  • Essay / The Holocaust and the Final Solution - 661

    The Holocaust was not only bad; it was horrible in every way. The final solution was to control people and scare them. More than eleven million people have died in Europe. The United States arrived later than it should have, but it kept the Axis powers from gaining too much control. However, my people, the Jewish people, will never forget the tragedy that doomed millions of lives. It was all started by a man named Adolf Hitler. Originally from Austria, he fought for Germany during the First World War. After Germany surrendered, Hitler was furious. He wanted Germany to live up to his vision of greatness. After an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the government, he entered politics. A few years later, he became chancellor of Germany. Hitler then passed a law stating that once the German president died, the chancellor would be in charge. A few days later, the president died, leaving Hitler as leader of Germany. The Nuremberg Laws followed soon after. Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other Slavs, communists, socialists, people with physical and mental disabilities, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals are just a few groups who have been intimidated by these laws. But the main victims were the Jews. Nothing could prepare them for the night called "The Night of Broken Glass." Businesses owned by anyone on the undesirable list have been ruined. Windows were broken, doors were hanging off their hinges and bodies were strewn everywhere. Later, these same people will no longer be able to own a business. For some, it was all they had left. Anyone on the undesirable list was sent to concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. Each one was worse than the next. The elderly and children were sent straight to the gas chambers as they were considered unpaper......not limited to: the Taliban, Al Quadea and other terrorist groups . Although the class was very interesting, I didn't learn anything new. Honestly, this was just a criticism. Being Jewish myself, I hear stories all the time about my grandfather who left Germany to start a new life with his younger brother and his parents. His grandmother, aunt, uncle and three cousins ​​they left behind were sent to concentration camps. They were never seen again. There was nothing left of them except a photo of my grandfather's cousins. Years later, he went to teach a course on the Holocaust in Germany. A student asked him: “Should we be proud to be German?” He said: "It was a different generation. It wasn't your fault." I appreciate your efforts to teach us about the Holocaust, but I have been taught about it for years. The Holocaust will haunt my family for generations to come.
