The victims were an estimated 3,000,000 Jews from Poland, 900,000 from the Ukraine, 450,000 from Hungary, 300,000 from Romania and many more. The Nazis called it the Final Solution. Jews died of sicknesses like tuberculosis and diseases caused by the bad conditions of the camps. The Final Solution was enforced by a variety of methods. Some Jews were literally worked to death. Thousands of Jews were rounded up and murdered in mass shootings, which went for hours, and sometimes even days. Half or more of the Jews who died in the Holocaust were choked to death by the fumes released by crystals in the gas chambers of the extermination camps. Some died of starvation. Some froze to death in the unheated ghettos. Holocaust deniers often call themselves “revisionists.” I thought that this book was very interesting because it tells you about the “deniers” and who they really are.
Between 1933 and 1935, political opponents of the Nazis were the most likely to be sent to the camps. At first they focused on communists. There was a law that was passed that let the SS take anybody to the camps without going to trial. From 1938 onward, Germany began to take control, usually by force, of other European countries. Everyday the camp commandant was given the number of people that had died. There were also female kapos at women camps. The SS had dogs, and they were behind the Jews all the time. If one of the prisoners collapsed, the dogs would be all over them. The camps also had orchestras. The orchestras were made up prisoners, and they would play for the SS. The people at the hospital wre given less food because the SS said that they weren’t working. Some workers stole parts to make a radio and listen to religious services on the radio. People were only allowed in the bathroom first thing In the morning and that’s it. People were so hungry all the time that they would even scoop up the disgusting camp soup from the ground.
Reflection: I think that the Jewish people were strong because they survived in those camps for a long time. The Germans should of gave all the Jews money so they could start a new life.
The book I'm reading this morning is call “life and death in Hitler’s Europe” it talks about how the Nazis wanted to have all their land perfect how they only focus on having everything they want and one thing that the Nazis wanted was no eliminate all the Jews people. They created the Holocaust were they killed five to six million Jews. When German lost the world war I in 1918, the treaty of Versailles took a lot of land from German and reduce the size of its army and navy. When this happen Hitler wanted to make a army again so he try to created a army. They did not stop the Nazis because they did not wanted to have another war. But even dew Hitler was creating a war. German had problem with their economic. The German government could not solve the country problems so they say that they wanted to have a liter like Hitler. When Hitler came to power the country solution became and they also did solve their solution they also took over a lot of countries. They wanted to have a perfect country they created a concentration camp were they took the people they thought they were just not perfect to stay with that country they were trying to created. They took the Jews, gypsies, homosexual, the physically and mentally disabled, and Jehovah's witness were all considered to be undesirable. On the picture that is in here I see hoe Hitler is trying to make a perfect army.
+ Children of the Slaughter
+ By Ted Gottfried
+ It may seem the victims of the Holocaust were the only victims of Hitler’s rule but that isn’t true. In Germany, when World War II began as many as 8,870,000 children were forced to be enrolled in Hitler’s Youth. The Nazi’s created this program to ensure their future fighters knew to be against the Jewish. The children of this program were taught to believe the Nazi theory that Germans belonged to the Aryan race and that the Aryan race was superior to other people. Also, that Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and others were the inferior race. Soon, these children were brainwashed and grew up to accept the extermination views of the Nazis. Some of the Hitler Youth took active role in the slaughter and others rejected their ways, but everyone was affected by the Holocaust. *** I had always felt bad for the victims who were actually in the concentration camps being prosecuted by the Nazis but I also feel for the people who were forced into the Nazis way of life.
he had been a free man for a few months, but he still felt as though he was merely marking time and postponing the decisions he would have to make concerning his future. He was totally unequipped for that future having been brought up to believe in the importance of learning he felt that to face it intelligently he would have to complete his formal education which had been interrupted after only four years. When a new displace person camp opened at Zeilsheim, near the army base in Frankfurt, Larry enthusiastically seized the opportunity to resume his studies. Establishment of the new DP camp was a necessity. Larry was one of the first Jewish refugees to come to Frankfurt after the war but in a very short time he was one of many the number of homeless men and women in the city had grown to an estimated three thousand by the end of 1945.
Section title: The growing hit list
Picture description: The picture haves a lady that is in front of a shoe warehouse there is a sign that saids(the Germans defend yourselves against Jewish atrocity propaganda but only at German shops!!!)
This section talk about how that Nazis believed that the German people were Aryans the descendants. But to be a German you had to have their blood. they said that their blood was sacred, its purity had to be guarded against diseases, mental illness, homosexual leanings. I also read about how some of the Nazis were forced to be sterilized for them not to have kids. The way that it was done with drugs or surgically about 400,000 people were forced. Some of the people that were sterilized would go crazy because they wouldn’t be able to have sex at all there was times were they intent to suicide. What I think about this is that there was no reason for them to be forced not to have kids or to have sex.This didn’t had to do anything with war, I think it would have been better to have more kids so that when they are older they could enjoy war.
Viewing the Holocaust Today.
In this book, it asks the same simple questions, "What was the Holocaust?" and "Why did it happen?" Well the Holocaust is a name used for the persecution and murder of about 6 million Jewish people. The Nazi Germany government was responsible for all of the murders. The reason why the Holocaust happened was back when Germany lost WWI and became bankrupt and isolated. Germany's citizens became worried about their future. Thats when Hitler came in, with a strong voice and explained that Germany's suffering was because of the Jewish citizens. For a while, the German-Jewish people were being tortured by Aryan men to the point where everyone completely hated them all and wanted them out of their country. "The Final Solution" was brought up. The Final Solution was a plan to exterminate all Jewish people in Europe. The book shows pictures of Hitler, some Nazi people, and soldiers working for Hitler. It shows pictures of some prisoners being beaten by the gestapo, and pictures of prisoners. I think its crazy how Hitler got all the Germans to change their emotions into hatred towards the Jewish people. No one was really thinking about what they were really doing, i wonder if the German people even knew what was going on, and if they did know that it was happening, would they turn against Hitler for it?
The name of the book that I read is survivors of the Holocaust. The book starts out by talking about how they estimate that 5.7 million Jews died. The book also talks about how most of the survivors wouldn’t talk about what happened to them when they came out of the camps. Then after a while the people would be brave enough to talk about everything. The only people that knew what happened in the concentration camps were the Jews and people that were on it. Another way that they found out about what happened is trough pictures that the Jews hid. Even thoe the Germans tried to get ride of all the proof there were still pictures and letters found by people that died. Mostly the people that survived were people from big family and young. Some of the survivors were lucky to have a family member that survived, and most of them weren’t use to real life. The survivors were so used to being treated like animals for a long time and felt guilty and unworthy. Most of the survivors said that they survived because they had loved ones they were strong and they believed that they were going to survive but none of this count if you were in a group with a cruel SS officer. This are all the things that I read from my book.
The ss then made it difficult for the prisoners to trust each other. They put prisoners in to trust each other. They prisoners in charge of other prisoners and encouraged different kinds of prisoners to hate each other. The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Hoes said we encouraged various groups to see each other as enemies we did everything we could to encourage not only the political differences, but also other antagonisms between various groups of prisoners. This made it much less likely that they would all join together against us.
