...Oskar Schindler was portrayed as an extremely dynamic character throughout the movie, since his identity was subject to many drastic changes. In the beginning of the story, we were introduced to a dark and despicable man. A rich business tycoon who was identified for his multiple affairs, as well as his active participation in the Nazi party. Even though he did not follow the ideologies of the fascist group and joined solely for the purpose of gaining riches, he still provided aids to the Germany Army through his numerous factories and businesses. This made him simply a bad man in the eyes of the audience from the start. However, as Schindler was more exposed to the horrors truly being committed against the jewish people, he was characterized as a completely different human. This was kickstarted when he was advised by Itzhak Stern, his accountant, to hire Jews as workers for his factory. Oskar agreed to do so only because he would be paying them far less than Pole...

...Resistance During the Holocaust During the Holocaust, Hitler and the Nazis showed the worst of humanity through the purge of 11 million people. Even though most of Europe stood by and watched the massacre some people were brave enough to defy Hitler and his plan for a final solution. Some jews, non-jews, and nazi party members risked their lives to stop the creation of Hitler’s utopia. Jews resisted the Nazis’ torment, but they did not resist their urge to fight back. Some did so in a more peaceful manner. Anne Frank, her family, and two other families, went into hiding for two years before being found and shipped to their deaths at various concentration camps. Jews in concentration camps could only do as much as nail a sign backwards and refused to lose their will to go on . Others forged documents saying they were Christians or fled the country. But some, took a more violent approach. As Jenny Misuchin, a Jewish resistance fighter said, “We must pay back blood for blood.” The Jewish resistance fighters did all they could to sabotage the SS. This included derailing troop trains, cutting communication wires, and blowing up bridges. Others revolted, such as the Jews in Warsaw did. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a very...

...| How and why did the Nazi treatment of Jews change between the years 1933 and 1945? | Curran De Braganca | How and why did the Nazi treatment of Jews change between the years 1933 and 1945? Most of us have heard of the Nazi party’s horrific, genocidal regime on destroying the Jewish race, but what events led up to their dire judgement? In this study I aim to uncover the events, reasons and changes which led to the Holocaust and the further changes in the treatment of the Jewish race by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. In the aftermath of the First World War, Germany is under the Judgment of the Allies as a result of Allied victory Germany is being blamed for most of the war, The Treaty of Versailles stated that they: * Are to pay compensation to the Allies: £6.6 Million, which was well over Germany’s financial capacity at the time. * Portions of Germany’s land has been claimed and will distributed under Allied power to form new nations and also will be given to allied nations who lost land during the war. * Germany’s army will be reduced to only 100,000 men plus their naval vessels have been limited to 6 capital ships. The west of Rhineland had been Demilitarised and occupied by Allied forces. * Germany was not allowed to join with Austria to boost its economy. These were only just a few of the terms of the treaty. In Germany, many people were ‘pointing fingers’ and putting the blame on others, one group of people however, is taking...

...Fascism in Germany The Holocaust was the mass murder or genocide of Jewish people, homosexuals, gypsies, blacks, and other minority groups. When the Holocaust is brought up, the most common question I’ve heard is “how did the German people get away with this, and why did anyone support them?” By the time the holocaust took place, a precedent to anti-Semitism was already historically present. In the late 19th century and early 20th century there was a strong presence of social Darwinism and a eugenicist world view, which declared certain types of people to be biologically better than other inferior groups. After the great depression hit Germany, it led to the idea of euthanizing the mentally ill, or physically disabled to save costs across the country. This opened the idea of euthanasia as a way to solve any problems with unwanted or undesirable people. By the time the Nazi party came to power the idea to preserve the valuable people, and rid the world of undesirable people was already common among society. Hitler was very open about his hatred for the Jewish people, but was careful to proceed slowly while introducing the hatred to fellow members of the Third Reich and other German citizens. It started with limits for the Jewish people, such as careers they could have, places they could go, assets they could have or obtain etc… Then the introduction of the Jewish Ghetto’s took place, to separate the unwanted people from the non-Jewish Germans. Several families would be forced...

Along with his consigliore, or adviser, Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), Corleone is listening to a line of people requesting favors on the day of his daughter’s wedding.
