The Holocaust Research Paper - 837 Words

The Holocaust, a sad time in human history, but in all that sadness, there were heroic stories of people and Nazi prisoners standing up for what was right instead of following the awful fascist state that was called Nazi Germany. In this paper, I write about a couple of the rebellions that some of the Jewish population in this time did to fight for what was right and trying to stop Nazi’s from brutally murdering them. Here, I tell these stories of heroes and heroism in the very evil Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler. The first rebellion I want to talk about happened on April 19, 1943. It took place in the Warsaw Ghetto which was the largest all Jewish ghettos in Nazi occupied Europe located in the Polish capital city. An estimated population of the Ghetto was 400,000. Germans put a nine foot wall topped with barbed wire surrounding the Ghetto closing it off to the outside world. If anyone tried to escape they would be shot on sight. Living conditions were hard in the Ghet to. Many died from disease or starvation. Many children were used to smuggle in food and supplies that would be illegally sold. The Nazi’s would periodically enter the Ghetto and round up Jews to deport to extermination camps. Different bands of guerrillas formed to put up a resistance to the Nazi’s. Jewish Fighter Organization (ZOB) and the Jewish Military Union (ZZW) organized to take back control of the Ghetto. They would smuggle guns and make bombs to use in their fight.

Mrs. Arana/ Period 3 Miranda Ruiz 5/16/11 The road to the creation of the Holocaust started with one man. Adolf Hitler.

Though use of the term itself dates only to the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward Jews long before the Holocaust--even as far back as the ancient world, when Roman authorities destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave Palestine.

There were nearly twelve years of planning and organizing the extermination of Jews in Europe. For most of those years, nearly all surrounding countries did not partake in assisting the survival of these Jews. Why?

Had other countries stepped in sooner to provide safety and rescue for the Jews, how different would history be?

The Holocaust was controlled by German Nazis who were mandated to kill all Jewish race. The Nazis didn’t have sympathy for no one. They killed men and women (elder or not), pregnant women, kids, and even babies. However, Jewish women were mainly targeted more than any other category in the Holocaust. For the most part, they were often more than fifty percent of the population that were killed by the Nazis. Women in the Holocaust suffered the most being thatRead MoreBlack Newspapers And The Holocaust1608 Words   |  7 Pagescontinue to cover the Holocaust? After finding limited articles pertaining to the events of Kristallnacht, I was curious to see if more coverage would be dedicated to the events that came after. I specifically wanted to look into African American newspapers of the day in order to see how the African American community reacted to the atrocities. During this time period many African Americans were facing persecution at home, so I figured they would approach new of the Holocaust with a different outlookRead MoreComparing American Slavery and the Holocaust994 Words   |  4 Pages The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the American Slavery and the Holocaust, in terms of which one was more malevolent than the other. Research indicates that â€Å"the â€Å"competition† between African-American and Jews has served to trivialize the malevolence which both has suffered† (Newton, 1999). According to L.
