Humanitarian Intervention In The Holocaust

Throughout the years there has unfortunately been several instances of genocide and one of the most horrifying and tragic genocides was with the Nazi Holocaust that took place from 1938 until 1945. Another one of the horrifying genocides in history was the Bosnia-Herzegovina genocide that took place from 1992 until 1995. A genocide is essentially a systematic murder. Genocide is basically an attempted murder on individuals based on social or political reasons. Bosnia-Herzegovina was responsible for 200,000 deaths and the Nazi Holocaust was responsible for 6,000,000 deaths! Just because the amount of deaths between the two are drastically different does not mean that they did not both do a tremendous amount of damage and take a great deal of

The United nations refused to intervene during the genocide but instead provided humanitarian aid. As time went on they established six “safe area.” These efforts failed because the U.N. was not prepared or didn’t have the correct resources. The hostile situation went on for over four years. In the beginning of the Bosnian War, U.N. did nothing to stop mass executions, concentration camps, rape and sexual violence, and forced displacement. Again, their role was to show a presence, give assistance when needed and be

If nations knew that there would be consequences to their calculations of profit from the genocide, that would cause them to lean towards the right and not the wrong. Taking away the benefits of any alliance or trade, to the ones that cause genocide would intensify the seriousness of their atrocities. Together, every member of all diplomatic nations, must have the right to intervene in military interventions. Solving the issue before it happened would have been helpful when the Serbians manipulated Bosnians by feeding the children cookies, and assuring them not to be afraid. The United Nations should have not been deceived by these actions, nor abandoned 25,000 Bosnians gathering in a United Nations base, wanting protection. Not only did the Unite Nations ignore this situation, but they claimed to not have any information about the Rwandan genocide that cause the deaths of 800,000 individuals. Therefore, we must hold our leaders accountable to their promises to alleviate the issues, otherwise they should be denied not to hold that

Serbians held an “ethnic cleansing” for anyone who was non-Serbian. Most non-Serbians did not correspond with the political and religious background which led to war and the Bosnian Genocide(”Bosnian” 1). The two genocides were both influential in making the world come together and work for the better good, yet they do differ in how they were conducted. Although the genocides of the Jewish ethnicity and Bosnian Muslims have comparisons, there are many differences in the processes on how and why people were killed.

The United States did not get too involved in the Holocaust at the beginning, but began to fight against the dictator, Adolf Hitler, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Anything made a difference, from storming the beaches of Normandy, to doing small attacks on the Japanese. Although we were worried about the wellbeing of our country, we should have intervened earlier than we did. Because of the lack of interference from outside countries, millions of Jewish people, and some others, were killed.

The Holocaust during World War II was the toughest time for all the Jews. A man named Adolf Hitler came in control of Germany Government and the Nazi's was created and intruded into many countries in Europe. Some of the countries included Poland, Greece, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, France, Norway, and Netherlands. The Nazi's soldiers stands by every corners and capture every Jew they laid their eyes on was then send to the concentration camps. The Jews are later put on a train for a long period of time with no life necessities available for example food, water, and a bathroom. After arriving at the camps the females and males are separated, and they went their own ways. The Jews were forced to work for the Nazi's; however in the end the German

The U.S. and World Response to this tragedy that will forever be remembered. All those lives that were lost. Approximately six million lives were lost due to this tragic event. The World was shocked to see unimaginable pictures of people that died, in the Holocaust. Many of the people that lived thru the Holocaust and that died were stacked like piles of haystack. Could this event have had happen without know one knowing? And if they knew why didnt know one do anything to stop it. If the Allies knew about this why did they let this very silence death.

The Holocaust is something that we must never forget. Its occurrence relied only “upon the indifference of bystanders in every land” (Zukier). Even today we stand by while innocent lives are taken. The recent conflicts in Rwanda or Bosnia, or past conflicts in Cambodia, are merely three examples. Wherever genocide occurs one thing is sure to happen– individual lives become lost in massive numbers and the tolls are so large

Countless events in the world have been caught in history books but between the ones that have held to the memory of people is the holocaust. The Holocaust was a very disturbing event that triggered an eye-opener for individuals about how harsh humans can be. The purpose for this is since the vast number of victims and questions as to what was the actual motive behind the need to defeat a whole community. Holocaust is an organized, state financed torment and slaying of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi government run by Adolf Hitler. Separately from Jews, other groups considered lesser or anti-establishment, such as Polish, Gypsies, and Romans were killed. There were numerous reasons for these gruesome murders, insensitive imprisonment and enslavements of victims who were forced into labor while starving.

Due to the actions throughout the holocaust the Nazis need to be stopped. Starting in 1933 the holocaust is one of the most horrid scenes of WWII. The holocaust had killed six million people by the end of WWII. The Nazis had made the Jews suffer for over 10 years and had half them locked up in camps. The Nazis had kep them locked up for years with no water, no food, and no contact with anyone. They kept a strict watch on prisoners and didn't allow them to do anything. They threw people out of their houses kidnapped people fro mthe jobs all because if a religion they followed and because of a previous war, in which Hitler thought that the Jews were responsible for them losing the economic war during WWI. Due to the actions throughout the holocaust

The point of where this all began was when Adolf Hitler came to became known as a war hero after World War I, and soon after gaining enough power to become chancellor of Europe in January of 1933. In March of 1933 one of the world 's greatest and worst tragedies in history began. This tragedy was the holocaust where the Jews were persecuted, and killed all because of the man named Adolf Hitler. He used his power and influence on others to make it seem like the Jewish people were behind everything that had happened to them. There were many things that they did to the Jews that were inhuman and evil to the very core. One thing they

Over the past few years, several deadly genocides have occurred. However, one of the most infamous genocides to occur was the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the “massive destruction of European Jewry during World War II, when millions were systematically persecuted and exterminated solely because of their social, cultural, ethnic, or religious characteristics” (Barel, Van Ijzendoorn, Sagi-Schwartz, Bakermans-Kranenburg). Contrary to popular belief, Jews were not the only group targeted in the Holocaust, as five million more lives were taken in groups other than the Jews. Three other groups targeted during his deadly event were the homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled, and the ethnic minorities, whose death toll equaled 2,285,000, a combined total that clearly showed how determined the Nazis were in destroying their targeted victims in the Holocaust..

Locating Jewish rescue in global Holocaust memory, my paper exams how Jewish rescue as a national conduct has been discussed among historians. Looking into these historical debates as parts of the on-going trend of mystifying and demystifying national rescue of the Jews, my paper traces the development of this trend since the post-war period within a global historical context. In term of geographical scope, this paper mainly looks into Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In particular, it does not include Anglo-America, where debates on rescue are far more mature and complex than other places, and therefore needs more lengthy and comprehensive discussions. Although Anglo-America is not exempted from the global myth of national rescue and do fit

It’s 1939 and The Red Cross is trying to intervene in the war but its not working. What do they do? Nothing, that's what they do. They were met with a refusal because the German authorities didn’t under any circumstances want to discuss the fate of these people (“The ICRC in WWII”). After that, the ICRC went with a strategy of no longer addressing the question of Jews directly (“The ICRC in WWII”). The Red Cross should have been held accountable for the lack of action in the timely liberation of concentration camps in Nazi Europe.

We as a nation should prevent genocide by being open minded to when these events occur. We shouldn't have been passive when this was happening we have to act accordingly, when the mass killings were happening. Even though we did help in the end we should have been there in the beginning, so that we can prevent less deaths and destruction. A way we could have prevented less damage and deaths was to start with the Treaty of Versailles.
