Eleven million lives were massacred in one of the world’s darkest moments attempting to create a perfect race. In 1942 Germany was losing World War II, Adolf Hitler 's final solution was to target the blame towards Europe 's Jewish population, gypsies, and homosexuals. Together Hitler and the Nazi regime gradually deprived the Jews, gypsies and homosexuals from their rights. Many people were brought to labor camps by train. The conditions in camps were inhumane.
The Holocaust occurred when Hitler came to power, caused by his power of words; as Death states: “The Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.” (Zusak 445). Hitler manipulated the Germans to think that other people, such as Jews, are not the ideal human race and they need to abolish them. The Germans were oblivious to what Hitler was trying to accomplish because they were blinded by his wise and knowledgeable choice of words.
Throughout the 1930s, countries who were upset over the outcome of World War I started to take aggression toward the other countries who had oppressed them through the Treaty Of Versailles. When Germany was defeated they became embarrassed and wanted to prove their superiority to other countries. However, Germany was in severe debt from World War I. As they struggled through financial ruin, many citizens were frustrated with the situation they faced and were extremely unhappy. This allowed the Nazi party and Hitler to rise to political power in Germany. Hitler was determined to restore glory to Germany and enact revenge on the countries that embarrassed them.
The Nazi regime killed about six million jews during the holocaust. During the 1940s German authorities targeted Jew and many other people, they would be put in death camps and forced to do hard labored. The atrocities the Jewish people had to face was terrifying. Going day after day not knowing if you will be the one selected to die;having your love ones die and suffer. Doing hard labor and very little food.
Hitler wanted to create a perfect race of people and to create it, he killed off those that were not suited for his perfect world. In this group were homosexuals, people with disabilities, and Jewish people. They were taken to camps where they dropped like flies. One of the many horrors of the death camps were the crematoriums, where people were burned alive. Small children and babies were thrown into pits of fire because they could not work.
Jews During The Holocaust During the Holocaust, Adolph Hitler put six death camps into operation; this was the reason for the 11 deaths of 11 million Jews and minorities in 1933. In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, readers follow Elie and his family as they are taken from their home and put into the death camp of Auschwitz. According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, the prisoners in the death camp were deprived of their basic needs while they were there. Prisoners were at risk of death all the time.
"Concentration camps, that's what you call, uh, a camp what actually is annihilation...they annihilate people, actually. " This quote by Abraham Lewent sums up the story of the Holocaust and what an egregious time it was. The genocide of over six million people during World War II was the Holocaust. It all started with a man named Adolf Hitler and his rise to power and the German people who were desperate to believe anything they were told.
The Holocaust was created by Adolf Hitler in 1933 ending in 1945. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician who was the leader of the Nazi party, chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and the Führer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. The word Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning “sacrifice by fire.” The term “concentration camp” is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933-1945, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz. From the earliest years of the Nazi regime, German authorities persecuted homosexuals and others whose behavior did not match prescribed social norms.
The holocaust would kill 6 million people in death camps because they weren’t part of Adolf Hitler’s “Master Race”; amazingly people, like Iren Safran, were able to stay alive in the camps long enough to be liberated. In 1933, Adolf Hitler came into power of Germany, and with him began the Nazi regime. The Nazis had but one goal, to wipe out the Jews of the world. Many different peoples that Hitler did not see as part of his “Master Race” were exiled to camps where they were killed in a barbaric fashion. By the end of the holocaust, Hitler and the Nazis would have killed millions of people.
Millions and millions of Jewish people were murdered because of Adolf Hitler, the dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1944. This event was called the Holocaust. During this event, many Jews from Germany and other countries nearby were taken to concentration camps. At these camps, Jews were murdered, starved, and tortured. Adolf Hitler was the reason for this because of his hatred toward Jews.
Concentration camps were created to dehumanize and to demoralize the Jews before they could destroy the Germans. Dehumanization occurred by surrounding them with death, disease, and unhygienic conditions. They also dehumanized them by the constant threat of starvation, and forcing them to eat like dogs. The Germans demoralized them by the strict routine that if not followed, led to death. This led to many people with the choice of work or die.
The Dehumanization of Jews in Death Camps The Holocaust was the systematic, agonizing tyranny and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi force and its confederates. They came to power in January of 1933 and believed that Germans were “racially superior”. Their motive was to cleanse the community and accomplish the creation of the “master race”.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
From the beginning, nine million Jews, 200,000 Gypsies, at least 200,000 mentally and physically disabled individuals, gays, as well as Soviet Prisoners of War (“Documenting Numbers of Victims of the Holocaust and Nazi Persecution”). Hitler pinned many of Germany’s problems on these minorities and promoted white supremacy. Beginning in 1945, Hitler and his collaborators began killing and with all the tyranny that had spread across Europe, Germans and other collaborators accused and murdered millions of dissimilar. The group of men killed almost two-thirds of European Jews being part of The Holocaust. Not all were shot, but many starved, suffered from diseases, neglect, and malnourishment (“Documenting Numbers of Victims of the Holocaust and Nazi Persecution”).
