...To what extent were the German public active participants in the persecution of the Jewish population during the Holocaust? Throughout the timeframe of the holocaust, people wanted to know if Germans were active participants throughout the holocaust. Most of the old Germans currently admit that they knew about the holocaust. Most did not want to know about it even after the war. Living life form in Denmark and Bulgaria could of effectively stand against the Nazis. People tried in Germany however it was not enough. In Germany back in the time of the Holocaust many of the Germans were not expecting such a horrifying event, in fact they thought it was going to be good as Adolf Hitler claimed that he was going to make Germany great again.

...The Holocaust was a state sponsored systematic genocide in world history that happened during World War II. About 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust, 6 million being the main target: Jews. Also, pretty much anyone who wasn't 100% German blood was also killed because they were perceived as "racial inferiority" so Polish people, Soviet prisoners of war, Blacks, Jehovah witness, the handicapped, homosexuals, etc. In 1933, there was about 9 million Jews, and 2 out of every 3 Jews were killed. Killing them was part of the "Final Solution", the plan to annihilate all Jewish people. In the 1930's Germany's conditions were not the best. The economic depression hit the country very hard, and lots of people became unemployed...

...ANNE FRANK “CHILD OF THE HOLOCAUST” Through the eyes of one adolescent girl, this book depicts the feelings of many Jewish people whose lives were forever changed by the Nazi Invasion in the 1940’s during World War II. The Holocaust was an atrocious time in Europe when approximately 6 million Jews were tortured, beaten and murdered as a result of their religion. During this era, the Jewish people were taken to concentration camps and were gassed or burnt to death. For many people, Anne Frank became a symbol of those six million Jewish men, women and especially the children who were murdered by the Nazis as these tragic events unfolded. It is almost impossible to comprehend this number, but the story of Anne Frank makes it possible to understand what the war meant for one of these victims. For my book report, I chose to focus on a life of a young girl named Anne Frank. Anne was a German Jewish girl whose family fled the Nazi Persecution of Jews in Germany in the 1930's, settling in what they hoped was the safety of Amsterdam, Holland. When the Nazis invaded Holland in 1940, the terror returned and the Franks went into hiding in a Secret Annex, hidden rooms at the back of Otto Frank's (father) business premises in Amsterdam. Most books about famous people only tell the reader about what the person was like as a child, to help explain what they were like as a grown up. But Anne’s diary is all about her childhood because she never had a chance to grow up. Very few...

...On April 11, 1945, American forces, including Harry, freed Buchenwald which in total had held over 238,000 people over its existence of a span of eight years. The death toll was calculated to be around 43,000 or more. Throughout his testimony, including his tales of bonding with the boy, he uses language that conveys his feelings during his experience, for example: pity. He expressed that he felt sorry he had to see the victims but was not able to do anything- and it truly leaves an impact on the reader- showing an unfamiliar perspective from a soldier on the Holocaust. After the Holocaust, most Jews had problems such as having no home, money, or family where they could safely return to, and so this meant they had to live at Displaced Persons. camp. The sand is a sand. At first, these camps did not have the best conditions, but they progressed as more political leaders inspected and invested in these...

...The Accounts of a young German Girl (June 1935- August 1935) My name is Eleanor Wagner, I grew up in Hamburg, Germany. I recall being friends with all the neighborhood children. I was about nine or ten years of age as were most of my friends. There was one girl in particular who I considered to be a very dear friend to me. Her name was Helena Koch. Her family was very tight knit and consisted of her mother, father, and two younger siblings, a brother and sister. Our parents were friends as well and worked closely in a business not far from home. As innocent children we saw no differences in one another, and soon that would all change. I was of German decent and Helena was a German-Jew. An order came into effect that month of June 1935, which ordered all Jews out of their homes and forced into a poor neighborhood not very far from our own and was known as the “Ghettos.” At this time I was too young to understand why my friend Helena had to leave with her family. We were happy and they did no wrong. I remembering trying to visit Helena in her new home but it was closed off from everyone else. There were so many people in this small neighborhood and it reminded me of a sardine can. I can only imagine how they felt. My mother did not know what was going on either and fumbled for answers when I would bombard her with questions of Helena and her family. She would just tell me “maybe it is just temporary, and at least her family is together.” I think she wanted to keep the hope...

...Andrea Cohen October 4th, 2012 Professor Marcel Nazi era- Companies that Help in the Holocaust Throughout history, there have been important events that have distinct a particular ethical issue within various companies. One of these horrific events was the Holocaust, which is defined by Michell R Marrus as “the systematic mass murder of European Jewry by the Nazis”, which “sits uneasily in the history of our time” (Marrus, 1987). To many people the Holocaust is still a source of remorse. Consequently they feel embarrassed, since many were apathetic towards the people suffering, but many also believe that historical investigations can bring about additional insight regarding companies and their commitments. The Holocaust is a part of the history that produces an uncomfortable sensation because of the horrible that happened in this era. As Nora Levin stated, it is not only the magnitude of the destruction- the murder of six million Jews- but because the events surrounding are in a very real sense incomprehensible. No one can understand how mass murder in such a scale could have happened or could have been allowed to happen. The purpose of this paper is not to talk about the Holocaust, however, to create a profound analysis of the German automobile companies that helped the Nazis to perform and gain profits from this holocaust of innocent people. Examples of these companies are the Ford Company, BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke), Daimler Benz, and Volkswagen. From 1930-1945...

...One cannot fathom the difficulty a young girl would face growing up during a time of war and chaos. In the autobiographies Persepolis and The Dairy of a Young Girl, the reader is shown that both main characters Marjane Satrapi and Anne Frank lived similar yet different lives.

Anne, born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt Germany, shares her personal experiences and first-hand encounters during World War II in her novel. Anne along with her upper-middle-class family; which included her mother Edith, father Otto and sister Margot, fled Nazi persecution of Jews and went into hiding for two years. Her...

...BOOK REPORT Title : The Diary of a Young Girl Author: Anne Frank * Annelies "Anne" Marie Frank (12 June 1929 – early March 1945) was one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her diary has been the basis for several plays and films. Born in the city of Frankfurt am Main in Weimar Germany, she lived most of her life in or near Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Born a German national, Frank lost her citizenship in 1941 when Nazi Germany passed the anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws. She gained international fame posthumously after her diary was published. It documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. The Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam in 1933, the year the Nazis gained control over Germany. By the beginning of 1940, they were trapped in Amsterdam by the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. As persecutions of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in the hidden rooms of Anne's father, Otto Frank's, office building. After two years, the group was betrayed and transported to concentration camps. Anne Frank and her sister, Margot, were eventually transferred to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they both died of typhus in March 1945. Otto Frank, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that Anne's diary had been saved, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. It was translated from its original Dutch and first...

U.S./Israel-Palestine Notes Preface to the First Edition (1986) St. Augustine tells the story of a pirate captured by Alexander the Great, who asked him "how he dares molest the sea." "How dare you molest the whole world?" the pirate replied: "Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor." The pirate's answer was "elegant and excellent," St. Augustine relates. It captures with some accuracy the current relations between the United States and various minor actors on the stage of international terrorism: Libya, factions of the PLO, and others. More generally, St. Augustine's tale illuminates the meaning of the concept of international terrorism in contemporary Western usage, and reaches to the heart of the frenzy over selected incidents of terrorism currently being orchestrated, with supreme cynicism, as a cover for Western violence. The term "terrorism" came into use at the end of the eighteenth century, primarily to refer to violent acts of governments designed to ensure popular submission. That concept plainly is of little benefit to the practitioners of state terrorism...
