Survivors of the Holocaust
The picture that I have seen so far was a picture of SS soldiers lined up in a straight double line. The other picture is of a Jewish guy sitting on a floor, he is very skinny and looks very pale,and hungry.
In 1966 the Nazi party came to power in Germany. The Nazi’s began to think of ways to take over the country so they can create a country that will be far bigger then Germany. That’s soon when discrimination began. They had started to build camps and arrest people who they thought were opponents, and they would put them in these special prison camps. The camps were ran by the SS soldiers [Security Staff]. The SS soldiers were set up to be Hitler’s private bodyguards. The camps which were ran by the SS soldiers were very effective. By 1935 they were starting to be filled with people who were considered undesirable. For example they would lock up drunks, criminals, and people that were even unemployed. The Nazi’s had very wrong ideas about race. They had began a Nazi empire in 1938, they had taken over Austria and other countries. They had caused war on Germany on September 3,1939. All the opponents in the countries that they had attacked were all put in the concentration camps. As you can see the camps played a large part in the Holocaust. Many people had died for the harsh conditions in the camps, and many had suffered. They had started to set up “death camps” just to kill thousands of Jewish people each day.
I feel bad for what they had to go through back in the day. Im very sympathetic when it comes to people suffering.
The SS would treat the Jews very bad. They considered getting hung by the hands a mild punishment. If they wouldn’t work fast enough they would be hung by the hands. While they were being hung by the hands the SS would beat them and their dogs would attack them. The Germans would also take all the goods that the Jews left behind. They would give them to the Germans as part of their welfare program. Some Jews would get release certificates and would be allowed to leave. They would have to check in with the police station before moving into a city. The SS saw Jewish babies and young children as economically worthless. Once the final solution was adopted, they were sent straight to the gas chambers. Before, they have been killed or left to starve death. The new arrivals would get divided into two lines, men and women. Everyone got a shower with some chemicals to prevent lice. When they were done showering they would get a prisoner uniform. Most of their prisoners were photographed and documented.
Reflection: I think that what the Germans did was crazy. I also think that the SS soldiers that are still alive should be locked up.
The book I am reading is called “Children of the Slaughter.” It is about how children German and Jewish were involved in the holocaust. During the holocaust, 1.5 million innocent children were murdered during that time. That amount adds up to one quarter of the six million Jews killed by the Nazis during WWII. The holocaust effected everyone. Adolf Hitler created Jew-Hating programs where German children as young as 10 years old would join and beat Jews and Gypsies. In the beginning of WWII 8,870,000 children joined the Hitler Youth organization. 82% were young boys and girls in the group. They were convinced that Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and others were less than human. The boys and girls were in two separate groups, and also separated by 2 different age groups. The boys would live by one quote “Live faithfully, Fight Bravely, and Die laughing.” The girls lived by this quote, “Be Faithful, Be Pure, Be German” German parents were told that if they did not enroll their children into the Hitler Youth Program, the parents will be held responsible, and be given a fine, or possibly put into jail. 5 thousand of these children were put into the German war. Only 100 of them survived the war. Most of them were around the age of 15. A while before all the Jews were being deported to camps, Jews could be arrested for any type of reason and sent away to camps, but among all these new rules, there was one young boy who fought against the Germans. His name was Herschel Grynszpan, he was 17 years old. His parents were some of the 50 thousand Jews who lived in Germany. “Young Grynszpan wanted to send a message of protest to the world by performing a desperate deed.” On November 7, 1938, he shot an official of the German embassy in Paris. The assassination was like a match lighting the dynamite fuse of German anti-Semitism.
Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 in Austria. He did very bad in school and he then left to Vienna to see if they would give him a chance to make it as an art student. They told Hitler that he didn’t have enough talent to be an art student. He lived in Vienna living in poverty for about five years. He later started to hate Jews, Communists, and educated people. He began to think that the Jews were a conspiracy to keep him from the success he thought he should have. Later Hitler joined the German army and fought in World War I. He got many medals for bravery. He linked Germany’s defeat to alleged Jewish treachery.
I think Hitler shouldn’t have done what he did. He shouldn’t have blamed the Jew’s for his failure. He might have been so depressed he might have wanted to take his anger, or frustration on the people who e more successful than him.
Reflection- After The Holocaust-By Howard Greenfeld
On may 8, 1945, the allies-Great Britain, France, the USSR, and the United States-announced the unconditional surrender of Germany. The day was known as V-E Day, marked the formal end of the Second World War in Europe. The defeat of Hitler’s army signaled there were no more battles, no more bombings, no more useless killings of innocent soldiers or blameless civilians. Making it the greatest outburst of joy in the history of mankind.
The Nazis began arresting anyone they saw as a political opponent. The people Hitler saw as most undesirable were Jewish people. The Nazis often twisted the truth to make people believe their views. Survivors left written and spoken evidence of the Holocaust. As the Allies reached Berlin on April 30, 1945, Hitler shot himself. On May 2 the Germany armies in Italy surrendered. Between 5.1 and 5.8 million people were murdered. The Nazis also murdered over 200,000 European Gypsies and hundreds of thousands of Russians, Poles, and members of resistance movements. Man German soldiers were killed or captured. The SS destroyed what papers they could and killed all of the sick and weak prisoners they could find. One of the most obvious effects of the Holocaust on survivors was that almost all of them were sick, starved, and homeless. American soldiers recorded deaths so it could not be denied later. Many Holocaust survivors barely remember being liberated. These people were too ill to remember. I thought that this book has a lot of facts about the Holocaust that you don’t often hear. It was very interesting.
+ Viewing of the Holocaust Today
+ The book contains pictures of Adolf Hitler, Nazis, Nazis beating prisoners, young prisoners, and a survivor displaying his tattoo from the concentration camp.
+ The Holocaust is the name given to the persecution of Jews in Europe from 1939-1945. Approximately six million Jews were killed in this period of time. The Nazis also targeted other groups for mistreatment, about 200,000 mentally and physically disabled people were killed. Hitler believe in the "Master race" or the "Aryan Race" and anyone who did not have blonde hair and blue eyes were to be murdered along with the Jews. This included, Gypsies, Poles, Russians, homosexuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses. The Nazis later declared that Jews were "life unworthy of life" and this led to what was called, "The Final Solution." In 1940, Hitler sent already un healthy and poor Jews to concentration camps, otherwise known as death camps. Nazis built gas chambers to murder their prisoners faster and more efficiently. between 1941 and 1944, much of Europe fell under Hitler's shadow. Several millions of Jews were forced to the concentration camps. Only Germany's surrender to the United States and Soviet forces in 1945 stopped the slaughter.
This book is about the huge murder of the Jews. In 1933 there came the Holocaust was a human tragedy on an unimaginable scale. The paintings diaries, letters, and poems that survive from the time are extremely important because they help us recognize that those who suffered and died were human. About 15,000 children passed though Terezin ghetto between 1941 and 1944. Only about 100 of them survived most of them died in Auschwitz they are remembered by the collection of around 4,000 pictures and hundreds of poems that they left behind.
The book I am readinig is called childern of the slughter.the picture is that i see is a lot of died little kids that are just lieing down in a big piell theres little kids that are as little as 2months old to 8 years old and they mite have older kids also.i learned that The holocaust effected everyone. Adolf Hitler created Jew-Hating programs where German children as young as 10 years old would join and beat Jews and Gypsies. In the beginning of WWII 8,870,000 children joined the Hitler Youth organization. 82% were young boys and girls in the group. They were convinced that Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and others were less than human.also they had every rowrong race about others. i fill really bad to hear and see them die and fill like that. i cant see how they can treat them little kids that way.
The Children We Remember
This book is dedicated to the children who died in the Holocaust. They were innocent children. All they did was play. Go to school. Sit by themselves or help people. Before the Nazis came they lived in regular houses, just like anyone else. Just like us. Then The Nazis came everything turned. They closed churches, school and stores owned by Jews. They took away their houses. Some families were forced to live in the streets. The children were poor. They shared the little food they had. It is unbelievable how much they heated the children because they were Jews. The Nazis separated many families. The Nazis killed children. In this book I see pictures of when Jews and everything was normal. The schools Jewish children used to go to. Another picture was about the synagogues they went to pray to. There was also a picture where the Nazis burned down a synagogue. There was a picture of a Nazi official shooting a mother and she is trying to cover her child. There are several pictures of children that were killed during the Holocaust. The one that impacted me the most was of a boy named Willie. He look so cute standing there. He kind of looks like he wants to cry. How can someone be so cruel to kill all these innocent children.

The book I’m reading is called “displaced persons the liberation and abuse of holocaust survivors”. It say that they Nazis made the Jews get necked so they will take a shower. They will butted them so they will work hard the Nazis say that they did not know how to work so they will going to show them how to. The Nazis plant a lot of ways of how to killed the prisoners. They first killed the people that were not useful to work any more. When the Russia find them they found out that the prisoners were in a really bad condition they even took a lot to the hospital. The Nazis wanted to take all the evidence they could so the people will never now what happen. On the picture that is in here I see how the SS will tutored the prisoners and they will suffer a lot.
Blog #4: In the book “Darkness over Denmark”, in section 3 Jews in Denmark it goes over the immigration of the Jews. There were thousands of Jews in Denmark when the Germans attacked on April 9 and they all were afraid. Several Jews present in Denmark where there trough immigration mostly from Russia and WWI. The Jews that came from Russia came to Denmark because of riots in which the people were allowed to beat and murder Jews. The Jews have faced persecution for centuries so many Jews came to Denmark in 1622 to escape to the religious freedom promised by King Christian IV. The kind of persecution varied in 1516 the Catholic Church ordered for walls to be built around Jewish communities, these sections of the land were called Ghettos. There were several Ghettos in western Europe at the time and in western Europe they faced the same persecutions as their brothers across the way. The eastern Jews were also isolated but not with walls but just from the communities and like the Nazis persecution after this they had to wear patches to indicate that they were Jewish. In 1814 several years before the other nations in Europe Jews were established as equals. By 1940 the Jewish and not Jewish Danes were so well integrated that it they were endangered of disappearing trough intermarriage, though later on they gained some more ground as more Jewish immigrants who brought heavy Jewish influence. Much later on the Danes helped the Jews of Germany escape first to Denmark and then to Palestine. Jewish diversity was celebrated in Denmark rather than in Germany, shown when the king of Denmark was invited to a ceremony to commemorate the 100th anniversary of a Synagogue. This was all possible because of the Lutheran rule of the King which had respected religious freedom an. The king, although Hitler called for a boycott of Jewish stores, he gratefully went.
The religious equality of the Danish is outstanding and the inequality posed by the Catholic community is not right or even supported by its own standards of a peaceful world which is shocking.
The title of the book I have chosen is life and death In Hitler Europe. When I look at the pictures of the book I mainly see Nazis patrolling and occupying many of the European cities. I also see many pictures of Hitler making speeches with great charisma.
I have learned many things from this book like that in 1933 the Nazi party led by Adolf Hitler came to power and became the only political party in Germany. The Nazis wanted to create a huge German empire called the third Reich. I also learned that between 1938 and 1945 , the German army marched into and occupied much of Europe including Poland, France, the Netherlands, and parts of the soviet union. Nearly defecting the British empire, France and the U.S.S.R. During this time the Nazis systematically killed off many of the people who they thought of as undesirable. The largest group of people killed were called the Jewish people. The Nazis killed between five and six million Jews in what became known as the holocaust. They were to destroy all of the Jewish people in the areas they controlled. I think this is the most inhuman behavior next to the dark ages. This was madness, the Nazi party was wrong and suppressed with there ideals.
