The Role Of The Jew In The Ghetto
Now I'm playing as a Nazi soldier. Today we are getting rid of every jew in the ghetto we start by getting every jew out of their houses the jews that didn't have the paper they needed were killed, some of the jews we kicked out of their houses did not have the paper so the orders was to kill them. We were about to kill a kid but his father tried to stop us we shot him and got the kid and killed him too for trying to run. By nightfall we know there's going to always be people hiding so we start looking in weird places, such as closets, pianos, under the floor, under beds and of course under the stairs. in the camp if there was any jew was not working they would get killed in the spot we already killed two, this makes the others work harder

    After Hitler’s announcement to annihilate the Jews and the Anti-Semitic attacks on the Jews of Budapest, “the race toward death had begun” (10). Restrictions were held upon the Jews. Under the pressure of death, Jews were forced to yield “gold, jewelry, or any valuables” (10) to the authorities. Then, the Germans created two ghettos in Sighet and encircled the Jews’ houses by “barbed wire” (11). Yet, they were optimistic. They thought it would…

    As the war kept going more and more Jews escaped the Warsaw Ghetto and needing a place to hide. Many people non-Jewish people didn't hide because if they got caught they would have been killed immediately. The Warsaw Ghetto is a area closed in by a wall that all Jews are held in. The atmosphere isn't healthy at all. People, mainly kids, are starving to death, homeless. In the Ghettos diseases are spreading, everyone is starving.…

    Early in the Holocaust, German army units participated in the massacre of the Jews in Eastern Europe. Among these, the Reserve Police Battalion 101 was made up of civilian police men, German men, and volunteers subject to the military draft. They were middle-aged working family men with a lower middle class background. Their main purpose was to be an essential source of manpower in holding down German-occupied Europe. In 1941, they were told that they had to perform a gruesome and undesirable task executing the Jewish population in the area they patrolled. My paper will be focusing on factors that lead up to how these “ordinary men” allow themselves to be a part of a systematic genocide. In trying to understand the factors that made these men’s crimes possible the factors that are central to their actions are several: peer pressure and conformity, the roles, the developing of a rationale for killing, and the environment they were in. Without these elements, the men of Police Battalion 101would not have become executioners.…

    I was sitting with my family at the breakfast table drinking milk and eating a piece of burnt toast; that was when I heard the feint sound of sirens coming from the east end of the block. My dads face grew pale and my mother quickly stood up and grabbed my brother and mines hand. She guided us towards the back of the house through a small opening in the floor. Once we reached the hole, she took my brothers hand and placed it in mine, telling him to watch over me. We were put into the hole and she kissed our heads, then covered the little light we had with a rug. I started to panic, unaware of the destruction and persecution that lay before me on a silver platter. We spent a week in that ditch, although it had felt like a lifetime. All the while, I thought of my parents: where had they gone; would they soon return? One day while we were there, with cramps building up in my legs, I heard footsteps coming from above my head. My brother hoping it was our parents returning to save us from the forever darkness that we faced slid the rug over and peered up with squinting eyes. The rough man standing above us, however, was not our father, but a man I would soon come to know as, Nazi soldier. The reasons of our taking were not because of crime, but because of my ethnicity, the way I looked, the way I spoke, and even my religion.…

    The Holocaust was one of the world’s greatest tragedies that was made possible by hatred, widespread anti-Semitism, and outright discrimination. It was the state-sponsored murder of six million Jews by Hitler and the Nazi party. In 1933, the Nazis came to power in Germany and they believed Jews were an inferior race, a threat to the superior Aryan community. Hitler also targeted other groups such as homosexuals, Gypsies, Poles, and the disabled because of their racial inferiority.…

    Night by Elie Wiesel

    The Nazi’s were ruthless executioners, although, when the Nazi’s first came to Sighet they were rather reassuring. They were housed in local homes and were welcomed into the Kahn’s, Elie’s neighbor, home. The Germans were seemingly polite and charming to their hosts, and, on some occasions, smiled at them. Then on the 7th day of Passover, the German’s turned on the Jews and arrested the Jewish leaders of their community. They forced the remaining people in the community to stay in their homes for three days. If they left, the penalty was death. Moishe the Beadle had warned the town’s people of this. He had told them stories about the horrors the Germans had committed, of being taken away into a forest and barely escaping death. Yet, when he came back to Sighet, no one believed him and disregarded his warnings. He had come running to Elie’s house and reminded them that he had warned them, and then left without a response. That same day, the Hungarian police burst unexpectedly into every Jewish home. They were told that Jewish people could no longer possess gold, jewelry, or any valuables. In the following days their merciless attacks on children, women, and the elderly fueled everyone’s anger. They were promptly forced to leave their ghetto to go to the small ghetto, and from there they were herded into cattle cars. There were at least 80 people per car, and the conditions of the cars…

    Brainwashed, heartless Nazis. Many believe these were the kind of men who were involved in the Holocaust, which makes it much easier to dismiss them and believe we could never become like them. However, this was not truly the case for many of those who participated in the Holocaust. These men were not brainwashed, and some were not even Nazis— they were simply ordinary men.…

    It was a crusty autumn morning in Munich, Nazi Germany, world war two was in its second year. The third Reich has occupied much of Europe and the Chinese and Japanese have been engaged in a virtually non-stop war and only has been intensifying after the Jap's had violated and exploited Nanjing and decapitated anybody that dares to oppose them. When they left; only corpses, pits of ash where the dead were burned, and the ruins of houses where people once lived in and all the women old and young were sold, I can't tell what they were sold for, but I can tell you, it was dark and inhumane. The young boys who were too young to fight were forced to work on rich farms if they dared argue or refuse off with their hands and then off with heads and…

    An Officer sorted us, one at a time, into two groups. One little girl clung to her mother, refusing to be separated from her. Reluctantly she let go, after being reassured that her mother would be fine, but the obvious smirk on the officer's face hinted that he was lying. When my turn came, my legs were almost too weak to hold me up. Using all my energy, I stood taller, trying to look stronger than I was. The Officer studied me for a minute, before sorting me into the group on his left. Once the Officer finished sorting everyone, he signalled for another Officer to take away the group on his right. Shaking with fear, we watched as the Officer took them towards an ominous looking section, called block 11. After a while another Officer came and took us in the opposite direction, away from the gunshots and screaming that would forever haunt my dreams. The Officer took us to a large courtyard, and made us stand to the side, watching as the other Jews made their way back from work. To my horror, I noticed people carrying dead bodies between them, struggling as they made their way forward. They all looked completely drained, their clothes hung loosely from their thin frames, and most looked as if they hadn't washed in…
