the Holocaust is an author by the name of David Oliver Relin.
Nicholas Winton “The Holocaust” is often referred to the death of jews, and other victims of Naxi Germany are often included. Approximately, 11 million people were killed in the unheroic event; the holocaust. About two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population were killed, and about one quarter were under the age of fifteen. In total, 6 million of these deaths were Jewish. Up to 270,000 were Romans/Sintis (Gypsies).
We are going to discuss the article, “At the Holocaust Museum,” by David Oliver Relin. This document is about the museum in Washington, DC that informs of the horrors Hitler and his Nazi party did to the Jews during World War II, killing more than 6 million and taking away their citizenship and rights. This fact about the Holocaust portrays objectivity through measurable data. A majority of informal articles are primarily objective over subjective; informing the reader and giving the reader facts and data than displaying or providing a point of view or emotions. Subjectivity is when the text or segments of the text are being based on or influenced by someone's personal feelings, tastes, or opinions; the author’s, characters, or other people’s.
While he was there he went to the commander of the camp and asked if he needed an errand boy,to which the commander agreed. He then spent his time doing things for him like deliver messages but also,using a sign they came up with,notified the other prisoners whenever the commander was coming so that they could make sure to be working extra hard because if a prisoner was caught working slowly,he was beaten to near death. “But what else could we do but hope? That after all is human nature.” “That hope never left us, and it sustained us in the years to come, despite the fact that we had no good reason to expect our situation to improve.”
Rudolf Vrba was born Topolcany, Czechoslovakia in on September 11, 1924 and lived a normal life until his whole world was turned upside down by the Holocaust.

WWII was proven to be a crisis that ended in both victory, and death. From the accounts of a soldier in the book “ The man who broke into Auschwitz”, as a soldier he suffered at the hands of war , but nothing could prepare him for what he broke into. What this book circles around is the events of a soldier stumbling into a concentration camp where he witnessed jews, and others being held captive in a camp, which would be discovered as an ongoing continuation since the near beginning of the war. This was proven tragedy that brought into question of what made America, and their allies miss this, was it a coincidence or something turned of a blind eye. Even though America was fighting for the greater welfare and prosperity of Americans, and their

The goddess Athena, of war and wisdom, supports the Argives in the Trojan war after being spurned
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
