Give two examples that stuck out you as most vivid.** The events that took place that i thought that was most vivid and stood out to me was on the first night for Elie Wiesel at the Concentration camp, when his group of people that Elie and his father were in were working towards the crematoria. They all believed there were about to be burned alive, they thought they were going to die. They were even comtempt with their fate. They were so blown away from fatigue espcially Elie he couldnt and didnt even cry. He didnt want to pray to god, but he did anyway. Not to plea to god to save them just to pray for after death. This stood out to be beacause they all believed they were going to die, they were faced with death from so early oon. Its cruel it messed with their mind. When they turned away ansd hesded to there camp less then a meter away from the crematoria they were releived, shocked and just didnt know what to think any more. Another event that stood out to me is when the boy got hung in front of every one and he just hang there for a while, he had to die slowly which was more pain ful as he justhang in there,, hanging between life and death. He didnt weigh enough to weigh down the rope straight away. How could the SS officers be so cruel and not fase them killing people everyday, killing innocent children, teen agers and adults. They did nothing wrong yet they were being killed just because of their race.This really disturbed me.

From the very start the Jew's start acting out of the ordinary. They start behaving exacty like the Nazi's. The start to dehumanize each other. It all begun when they were travelling on the train and the "Crazy" women keeps screaming and yelling about how she see's fire. No one believes her. She continues to scream, 'FIRE, FIRE". People, the Jew's being started to beat her, the continued until she stopped screaming. This showed how messed up the Jew's must of been feeling to be able to beat some one who once would of been considered a friend, whilst her son watched. The Jew's kept dehumanizing each other by stealing rations of food from eachother, trampling over one another if they fall during marches. They simply did not care about eachother, not there friends, not there neighbours not even their family. It got worse, one boy left, abanded his father, as he's father was week and stopped him from going further. So they boy took off and left his father behind. Who could possibly do that? He did because in those conditions you only had your self to look after you.
 * Why do the prisoners themselves become animalistic and how do they show it?**

WORLD WAR TWO: World War II was a global military conflict, the joining of initially two seperate conflicts. The first part of the war begun in Asia in 1937 (the second Sino-Japenese War) and the other begun in Europe in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland.

**//World War II ended in late April/Early May in 1945 in Europe when// Germany and Japan (the 'Axis' forces) conceded defeat in the war and surrendered to the Allied forces, with the Japanese doing so later in the year - on September 2nd.**

The most significant countries that had a huge impact on the second world war were on oposing sides. The two main groups were the Allies and the Axis. Allies: Soviet Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Brazil and France, Poland, the USA, India and China. Axis: Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia


 * The Group of countries called the Allies in the second world war were the countries that were fighting agaisnt he Axis powers. The main counties were British Empire,** **the** **Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States of America** **as they were known as "The Big Three" and also China** **was known as the "Four Policemen****".**



The Nazi Party, officially known as National Socialist German Workers Party (NSGWP ), was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. The Partys Leader was Adolf Hitler. In 1933 president Paul Von Hindeburg appointed Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Hitler then exercised the control over the freedom, will and thoughts of others known as the Third Reich.
 * The Third Reich is the common English names for Germany under the control of Hitler and the NSGWP which existed from 1933 to 1945**.

Adolf Hitler was born 20/4/1889, he was an Australian-born German politician. Hitler was a veteran of World War 2 who achieved leadership of the Nazi Party in Weimar Germany. Following his imprisonment, he gained support by exploiting nationalism, antisemitism and anti-communism. Hitler surprisingly thought that anyone with Blue eyes and Blonde hair were superior, even though he did not look like that. During the final days of the war in 1945, when Berlin was being invaded and destroyed by the Red Army, Hitler married Eva Bruun. Less than 24 hours later, the two commited suicide.

**
 * Hitler believed that the Jews, Slavs, Roma and Homosexuals along with Jehovah's Witnesses and the mentally or physically disabled, socialists and communits are "Life unworthy of Life". When Hitler carried out these beliefs, the party and the German state which it controlled organised the murder of approximatly six million Jews, and about five million other people, manly Russians, Poles and Roma.

The Aims of the Nazi's were to get rid of the jewish, disabled and mixed race and persuade the people of germany to start to think his views on this were right. Hitler thought the jews were taking all the money out of germany and needed to be gone.


 * The Holocaust means the death of a large group of people also death by burning by fire, because innocent dead and alive people were put into crematoriums. Also many people were shot, beaten, or starved to death, and then burned.**

The Halocaust comes from a Greek word which means completely burnt. Halocaust is the term to descrive the genocide of approx 6 million Jews during World War II as apart of the delibrate extermination party that was executed by NSGWP led by Hitler. The Halocaust involved transporting Jews into Ghettos, transfering them to concentration camps, starving them ( in some cases till death), shotting people and burning Jews.


 * __Ghetto__'s during World War II were established by the Nazi's to confine Jews into confined areas of the cities of Eastern Europe. The __Ghettos's__ was the first step to the halocaust, but before Jews got there they had to stay at __Ghetto's,__ then waitr to be transferred to concentration camps, then to be killed, Halocaust.**

**GENOCIDE** is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Hitler believed and wanted to exterminate all the Jews, Slavs, Roma’s, homosexuals and all physically or mentally disabled people.

__**Kristallnacht**__ **was the Nazi's organised persecution conducted against Jews between 9-10 November 1938. The Nazi's placewd attack on the Jewish people and destroyed all their prooperty. One one single night, 91 Jews were murdered, and 25,000-30,000 were arrested and taken to concentration camps.**

The many killings of the Jew's occured even before the "Final Solution" was implemented in 1942. In January 1942 there was a conference meeting held by a griup of German Nazi officials to decided on the **"Final Solution of the Jewish Question**". It was then that it was decided that concentration camps need to be built to execute each and every Jew.
 * __The Final Solution__** refers to Hitlers plan to kill all the Jews, Slavs, Roma, Homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses and the mentally or physically disabled socialists and communits which resulted in the deadliest and biggest Holocaust which happened in World War II. Hitler termed it: "the solution of the Jewish Question in Europe."

Concentration camps were camps designed to make all the prisoners work, rather then to kill them all, although most of the prisoners eventually died from execution, starvation, disease or exhaustion. In Germany before 1939, only Jew and politcial enimies of the Nazi regime were housed at these camps. The German camps in occupied Poland during World War II were built by Nazi Germany during its occupation of Poland 1939-1945. A system of camps of various kinds was established across the entire country
 * __Concentration Camps__**


 * The main extermination/death camps were located at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, Treblinka and Warsaw,**

There were a number of concentration camps in Poland. They housed Jews, partly as transit points to the extermination camps, and partly so that the Jews could be worked to death. Large numbers of non-Jewish Poles were also imprisoned in these camps, as were various prisoners from other countries.


 * In these concentration camps, millions of prisoners died through mistreatment, disease, starvation****, and overwork, or were executed as unfit for labour; though they were not extermination and/or death camps** **which were established in 1942. Death camps were established for the main goal of Hitler the "Final Solution" which meant for all the Jews to be killed.**

People think and thought that concentration and extermination camps were the same, but the holocaust proved to us that their is a big difference. Concentration camps were used as a stepping stone to either freedom or death/execution camps, where as execution camps were established for one reason, death.
