Children Of The Holocaust

Many people suffered during WWII, not just the targeted people. Many people were also killed for nothing and they couldn’t do anything to stop the catastrophe for they could be punished greatly. A few people like Anne Frank, Liesel, and the boys Rudi, Karl. and Helmuth were part of this war and have differences and similarities with their experiences during the time of the war.

The implications of the Holocaust and the extent to which perceptions of the event have shaped Jewish views of identity are among the most crucial in today’s society. Literature revealed that although children of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators did not experience events directly, they might suffer in some form. Jewish descendants experience symptoms of trauma and bear the burden of replacing the dead. According to clinical experience and empirical research, this clinical population seems to have specific disturbances focused on difficulties in coping with stress and a high vulnerability to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This literature review will focus first on how trauma is transmitted and will then discuss the existence of any indicators of psychopathology in the offspring of Holocaust survivors.

The Holocaust was a tragic event that occurred during World War II. This was when Hitler took power over Germany. Those who Hitler saw as inferior, or those whom he sought not perfect, were used as Germany’s slaves. He made them work very hard, and gave them very little. These people barely got food. They were all to die after they were found to have no use. Many people were taken away from their family. Many people didn’t have any living family after the Holocaust. They were labeled displaced when they weren’t found by family members. These people came in massive populations that were dealt with by organizations like the UNRRA. Palestine was used as an escape route for Jews. The UNRRA helped these millions of Jews either

There was thousands of bodies stacked in rows upon rows, this was hard for the

By the time the Holocaust was over, there were six million Jews murdered. That includes 1,500,000 children. While Jews were viewed as the main enemy, many other non-Jewish people were killed also. Anyone who was ¨considered racially, biologically, or socially unfit¨ was killed they were Jewish or German. “In the course of this state sponsored tyranny, the Nazis left countless lives shattered and millions dead.”(United States

Kindertransport was the program created during the Holocaust with a reason, but its children faced various outcomes. The growing rate of Jewish refugees became an urgent matter after the damage done on Kristallnacht, which left many homeless, without families, and without significant structures and buildings. The solution was compromised to allow children under the age of 17 into the Great Britain, depending on their registration and intense need to leave Germany. However, once in the United Kingdoms, the children faced many new situations, varying from their age and gender. New homes and safe shelters from the war were presented to some children. Other children struggled to adjust to new lifestyles or to survive on their own after abandonment

The ghettos were streets where Jewish people lived. The three main ghettos were Lodz, Warsaw, and Theresienstadt. It had horrible living conditions. They were non-sanitary, bad electricity, extremely crowded, and there was not enough food. Contagious diseases spread rapidly due to all of these bad conditions. Everyday children became orphaned, and many had to take care of younger

The Holocaust will be a moment in history that will never be forgotten due to the many lives that were lost. Jewish people were tortured not being fed enough food, being forced to work under tough conditions, being beaten if even the slightest inconvenience to the Germans. There was overcrowding in the bunks, more than one family would be kept there, and many Jews were being tested on like rats by Nazi doctors.

Brainwashed, heartless Nazis. Many believe these were the kind of men who were involved in the Holocaust, which makes it much easier to dismiss them and believe we could never become like them. However, this was not truly the case for many of those who participated in the Holocaust. These men were not brainwashed, and some were not even Nazis— they were simply ordinary men.

Life in the ghetto was subjected to death. Many took their own lives, and others tried to escape.

In Germany, Jews were forced into deadly and inhumane concentration camps by the Germans. They’ve been dehumanized through the torture of hard labor and medical experiments, which is very cruel since no one’s right to life should’ve been taken from them. It’s interesting how the Germans got away with forcing the Jews and other racial groups to work long hours in factories with no breaks for food or water, leading to starvation and lack of dehydration. People shouldn’t be treated as non-humans because they had the right not to before it was taken away from them, and the effort that the Germans put to torture the Jews is really horrific but fascinating at the same time. As far as forced labor, people didn’t have a choice about how they lived

When the war ended in 1945, millions of Jews had perished. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime had almost entirely wiped out a single race of people in what would become known as the Holocaust. However, the Jews were not the only people who had been stripped of their dignity and killed. There were other groups who the Nazi’s persecuted against. The Roma, homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Political Prisoners were all systematically gathered up and killed. When the Holocaust gets mentioned, many don't talk about the other millions of innocent people who were murdered alongside the Jews. Many don't see these people as victims at all. The number of people murdered during the Holocaust reaches close to eleven million people. “Contragenics” is the term used to talk about all of the groups who were murdered under the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. These innocent lives were lost in the Holocaust, and while history hasn’t forgotten, humanity has.

The Holocaust is a very large topic with many subtopics within, which many people have never heard of. One in particular is the Hidden Children of the Holocaust. Like a majority of individuals, I never heard of this topic before, until I started my inquiry work. Hiding children during the holocaust was an effort to save thousands of children’s lives. The children were hidden in different ways, either with false identities, underground, and with or without their parents. The children with false identities were allowed to participate in everyday life activities, like attend school and socialize with children their age, which in the long run this lead to less emotional and mental issues. However, the children that were hidden and not allowed to leave their hiding spots often faced boredom, pain, and torment. Some children were capable of being hid with their parents while other children were not. Depending on the situation the child was in, depends on the effects it had on the child during this time. In this paper, I will be discussing works by two scholars, Natalia Aleksiun’s Gender and Daily Lives of Jews in Hiding in Eastern Galicia and Judy Mitchell’s Children of the Holocaust. Aleksiun’s article talks about the daily lives of Jews in hiding and also about how they prepared their hideouts. Aleksiun’s article mainly focuses on children that were hidden with their families. In Mitchell’s article, he focuses on the hidden children and gives examples/survivor stories on what it

We must press through with our faith! The press helps fight past the weariness that will cause us to stand still if we don’t push. That’s what would happen to the children of Israel every time they came to a hard place. Whenever they would become weary, they would start mumbling and complaining. Weariness leads to disobedience and rebellion. They could not be satisfied. Everything was a burden and whatever God told Moses to do just wasn’t right in their eyes. Because they were tired from traveling, they began to focus on their flesh. Spiritual weariness is not just something that happened back then, we still contend with it today, often with the same response as the children of Israel. However, we know God doesn’t hear or respond to our
