The Holocaust was one of the most terrible times in history. During the Holocaust, 6 million Jews were killed, from very young to very old. Stan Wells was a British prisoner of war, captured by Nazi Germany. Along with his buddies, he made correct choices when he chose to hide a 16-year-old girl rather than turn her in to die. I believe that Stan Wells made correct choices during the Holocaust for many reasons.

When looking at the Holocaust, most people agree that it was atrocious and one of the worst marks on the history of our planet. However, what they don’t realize is why people did not help those in need. As it turns out, there were valid reasons why change did not occur. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, these thoughts are explored as the main character, Liesel, learns about her country. Liesel and her foster family take in a Jew, something that shows their allegiance with the anti-Hitler cause.

I want to live. A person has to hold on to his own will, hold on to that to the last minute.” By doing this report on Solomon Radasky, I’ve learned that I should be grateful for the life I have today. Many Holocaust survivors, like Solomon Radasky, have lost their lives to the Nazis and died trying to live each day during the Holocaust. Solomon Radasky cared about surviving in the camps because he wanted to survive, even though it seemed impossible for others.

Throughout Wiesenthal’s journey at the concentration camps, he became very overwhelmed with the amount of death and labor that he witnessed. Simon Wiesenthal was

He helped shelter over 1,200 Jews during the Nazi’s rule in WWII. Oskar Schindler wanted to help these Jews so much that he, “...spent millions to protect and save his Jews, everything he possessed. He died penniless” (“Oskar Schindler”). The humanity and

World War Two, a time not only of tragedy and death, but also a time of courage and strength. During World War Two, many monstrous deeds were committed. One such act was the Final Solution, which was a plan decreeing that all Jews in Europe were to be executed; this plan lead to the deaths of about six million Jews, almost two thirds of the entire Jewish population in Europe. Although many evil things occurred during the Holocaust, people must never forget the bravery and valor that was shown during those times. Of course, everyone knows about the armies who fought during World War Two, but they’re not the only people who showed courage during World War Two.

The Holocaust was the largest genocide to ever occur. An entire population was discriminated against, dehumanized, and then murdered by the millions for their religious faith, handicaps, sexuality or nationality with little to no interference from the rest of the world. Today we can only imagine what it was like to live through it. As a fifteen-year-old Jewish boy in 2018, these events are unimaginable, but for Eliezer Wiesel who was also a fifteen-year-old Jewish boy during World War II, it was his reality.

Stand Up For Injustice: Elie Wiesel and The Perils of Indifference The Holocaust was a time that will forever be marked in history as a tragedy for mankind. Whether someone was a prisoner, a Nazi, or a bystander, every person was affected in some way. Because the Holocaust took place so long ago, many people forget how it could have destroyed an entire race of people. They forget that millions of innocent lives were taken because of hate.

His other business background was in Poland with factories, his association with the Nazi Party, and the German military intelligence agency. By using his expertise as a great businessman, he created a safe shelter for Jews and he protected them by employing them into his factory. Although he had to struggle with his inner ego to let some of his desires go, he was a greater benefit to the Jewish because of what he had done. Oskar Schindler once said, “I was now resolved to do everything in my power to defeat the system.” His epiphany of the reality of the Holocaust created a life goal for him to save as many Jews as he could no matter what the cost.

The Holocaust is one of the most memorable moments of our time and juxtaposes into the mist of this tragedy was Oskar Schindler. A hero is considered to be someone who in the face of danger puts themselves before others, and that is exactly what Schindler did. Many thought him to be a horrible man, but he saved thousands of Jews in the time of despair. Schindler’s lying, cheating, and bribing gave many people hope (Roberts 95). Oskar Schindler proves to be one of the most righteous humans through his early life, his life during the Holocaust, and his life after the Holocaust.

Example, risking his life and putting everything he worked for in jeopardy. As the Holocaust was a period in time, full of unimaginable terrors. All because he knew it was the right thing to do. Many

People Who Helped in Hidden Ways Topic: Germans that helped Jews during World War II Working thesis statement: Helping Jews was very dangerous in Nazi Germany during World War Two because of Hitler’s bigoted nationalism, yet numerous Germans civilians and soldiers assisted a Jew in some way during the time of war. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Liesel’s fictitious family and friends help Jews in the same ways that real life Germans helped Jews to hide and escape during World War II. Rolling Introduction Introduction Paragraph #1 Introduction Paragraph #2 Religious intolerance and persecution of Jewish people was common in Nazi Germany; however, there were some Germans that helped Jews despite the dangers. Some brave German soldiers and

He felt it was important to relay the lessons he learned, so that others will not have to go through the same hardship, in the future. This reflects Moishe the Beadle’s struggles “Infants were tossed into the air and used as targets for the machine guns” (Wiesel, 6). These monstrous events are the result of not acting because they felt no personal connection. This resulted in not bearing witness, and the massive loss of life during The Holocaust. Making the choice to bear witness needs to be made before it is too late.

The Holocaust was one of the most devastating times for all of the world. It strained the world’s economy and resources; death tolls were tremendously high and injuries were severe. This was one of the worst events in our world’s history. For the 12 years that Germany was ruled by the Nazi Party, a central belief was that there existed in society, certain people who were dangerous and needed to be eliminated for German society to flourish and survive (Impact of the Holocaust).

“The Dream... And everyone in Plaszow knew this, the dream of everyone in Plaszow was to find a way to work for Schindler…” Moshe Bejski (Vid). Oskar Schindler was an enigmatic figure during the Holocaust, originally motivated by greed, the industrialist had a miraculous change of heart during the Second World War. Although Schindler’s motivations can be disputed, his impact on the Jews whose lives he saved can not. One of the Jews Schindler rescued was Moshe Bejski, a young man just nineteen years of age when the war started.
