Holocaust Reflection: Hierarchy In Concentration Camps

The Truth About Many Jews Ellie Wiesel once said, “Without Passion, without haste.” The people in this true story were all treated like they were so much less than everyone else in the world. None of them had names that they went by anymore they just went by being called stupid Jews by the people who ran the camps. The things that had happened to these people were so unbelieveable. Millions of Jews were forced to cut their hair and were compared to dogs, or even sometimes called dogs.

They treat inmates like tools to survive and nothing more. Additionally, it is not only the Nazis that dehumanize the Jews, so did the people of Germany. On the train trip to Buchenwald, German workers stop to throw bread into the the cart, as the

The holocaust was not just about the slaughtering of jews is about riding the world of its imperfections. According to Hitler these “imperfections” included being jewish, having anything but blonde hair and blue eyes, being handicapped mentally or physically, or being homosexual. During the holocaust jews human natural rights were violated in several different ways. There is a document that states all of the human rights. You would think that people are able to use their common sense to be able to determine that

Gavin Arbic Mrs.Onstad AP Language and Composition 16 December 2022 Night The Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of Jewish people. Jewish people were forced into labor camps and forced to work for the Nazi army. When they arrived at the camps, they were separated from their families.

From beatings to running for your life, Nazi’s would always perform the act of corruption on prisoners as if they were animals. Men and women prisoners were horribly traumatized by abuse and forced labor that led many to death in camps. Prisoners were negatively affected by the forced labor forced upon them in camps. Both men and women had to work for their lives.

During the Holocaust, prisoners were dehumanized and weren’t seen as the people they were, they were recognized as numbers and any form of identity they previously knew was stripped from

Schindler’s List displays this by showing how the Jews were sent to forced labour camps such as the Plaszow. When they arrived to these labour and concentration camps, they were separated by gender as told “men to the left, women to the right”, this separated families causing more effective discomfort to the Jews. In the labour camps, many Jews were shot often resulting in death because they were not working to the satisfaction of the Nazis or SS officers who were in charge of that labour camp. If any Jews were seen as unhealthy they were sent to death camps. During this stage of the holocaust many Jews were

Living inside a concentration camp came with meager rations of bread and poor soup that could barely sustain a person, and terrible treatment from both guards and other prisoners alike. These conditions changed people, drastically, as show from exerts of Night. “My faceless neighbor spoke up: “Don’t be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve”” (Wiesel 76 )

Being held guarded during the Holocaust caused suffrage and deaths. During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities also targeted other groups because of their perceived “racial inferiority”. People were also imprisoned, enslaved, and murdered. These people included Roma, those with mental or physical disabilities, and homosexuals. The Holocaust was

In many ways, Nazis had physically, mentally, and emotionally dehumanized their victims. The Jews were treated so badly by the Nazis that they felt as if they weren’t even humans; they felt like animals. For example, the Jewish prisoners were always being yelled at with harsh tones. Eliezer only remembers one time when a Polish

Throughout this study of the Holocaust I 've learned many things. A few things I have learned during study is who Adolf Hitler is, how hard the Jews had life during the 1930s and '40s, and I even learned a few Jewish traditions. Niemoller 's quote applies to what happened during the 1930s and '40s because people were frightened of the Germans, so they didn 't try to speak out against the Germams because they were

Conformity and group mentality are major aspects of social influence that have governed some of the most notorious events and experiments in history. The Holocaust is a shocking example of group mentality, or groupthink, which states that all members of the group must support the group’s decisions strongly, and all evidence leading to the contrary must be ignored. Social norms are an example of conformity on a smaller scale, such as tipping your waiter or waitress, saying please and thank you, and getting a job and becoming a productive member of society. Our society hinges on an individual’s inherent need to belong and focuses on manipulating that need in order to create compliant members of society by using the ‘majority rules’ concept. This

Imagine being woken up at sunrise every morning to the sound of an excruciatingly loud bell and people already yelling at you, screaming at you, beating you, and treating you like you are a piece of garbage. During the holocaust millions of Jews and thousands of other people in concentration camps had to deal with that kind of torture every day. The Holocaust impacted the whole world by being one of the worst periods of time to date, ruining millions of people's lives due to the starvation, time spent in the camps, and the brutal living conditions they had to deal with. To begin with, the time spent in the concentration for some people was incredible. In some cases, people would spend 2 to 3 years in a concentration camp, but for those few unlucky souls, they could spend up to 12 YEARS in an array of concentration camps.

Everyone has a hatred towards something or someone and that is perfectly normal. When you have a hatred towards something that someone can't change about themselves, you should probably keep it to yourself. When you express your emotion of hatred to a person about something that they have to live with or something they enjoy, it can really get to that person. You can make that person feel unwanted. You can make them feel like they can't go anywhere or do anything without being judged.
