The article, "combating" shows that the students need to be aware that the event did in fact happen. The article "Genocide" shows students what happens when hate against one group or culture becomes too much. Elie Wiesel's Night shows students an eyewitness account of how much violence, brutality, and abuse to the prisoners had to go through in the Holocaust. Though some people are against the subject of the Holocaust because it is too graphic or mature for the students, it is important that students learn from a trusted adult instead of letting other students try to teach it to themselves. The students should learn about the subject of the Holocaust in school because it teaches the importance of equality, about the events occurrence, and teaching about the dangers of discrimination and abuse.

The Holocaust was a time of great suffering and hopelessness for Jewish people. About two thirds of the entire Jewish population was brutally killed. One third of all Jews persevered and survived the appalling events happening in and out of the concentration camps. One boy, out of that one third that survived and pushed through was Elie Wiesel. Elie Wiesel, the holocaust survivor, displays stamina in his memoir physically, mentally, and spiritually.

When Irene Safran was only twenty-one years old, her carefree life ended in the face of the Holocaust. Born to two Jewish parents as one of ten children-- four girls and six boys in all-- in Munkachevo, Czechoslovakia around the year 1923, her world changed in early April 1944 when she and her family were transferred to a Jewish ghetto. For the next year, Irene's life was a series of deaths, losses, and humiliations no human should ever have to suffer, culminating, years later, with a triumphant ending. Her story is proof that the human spirit can triumph over all manner of adversity and evil.

Elie Wiesel was born on September 30, 1928 in the small town of Sighet Romania. (Roth page 1) He was 3rd born and the only son to Sholmo and Sarah Wiesel. (Roth page 1) In Elie’s hometown of Sighet about 40% of the population was Jewish.

On a cold fall morning, hundreds of Jewish families woke up to be told that they were to come with the Nazis and that they would be leaving their homes. No explanation, no clue as to where they are going to end up, they bagged up their necessities. The mothers and fathers carried bags upon bags of things that they believed that they were going to get to keep. The children cried, the mothers trembled in fear, while the fathers tried to hold their families together. Out on the cold streets they went, to wait. The Nazis were mean, strict, and rude. Telling the not to move or talk, having them stand never giving them a break. Basically treating them like a dog they were trying to teach a new trick. They taunted and made fun of them and laughed at their looks.

New statistics shows that the Nazi Holocaust may have kill as many as 20 millions lives. To this day, the Holocaust is thought to have absorbed between five and six million Jews, with an estimated of five million other people also murdered by the Nazi. Amazingly most of the Jews who were in the concentration camps survived and are still alive. Each Holocaust survivor has their own rare and personal story about their experience during those times, and many people are willing to hear these survivor's story and many are amazed by it. This is another reason why the Holocaust will remain a monumental as a historic

To have survived something where your death was guaranteed is very rare. In fact, according to research, and an estimate of around 1/3 of Jews alive at that time in Europe were murdered during the Holocaust. Between 1933 and 1945, 11 million people were murdered in the Holocaust, of these six million were Jews and of this, 1.1 million were children. Of the nine million Jews who lived in Europe before the Holocaust, an estimated 2/3 were murdered. Despite all these odds and statistics, Vladek Spiegelman managed to survive, and then shares his story with his son, so he could share their story with the world. Another reason that Vladek Spiegelman is a good subject to write a biography of is, his personality. He seems to have two sides to him, Vladek Spiegelman before war and Vladek Spiegelman post — war. We get to see the impact and affect the Holocaust had on it’s victims, with our own eyes. Moreover, Vladek Spiegelman is an inspiration and a reminder of the potential dark side of human nature. Thus, writing a biography of Mr. Spiegelman is informative, moving and above all, inspirational.

Holocaust: Survivors The Holocaust was a very tragic and memorable experience for Jewish people and others around them. However, between 1945 and 1952 more than 80,000 survivors from the Holocaust managed to immigrate into the United States (Life After The Holocaust, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). A few people include Thomas Buergenthal and Blanka Rothschild. These people were to live each one of their lives successfully even after experiencing the torture of the Holocaust which was like experiencing the pain of death for eternity.

What is the first word that comes to your mind when you hear the word Holocaust? Some of the words you generally hear are genocide, devastating, sad, and evil, just to name a few. How often do you hear people describe or talk about the acts of compassion and good that came from the Holocaust? Not very often. It is a crazy concept to think that something good could come from the Holocaust where “five to six million Jews were systematically murdered by the Nazi regime, its allies, and its surrogates” (Jones 223). However, there were still people that stood up for what they believed in and did whatever they could to make a difference, even if it meant death for them. There are many different people who are heroes of the Holocaust such as Oskar Schindler, Raoul Wallenberg, and Giovanni Palatucci. This paper will focus on a hero that was not as well known. Her name is Irena Sendler. Sendler’s constant courage every single day changed the fate of at least 2,500 Jewish children during the Holocaust. Throughout this paper you will learn a little bit more about Sendler, her background, what she did during the Holocaust, the four girls that first brought attention to Sendler here in the United States, and how she is remembered today.
