Essay / Horrible Events of World War II: The Holocaust
The Holocaust, Genocide, The Final Solution or World War II; no matter what you call it, nothing can make the horrible events that happened less terrible. From 1939 to 1945, a war raged between the Allies and the Axis powers. The Allies consisted of the United States of America, led by President Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, the Soviet Union, led by Joseph Stalin, and Great Britain, led by Winston Churchill. The Allies were attempting to defeat the Axis powers consisting of Germany, led by the odious dictator Adolf Hitler, Italy, led by Benito Mussolini, and Japan, led by Hideki Tojo. The war caused many casualties, many of them civilians who had to take part in the conflict. The events that occurred will be remembered forever in texts, images and in the minds of those who experienced them. Who would have thought that a young Austrian boy would end up becoming one of the most evil and evil people in history. Adolf Hiter grew up loving art, using his talents to paint marvelous masterpieces, but he was later refused admission to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, the school of his dreams. Forced by his strict parents, he joined the German forces to fight in World War I. He was wounded several times in combat and hospitalized after being blinded by tear gas. When Germany abandoned the war, Hitler, still blinded, became angry and felt betrayed by the country for which he risked his life. Once he regained the ability to see, he set his sights on returning Germany to the top of the food chain. Hitler, determined, entered politics, believing that he could eventually rise through the ranks and rise to power. Slowly but surely, Adolf began to gain power within the German government. But, in 1924, he would then be sent to Lansburg Prison for eight months...... middle of paper...... as a prisoner. When in the death camps, you need dust coming out of a chimney, what the dust is is the ashes of all these poor cremated people. As you can see, the events of World War II are absolutely horrific. This is why we must study, remember, but never forget. We want to remember those who sacrificed their lives so that we could live normally and be free. The soldiers fought so we didn't have to. Let us hope that generations to come will live the same life we live today, safe and free. We are learning to ensure that, whatever happens, the events of 1937 to 1945 will never happen again. Forget it, we can't, but we will learn from it. The forty-seven million people who lost their lives will never be forgotten. The war affected everyone's mind, lifestyle and morality. This period will forever live in infamy.
