On January 30, 1930, the tragic holocaust started and many jews suffered. From men to women, and then children, have died in concentration camps because of who they are…..they are jews. There are three reasons how, jews suffered in concentration camps. First of all, jews were forced to strip naked, even girls! Yep, thats right, jews were to strip naked, so the germans could easily torture them without a struggle. The germans piled shoes, clothes, and everything in a pile, and on with the torture, pretty horrific right? Second of all, they burned and killed about 6 million jews. Mostly children faced the torture of the germans, from being whipped to being hanged. After the germans were done killing a limited supply of jews, they would put the dead body's in a pile and burn them. The germans would also right a diary, of what they done! Last of all, jews were given poor meals. Jews were given a black piece of bread that weighed 300 grams, to last them until the next morning. The jews were also given nasty sausage, and margarine but in very little portions. Mostly jews would starve to death, because they didn’t save their bread. Then, the germans would gather the body’s, and add them to the pile! This is how the jews suffered in concentration camps all together. …show more content…
The jews resisted when the green police came to take them away. they struggled, they fought back, and they begged for the green police to not take them to those camps. Second of all, the jews fought back. The jews would actually punch and kick at the officers, while they cry for their life. They would also try and hide, but the green police would eventually find them sooner. Last of all, the jews that were sent away, protested against Germany. They did riots and the "book burning" because of how many jews the germans killed each day. Thats how the jews responded to the

    The impressions of the Germans were reassuring, however, on the last day of the Passover, the Germans started their dehumanization operation. This started with the arrests of the leaders of the Jewish community then escalating quickly from not being able to leave their homes, to moving into confined ghettoes, and finally deportation. Even with this repression going on, the Jews remained optimistic thinking that they can create “A little Jewish republic” (Wiesel 9) and going to “work in the brick factories” (Wiesel 11). Though, these dreams shattered when they reach hell:…

    Throughout this class, and other history classes I have taken, there has always been little to no mention of women and the specific roles they have played in the Holocaust compared to the plethora of information about men. For this paper, I am going to compare three different stories about the experiences of women during the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Each woman comes from a different background faced varying degrees of misfortune and terror throughout their lives in Nazi Germany. The first woman, Ilse Landau, was a Jew who went into hiding during the war. Second is Marta Hessler, who was neither a Jew or a Nazi, just an ordinary German citizen who knew little about the mass murder.…

    The Holocaust was a time of pure evil and grief. From when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, lasting to the day the war ended in 1945, the Jewish population was taken from their homes, put to work, and faced with shocking living conditions. One of Hitler’s goals was to racially cleanse the society of Germany and areas in Poland to become a complete Aryan race. In 1933 the first concentration camp was established. These camps were used as either work camps, transit camps, or killing camps.…

    Many think that the concentration camps were the only obstacles people faced during the Holocaust; however, those were not the only obstacles. This horrific time in world history will never be forgotten because it was a genocide of mass proportions. The Holocaust was the systematic death of approximately 6 million Jewish people through no fault of their own other than their beliefs. There were many obstacles that the Jews faced, including the gas chambers, the cold winters, the traitorous Germans, and the language barriers with some of their saviors.…

    The Nazis would also try to make the Jewish people suffer. In my novel, the book describes the concentration camps as fences keeping the Jewish people from escaping. Also, in the camps, the Jews had no rights to fulfill anything. They had to follow the Nazis’ orders. During this point in history, the Nazis would try to get as many Jewish people into the camps, and because the camps had so many people, there wasn't a lot of room in the buildings that the Jewish people slept in.…

    In my opinion resistance is about death and nothing being ahead of them. Some Jewish people hid others went with legal and illegal emigration. Those who remained, struggled to obtain life's essentials by smuggling the food, clothing, and medicine necessary to survive. The Jewish people had no hope ahead of them so resistance was not going to work out for them. Most of the time, if escapees were found attempting to escape the camps there was a great risk for immediate retaliation by the Nazis from the greater population after an insurrection.…
