Ho has achieved many things, but what makes him a hero?

Lilith-Silvia Doron bumped into Ho when Hitler was making his triumphal entry into Vienna on March 11, 1938. She explains, “Ho, who knew my family, accompanied me home. He claimed that, thanks to his diplomatic status, the [Nazis] would not dare harm us as long as he remained in our home. Ho continued to visit our home on a permanent basis to protect us from the Nazis.”
Despite the danger Ho did everything he

The article ‘Teens against Hitler ', by Lauren Tarshis, Describes the hardships and courageous acts of Ben Kamm, a Jewish ‘Partisan’ or fighter against Adolf Hitler during the Holocaust, and all Jews who faced the challenges during that tragic time. The Jewish only wanted a normal life, but German leader, Adolf Hitler, wanted to make sure all Jew would perish. So, they began piling Jews into concentration camps to kill them, Hitler would work them to death, starve them, and even murder them in gas chambers. Then, The ‘Partisans’ began to fight against Hitler and his army. This act of courage, despite the challenges and risks they faced, help many Jews survive the most horrific event in history, The Holocaust.
Shi Huangdi was the first emperor of China and can be considered on the best rulers of China or even more so of all time. Shi Huangdi united all of China, he took all of the conflicts in the warring states of China and resolved those conflicts and put them under one rule. Strict laws and punishments kept the people of his rule at peace, and everyone learned the same language which contributed to helping unite the people of China. All wars were brought to an end and all weapons were taken and melted for statues or other structures being built. The technology created in the Qin Dynasty was some of the most revolutionary innovations made at that time and even today with the making of gunpowder, the cast iron, and the crossbow.
Would you want us to consider him a prophet?” The old man then says, “I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people” (80-1). This shows how the Holocaust exposes the selfishness, evil, and cruelty of which everybody, not only the Nazis, but also his fellow prisoners, his fellow Jews, even himself, is cable of doing and believing. He believes that if the world can be disgusting and cruel that means that either God must be disgusting and cruel or that he does not exist at
Through all of this he still remained “human”, because of his and his father’s love for one another. The Jews in these camps were treated worse than dirt. This was the Nazi’s way of showing how much better they thought they were than the Jews. They would beat them for fun, kill them for entertainment, and verbally abuse them because they could. "
The holocaust took its toll on the lives of innumerable people. One particular survivor Elie Wiesel had his entire outlook on life changed not to mention his beliefs feeling and his innocence. His life was once a pleasant and comfort filled life, one with family and friends. A life worth living and a life that was filled with innocence and freedom of religion. He loved his religion as if it was life itself. He wanted to push himself to be more close to God but, that would soon change. As a result during Elie’s experience during the holocaust he changed from a religious, sensitive little boy to a spiritually dead , unemotional man.
helped so many Jewish people. Schindler definitely was not a man of many morals, but his
The German’s showed no compassion for any of the Jewish people. They just hated them for no reason. They did not care about what would happen to the Jews that they were sending away to concentration camps. When in those camps, most Jews just wanted to give up on life. Some other Jews found things to hold on to like family, friends, and the thought of going home one day.
The utter disregard for the life of human beings is exemplified so clearly in the second world war. Few, perhaps no events in modern times, not even during WWI, come close to horrors endured during the Holocaust. The Nazi party’s vision of a perfect and pure society stripped Jewish people, Roma people, gay people, mentally and physically disabled people, and many others of their lives.
A common misconception about the Holocaust is that the world was naïve of the atrocities happening under the Nazi’s rule. The horrors of the Holocaust were not left undocumented. Unfortunately, many saw these malicious acts as insignificant to the global population; people only start sympathizing when the hindrance affects them. Hitler, with the help of his many allies, achieved to murder millions of innocent men, women, and children. After spending this semester studying the Holocaust, I have realized that the Nazis’ greatest ally was neither an individual nor a country; Hitler’s greatest ally was indifference.
When many think of the Holocaust as a solely negative experience, and while it may seem easy to write the event off as a dark time in history that seems remote and unlikely to affect us today, there are some positive results, including the lessons that it brings for current and future humanity. The lessons that the Holocaust brings are applicable to every person in the world. While many of these lessons do focus on the negative aspects of the Holocaust, like what circumstances permit such a vast genocide and how many people can die because of widespread racial hatred, there are also those that focus on how some people, in all parts of Europe and throughout the world, retained their good human nature during the Holocaust. For example, what made some gentiles in Europe during that time willing and able to help Jews. Currently, Yad Vashem has recognized 26,513 rescuers throughout the world (Names), and the actual number of rescuers could likely be close to twice that amount (Baron,1). It is important that we analyze the reasons behind these rescuers’ choices to be upstanders instead of bystanders because we can learn about our own motivations when we face decisions between helping others and protecting ourselves, and possibly those we love, from harm. Fulfilling one’s self-interest was a potential motivation for helping Jews that will only be briefly addressed. This type of rescue potentially benefitted both the Jews and the Gentile rescuers; these Gentiles only helped Jews survive because they found personal gain, likely social or economic, in the action (Baron). However, in the situation that existed while rescuing the Jews, most efforts included the high possibility that both the rescuer and the rescued would end up worse off than they had begun with no potential for personal gain on either side. So those rescuers’ motivations are less easily explainable.
I was in Pharmacy department for one day and I learned about pharmacy technician from Pharmacy tech in Pharmacy department so, I decide to do research on both Pharmacist and on Pharmacy technician. It is really interesting that Pharmacist’s mean salary is $116,500 and it can go up to $147,350. The Pharmacy tech that I shadowed told me a lot about Pharmacist and about pharmacy technician and it was great learning from her about both careers. I found it really interesting that how Pharmacist and pharmacist technician can work in the environment they like the most, they can work in hospital pharmacy or at other local pharmacy stores. If I can get the Pharmacy technician job then I can learn a lot about pharmacist as well. This week was great because
Prisoners of the Holocaust spoke not only of religious faith disintegrating, but also how their faith in humanity depleted. Wiesel recounts how one prisoner said, “I’ve got more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He’s the only one who’s kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people” (77). The only person that the prisoners can put any of their trust into is the one who is slowly killing them. Another instance of loss of faith in humanity is when Wiesel witnesses the son of a rabbi he knew run away from his father. The son tries to escape his dying father so that he no longer has to take care of him and can selfishly live on. After watching this Wiesel finds himself praying to a god he no longer believes in, “My God, Lord of the Universe, give me the strength to never do what Rabbi Eliahou’s son has done” (87). No matter how tough it is to go on, Wiesel will not give up. He will continue to live through the miserable conditions of the Holocaust just so that he does not give up on his father, the only person he has faith left
The Rescuer: Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz As you think about the Nazis, what comes up to your mind first? Cruelty, inhumanity, Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust... Surely, the notorious Nazis were famous for their persecutions of Jews: They abused, tortured, dehumanized millions of Jews and eventually murdered them in gas chamber or crematorium. However, not all of the members of Nazis party were insensitive and unscrupulous, some of them stood up for the Jews and helped them to escape from genocide, though they knew they would receive the same treatment as Jews if they get caught.
There will be great challenges if one is a transformational leader and has a desire to be a part of a multi-cultural or multi-ethnic church. It is never easy transforming a homogeneous church of any demographics to a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic church. Old paradigms of thinking must be challenged with cultural intelligence and patience. A transformational leader is a pace setter for the rest of the church or denomination to facilitate necessary changes. This paper offers encouragement and strategies of overcoming certain variable s that can impede the progress of becoming a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic church.
ou were finally here, LONDON. You were a art student at the Brunel University of London England. Classes were enjoyable but after a while you thought it would be best to get your own place. Stop lynching off your parents and all. So you got this small comfy apartment that is near the Fray 's river, which was also close to your university. They were ecstatic to say the least, you getting a place to live meant more time for themselves. They were getting older and having there children there limited things they could do. They still helped you find this place though. So they aren 't wanting you completely gone from there live.
