Differences that became the matters of life and death were mainly anything Jewish, religion, appearance, culture all these factors catered to the life or death of millions of Jews in Europe. At times, yes, differences between people may lead to conflict, like a difference in opinion can lead to a conflict. And with the case of the holocaust the differences Hitler saw between Jews and the rest of the world lead to a conflict, "Anti-Jewish decrees followed each other in quick succession. Jews must wear a yellow star, Jews must hand in their bicycles, Jews are banned from trains and are forbidden to drive." (page 713) in this excerpt from ANNE FRANK: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL shows how Hitlers views of the Jews lead to conflicts including the restrictions of …show more content…
She was alive again in my mind."(page 722) in Anne Frank Remembered when Meip reads the diary she sees that Anne was alive again and no matter how she remembered her the words and lives and personality of Anne which shines new light upon Meip. I think it's important to remember everything that was done during the Holocaust in the name of both differences and similarities because they all had an impact of the world and it's history, although some of the things that were done behind the name of either similarities or differences were not very good it's important to look at them and learn how the decision of things like the holocaust changed the world, " Memory's here not to sow anger in our hearts, but on the contrary, a sense of solidarity with all those who need us." (page 739) this piece of text shows that remembrance and memories is not to be associated and sadness with anger instead we need to respect and show how we can remember things regardless of being good or not, and an example would be the Holocaust. There are hundreds to millions of reasons to forget. By forgetting we let go of the pains that haunt us or the fear that patronizes us, like a survivor of the Holocaust.
Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.
In conclusion, the people had not changed the had changed them. In some hard condition such as the Holocaust, the people will be modified because the hard situation made civilians hard to survive so they changed. It is not the individuals who want be change; it is the environment forced them to
The Holocaust, a morbid atrocity that made people question humanity, was the cause of millions of deaths. One of those victims of this brutality was Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who hid from the Nazis along with her family. Although she was merely ordinary, Anne Frank kept a diary which became a significant, historical artifact in the modern world as it details her account of concealing her identity from the outside world. Her story, told in an innocent perspective, allows individuals to reflect the dreadful events of the Holocaust and acknowledge how far we have come since then. Even though she died along with millions of other victims from the Holocaust, her spirit still exists thanks to her articulately written words in her diary which is now considered one of the most famous works of literature. Anne Frank’s legacy still lives on today because her story provides a primary source of a dark period in history, insightful contemplation of humanity, and motivation for people to stand up against unjustified persecution.
During the Holocaust many Jews were hidden in fear. Force to live together and make a living. There was no discrimination of age of Jews. Jews old and young alike were persecuted. Like the three teens named Margot Frank, Anne Frank, and Peter Van Daan. These teens have
The Holocaust was the worst genocide in history. The obstacles people went through would almost kill them. It is important people know about this topic so they do not make the same mistake again. Studies have shown that 5 in 10 millennials do not know about Auschwitz, let alone the Holocaust (CBS News). Many European countries have made Holocaust denial illegal. Obstacles were overcome in many Holocaust books/videos including PAPER CLIPS, multiple childrens books, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS, and THE BOOK THIEF.
The Holocaust was the result of the cumulation of years of racism and pure hatred. The Holocaust’s legacy has to be preserved if there is any chance to eliminate racial genocide. Learning about terrible events like the Holocaust helps to promote a sense of responsibility and a fight for human rights. Knowing that blind hatred can lead to genocide will help to eliminate genocide because knowing that something horrible is preventable forces a sense of responsibility for those who can to stop it. Remembering the Holocaust is a way to ensure that anything like it is never repeated because if something so terrible is preventable, everyone should help to prevent
Once, Elie Wiesel a Holocaust survivor stated, “Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Elie is explaining how innocent children would be killed just for being Jewish. During the Holocaust, about 6 million Jews were killed. They were first highly discriminated and then that led to the concentration which they were forced to work to the death. During the Holocaust, the discrimination impacted the way people viewed Jews and helped Hitler’s ultimate plan. To begin, there were many political laws implemented against Jews. Secondly, Following all of the political laws implemented against the Jews, there were also many social laws that the Jews faced. Lastly, the Nazis separated the Jews from the rest of society by creating ghettos.
George Santayana was once quoted saying, “The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again.” The Holocaust was tragic moment in history. If we don’t learn from the history of the Holocaust we could repeat it and that would be another mistake. The Holocaust museum was created as a remembrance.
From details that I know about the topic of separation during the holocaust, was that a lot of Jewish family members were broken apart from each other. Most Jewish family members managed to stay hidden, changed their identities, etc. while the other remaining families were taken captive by the Nazis. For the members that were taken captive by the Nazis into concentration camps, they were not always placed with each other. Only luckily were 2 or 3 family members of the same gender placed in the same camp. Even while hidden from the Nazis, family members had to be careful when stepping outside of their safehouse for they can be caught by the Nazi troops noticing their Jewish star badge on their shirt. If this incident does occur of where a member
With this notion of “genocide” still being a new term, historians such as Horst Drechsler and Helmut Bley in 1966 begin to examine the German colony of South West Africa under the context of possible genocide. These authors are writing in an era of post-WWII, Cold War ideologies. This topic inspiring heated debates on genocide, reparations, and the connection to the Holocaust. It continues to be a topic of discussion in an African independence, contemporary time frame with historians such as Jürgen Zimmerer, Benjamin Madley, and Werner Hillebrecht. Dividing these debates into two sections of focus ask the question, was the German-Herero war genocide, and if so how does it connect to the Holocaust 30 years later. Historians challenged the notion
Holocost. What do you think when this comes to mind. Hitler?, The persecution of Jews? But what about how long it took. Hitler committed a mass genocide in 5 years. But what about three months? A terrible event took place in Rwanda over the two clans named the Tutsi and Hutu. Each one fighting for vengeance over Rwanda. Recent reports state that over 2 Million citizens were killed in a 3 month period. Many citizens went through hardships to survive. Many similar things happened in comparison of the holocaust. There was two brave souls who survived both of the tragic events. These are the comparison between them.
Some differences would be religion, race, and population size. Hitler hated the Jews because he believed that being Jewish (by religion or race) makes that person inferior. At the same time, he also thought that they were a major force and that “the struggle for world domination will be fought entirely between us, between Germans and Jews.” (quote by Adolf Hitler)
In paragraph 2 of “Teaching the Holocaust” it reads, “...believes that parents are generally uncomfortable talking about difficult issues with their children,” and in the same paragraph it states, “Most parents would prefer that the schools take care of it.” So if parents do not teach it to their children, and schools decide not to teach it to their students, then how will the children know and learn from the past? In paragraph 5 of “The World Must Not Forget” it proclaims that, “It is well that the stories be told and retold, however unpleasant they are, and that the photographs be seen by all the world. The world must know and it must not forget. It must know and remember the character of the enemy we are overthrowing and make sure that the enemy never again can gain the strength to perpetuate more horrors,” this shows that although it might be brutal for some, the Holocaust matters and should not be
The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.
First of all, Anne Frank is only one of a million Jewish children who died during the slaughter and she represents the lost potential of all the children. However, she is one of the most recognized victims because of her diary. Only a small amount of children persecuted during the catastrophe wrote diaries that have survived. Her diary reflects a varied and complex view of a young girl who lived and died during the mass murder. Her diary is one of the best-written diaries authored by a teenager living and hiding during a catastrophe and details a
