My paper is going to be about the Holocaust and Magda Brown. I am going to talk about the Holocaust first and what it is. The Holocaust was a time when the German did not like the jewish people. They would lock Jewish people up and take them to camps and make them their slaves. This whole thing started with Hitler who did not like the jewish. That is a summary of what the Holocaust was and what it was like. Now about Magda Brown and who she is. Know Magda Brown is a jewish woman who survived the Holocaust. She had horrible things happen to her and she still survived. ( Magda's Story and Rice, Earle.) Now a little about the Holocaust is that it had 121 laws passed. This was just to make life difficult for the German Jews. Know their was also something called the Nuremberg laws. This is where it made Jews no longer German citizens. After that they picked up 17,000 - 18,000 jews, and dropped them off at the …show more content…
Magda Brown was born on June 11, 1927 and was born in Miskolc Hungary. She was the youngest in the family by 2. When Magda was among 14,000. At that point they were placed in a transition camp in Miskolc called the brickyard. Then on her 17th birthday her and 80 people including her family were sent into a boxcar, with no food or water. After the boxcar got to its destination it was the last time she saw her parents. After that Magda got placed everywhere. Eventually she escaped and was free. After the war she found her aunt and uncle. She also found 2 cousins. Her Aunt and uncle took her in. At that point she went to high school for 1 semester but left because she couldn't handle the stress. After trying high school she got a job offer as a receptionist. Soon after that she got a degree as a certified medical assistant. She then got married to Robert Brown, and had a daughter and son. She soon found her brother Milkos after 20 years. She is now also a grandma of 5 and a proud grandmother. ( Magda's Story
Throughout our history we have had many tragic events and some of these events caused a very large amount of people to die or be mistreated. There were lots of people letting these acts be permitted because of their ignorance and pure hatred. The act of genocide and the extermination of groups of people happened because people were not speaking up against intolerance, hatred and propaganda. During the holocaust 6.3 million Jews died because of Greed,Hate,Silent Majority,and Propaganda, leading to genocide.
The Salem witch hunt is similar to the holocaust in many ways. Both have events that resemble each other. The holocaust started in 1933 and the Salem witch hunts started in 1692. According to history.com The holocaust started in 1933 when the nazi party took over in Germany.
Holocaust The website " The Holocaust; Facts and Figures" says how approximately 6 million Jews were killed during the holocaust and about 1.1 million Jews were Killed too. Hitler was the leader of the Germans. Hitler would tell the Germans to kill the Jews, they attacked Jews because the Nazis considered them a race, also because they thought Jews were the cause of losing world war I. The Nazis also wanted some land so they thought that by getting rid of the Jews they would be able to keep their land.
Stefania Podgorska The holocaust was a time of tragedy that probably felt as if it lasted a lifetime for the people who suffered terribly. It was very nice to find that some people were kind enough to want to help the people in need even if it meant risking their own lives. I did my research on Stefania Podgorska and as I give you some facts about her, her life, and what occurred you will find that she impacted the lives of many in a great way.
Most of you might not know. who Magda Brown is but she is a Holocaust survivor. Some of you might not know what the Holocaust is but let me explain. it is the time between 1933 to 1945 when Adolf Hitler killed at least 6 million jews. Their were so many laws passed to make life harder for jews.
There is no doubt about the fact that the Holocaust was a horrible time, but just how bad was life in the case of Jewish men, women, and even children. Life as they knew it changed forever during World War II. They were treated as extremely low class citizens. Just being alive was torture to them as the Nazis made their lives and every aspect of them into a living nightmare. Almost every situation relates back to the basics of life food, money, and a job.
The Holocaust was the mass genocide of mainly Jewish people and the “undesirables”. The jewish people were dehumanized by the Nazis. All of the people that were persecuted in the mass genocide were either placed into death camps, work camps, or the ghetto when waiting to get to a death camp or work camp. Though the Nazis were trained to be ruthless killing machines, some were kind at heart and helped some of the jewish people survive. “She pinned a lie to the lips of all those who said they had no choice”, Gerda Weissman went through and saw all of the horrific actions of the nazis.
The Holocaust is the most significant historical event that I have studied so far. This tragic event took place during World War II and only very few survivors lived to share their shocking experiences. I have read a few of these survivor’s stories, such as Night, by Elie Wiesel and it has personally impacted me and influenced my thinking in various ways. The Holocaust was the greatest act of hate, violence, and anti-semitism.
Everyone who has learned about World War II should know about the Holocaust. The Holocaust was during the same period of World War II. “What is it called the Holocaust?” you may ask. The Holocaust originates from the Greek language and means “completely burnt offering to God.”
Holocaust Reflection: Hierarchy in Concentration Camps When I think of the Holocaust, I think of constant fear, horrible genocide of innocent people, and terrible living conditions. For twelve years, people were imprisoned for their faith, political views, or where their love lied. When learning about the terrible tragedy in middle school, I was under the impression that every person held prisoner in the concentration camps was treated the same, inhumane way. However, that assumption is completely false. While exploring the provided websites, I read things that I had already learned about the Holocaust in middle school.
The Holocaust started when Hitler gained power in Germany in 1941 and led the Nazis in a mass murder. One by one the Nazis tried to clear out the population of not only Jewish people, but also the mentally and physically disabled, gypsies, and homosexuals; more than 6 million people were killed. It was a time where you were told how you should act and what you should believe and if you chose to be different you were tortured and killed (Holocaust Encyclopedia). Significance:
Could you imagine being one of the many victims that were beaten, starved, and tortured to death in a concentration camp? The Holocaust was a genocide that took place in Germany, lasting 4 years. The leader was Adolf Hitler, who believed there was a ‘Jewish Problem’. This genocide took place from 1941-1945, in concentration camps surrounding Poland. The Nazi Party was founded in 1919 and shortly after, Hitler became the leader in 1921.
The holocaust took place during WWII. At this time the chancellor of Germany know as Adolf Hitler had ordered a crusade against the jewish race. In this time period over 6 million jewish people including men women and children. Families were stripped from their homes with nearly all of their possessions removed from them. After first entering the gates they weren't even allowed the cloths off their backs.
There are many events in history but Holocaust left a permanent scar on the face of history. The event soaked in blood and tears of innocent would be unforgettable. Holocaust also known as Shoah (in Hebrew) was a genocide that took lives of millions of people from different backgrounds. Approximately 1 million Gypises were killed, 1.5 million mentally and physically handicapped people were victims of T-4 program, but Jews where the primary victims and 6 million Jews died in holocaust (Neiwyk and Nicosia). The Holocaust took place between 1933-1945.
Jews were moved to the camps to either work or be killed (Veil 113). The Nazis also wanted to keep the children, but only twins because the Nazi scientist wanted to experiment on them (Veil 115). The Nazis had a plan called the System of Death where they told all the Jews that they were going to take showers and clean off and the Nazis took them to a medium sized room where they all stripped down getting ready for showers. The Nazis would then put some Zyklon B pellets into the chamber where it reacted with the oxygen in the air and turned into chlorine gas and all the Jews were dead in minutes. They then would force some other Jews to carry the bodies to the crematorium where the bodies would be
