+Art, Music, & Writings from the Holocaust
+By Susan Willoughby
+A few of the pictures show drawings of the victims, paintings of the camps liberated, Hitler & the Nazis, the ideal Germans, and other paintings from different artists.
+The only art, music, or any type of literature allowed had to be approved by Hitler. Between 1941 & 1945, thousands of people were sent from Eastern Europe to concentration camps. They were forced to travel by trains in over-crowded cattle trucks for many days with very little water and even less food. This book contains pictures of the most horrible scenes of the Holocaust. Around 2,500 writers fled Germany in the early years of Nazi rule.
At first only boys were recruited by the Nazi youth group. It was not acceptable that young German girls should be trained as future storm troopers. The girls were trained to be “strong mothers and obedient wives.” Some of the Hitler Youth grew up to take an active part in the slaughter. The German children were taught to believe the Nazi theory that Germans belonged to the Aryan race. International law says that a nation may not murder its own citizens. The Nazis broke all of these laws and others. World War 1 ended in November 1918 and Germany was defeated. There was not enough food and people starved and there was no work. Germany’s first democratic government was formed after the war. People who are defeated, hungry and jobless become bitter and frustrated. Jewish shops were vandalized by Nazi storm troopers. Lots of Synagogues were destroyed. Hitler and the Nazis took over the German government in 1933. Hitler had received 30.1 percent of the votes in an election for president of Germany

Tonia Blair left Poland behind and traveled to Berlin with her fellow survivors from Lodz. Their train broke down after crossing the German border, and only the intervention and reassurances of a kindly Jewish Russian soldier gave them the courage and the means to continue on to the capital. From there, in late December 1945, they were taken to a large displaced persons camp at Landsberg, some thirty-five miles from Munich. The small town, otherwise undistinguished, remains infamous as the site of the prison in which Adolf Hitler wrote his testament, Mein Kampf, in 1924.
At the time of Tonia arrival in late 1945, the camp was dangerously overcrowded. The refugees occupied former German Military Barracks, which had been built for twenty-five hundred soldiers, but now housed forty-five hundred people. Another thousand DPs lived in seventeen houses and apartment blocks adjacent to the camp itself. Although a large majority of the residents came from Poland, others came from Lithuania, Hungary, Greece, and the Soviet Union.
Section Title: The Righteous Germans
Picture description:Theres is a pastor that is holding his religious book which I call it the bible.
Summary: This section was about a schoolgirl. Her name was Marion fuerst.She was only nineteen years old, and world war 2 had not yet begun. She work had a cashier at a store. It was the time when persecution was making Germany intolerable place for Jews. They were desperate to leave the country, but the Nazis place many obstacles in their way. Marion was a girl that was really attractive she had blonde hair and blue eyes. she was one of the best women that the Nazis could ever had and seen. Her Aryan looks put her beyond suspicion. The networks supplied her with forged documents,doctoered passports, phony visas, train tickets, and packets of money, So she had almost the right to do almost everything on both sides. She would be the type of person that would get all this documents and would hide them under her clothes so that they wouldn’t see her. What I think is that how can she be able to do both things in both sides if that would kind of be like a betrayed.
This great Tuesday morning I read the book Life and Death in the Camps. This morning I read about the camps. There were various types of camps. The system was expanded and changed as time went by. The people who were sent to jail were changed, and so did the Nazis’ reasons for imprisoning them. There were things, although that didn’t change. The camps were always run by the SS (short for SCHUTZSTAFFEL or security staff). The SS was a military unit that began as Hitler’s special bodyguard. People would always get sent to the camps without trial and for as long as the Security Staff wanted them there, they would stay there. Conditions in the camp were always brutal. People were treated with Brutality. There were three types of camps, Concentration camps, Labor camps, and Death camps.
I think that it might have been a good idea that they had a different camp for everything they had. Like they had the death camp separate from the labor camp, they also had the concentration camps separate which I think was a good choice, although I don’t agree with what they did.
The reaction of her school friends left a Jewish student in no doubt that her life had changed. Her experience was not unique in Hitler’s Germany. Nobodies life will ever be the same in the Holocaust. Any little thing the Jews did they would get punished or even death. The Germans saw the Jews as dangerous. They also tried a lot to let other people know about it. 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.
The book I’m reading for this morning is called “prelude to the holocaust” the section that I'm reading from this book is called Hating Jews. One of the things that the Nazis did has to make people look at the Jews ass if they were not human beings. That’s why they made propagandas of them as anti-Semitic. They will always talk about the Jews to try people look at them as trash and that they were not worded for anything. Bruno Hahnel talk on the television about how he new two cousins that were Jews and still make anti-Jewish. They made a thing that talk about how the Jew was a human being they will talk a lot of stuff and at the end they will say that they say all this because they were talking about someone that was just Jew. Their a picture of a men that is German that is making propaganda of the Jews that they don’t work that much for their country.
Killing with kindness the soldiers who first arrived at the camps often handed over all of the food they had with them to the starving prisoners. It was a natural selection. Unfortunately, this food is good prisoners where not use to it. At best, the prisoners were killed because the food gave them bad stomach upsets. At best, the prisoners ate the food quickly and died. The british army that liberated belsen sent out notes on taking over a concentration camp warning others of the problems they would fade and the mistakes to avoid.
