I think that nobody should suffer, nobody should be expploted phisicaly and emotionaly. I fell very sorry for the people that have done that.
When I first heard about the Holocaust and what they did to the Jews... I feel very sad. Now that I know more about the subject, when I hear the horrible things that the Nazi did to the Jews, I have the feeling to cry or.. I don't know.
My reaction to the Holocaust is pain, tear, lonlyness,... I think that noone should be so bad to the people. I think that this was like an extermination of rats, but insted there were Jews. That is unhuman.
I hope the people that did all this (Hitler and the Nazi) should be very, very sorry and sad for what they did, allthough they are dead.

The holocaust is when the Nazis killed the Jews during World War II. It is really not the right thing to do because you can't kille someone just because they told you to do it.
When I learned about the Holocaust the only thing I thought was: WOW! Haw can people kill other people who haven't done anything, they are just Jews! But, well, Hitler just has the "power" to convice them. If I was in World War II I don't know what I would have done. I mean I probably I would swizide me self, well no one would want to suffer so much like in the Concentration Camps.
Fourtunatly, we are not in the World War II and Hiltler is not alive. We are safe! But , I really reacted, sad and sorry for the Jews that they suffered and, like angry for the Nazi and Hiltler, who was the leader.

My reaction to the Holocaust Paulina Wilson

If you study World History, you can learn a lot of wars. For exam ple Worl war 1, 2, France Revolution, etc, but the worst war that I have learn is the Holocast. In that war was cruelty, rasism, discrimination, torture and all the worst things that a person can trate thouthands of people.

When they taught me about that war I was very sad because of all the cruelty that one person named Adolf Hitler did to many people. The worst manners to treate a person were in that war. Many Jews, gays and black people were treated like an animalbecause they were different than a ¨normal¨ person is. Nobody wanted to be tortured like that specially the people that the nazis wanted to torture because they were different.

I'm very sad of all what happened in those times. If I could change something of the past one of the things yhat I will like to change is the Holocaust, but I can't. Also we need to remember all those people who died in that war because they are heroes. Beause they sufry a lot to surviveand they were perseverant in those conditions to live and I admire that.

my reaction to the holocoaust jimena

     My reaction to the holocaust was like amazement for so much pain jews had to suffer. I mean, they had to be very brave to live through such hard times and be killed at the end. I cant belive how could Germans do such horrible things to Jews. Its really sad for them to see how their families were separated and taken to God noes were. Some Jews died in gas chambers other few lucky ones survived. Even thought they survived or not they went through lots of pain and suffering. This turned to be suffering marked for the rest of their lives.

    You can still see some old sourvivors that that were in costentration camps, the numbers tatued in their arms is daily remember if what they went through. 

    We hope that all the worlds organizatons like the united nations never allow this to happen again. It was  a terrible act against hummanity.

    

Ricardo´s Journal

My reaction to the holocaust was terrible, I saw all those images in the Internet, and they were disgusting, I don´t know how Nazis liked to kill Jews, especially Jewish families, first, they killed the Jewish children´s parents, and then, when the kids were alone they shot them, another horrible thing they made is kill children! I just can´t believe what the children do when the Nazis said to them " go take a shower" and they start putting toxic gas in the chamber and then the children were killed. The Nazis killed Jews in many ways, shooting them, intoxicating them, making soap out of their fat!!! That is grossest and meanest way to kill a person, I just.. I am totally shocked. My reaction continues, I just wish to be there and stop them, if I would have been Hitler´s bodyguard, I would take him to another place and do everything he made to Jews... It is just unfair for the Jews having to agree with Hitler rules, if not they would be killed before. My opinion is that Jews should be treated like humans, not like slaves, its inhuman to do something like the Nazis and Hitler made.

"My Holocaust Feelings"

I would like to say that there isn’t anything worse than killing and torturing people and that whoever does something as horrible as this is less than human. These murderers have committed awful and innumerable sins, all because of differences in religion. I feel that anybody that has done this is mentally ill, has problems and no compassion toward other people. I personally do not discriminate against any religion and I have many friends of different religions so this is why I do not understand how somebody could terminate the Jewish people for a simple religion. I also do not discriminate against people based on their ethnicity. I basically determine if people are good or bad on an individual basis. I feel sympathy and forgiveness for the Germans that were forced to do inhuman actions because their life depended on it. I idolize with all my heart the Resistance; all the people who risked there lives for saving others. I do not comprehend what this world has become, and it just seems to deteriorate by the day. Too many people think violence is the solution to our problems. I wish I could help in some way to stop what is going on in the world. There should be a special day that we show our sorrow and remember everybody that was killed in the Holocaust despite what religion we are. Any person who survived the Holocaust must have a hard time sleeping at night with all those frightful and appalling memories that are stuck in their heads which they can’t erase. We are given the gift of life to enjoy every moment of it, but the Nazis just took it away and tortured them and before they knew it, there beautiful gift of life was gone. We should pray for everybody that was affected and be grateful for our precious lives.

Andre's journal

The Hollocoust made a very bad reaction to me because all the people died and a lot of the people that survived had to hide in their houses. I learned that it wasn't very good in those times, all the newspapers with the dead people( Jews), police persons that don't let them go out if not they kill them.

I woudn't like to be in those times because here you can see all the people living hapily. They can go out of there houses and play outside, also go to eat to a restaurant and more. There you had to pay for the food to bring it to the house so you wouldn't be found.

I also learned from reading "The Diary of Anne Frank" all the things they had to pass hiding from the police and also from the movie but we haven't finish it, niether the book but I have learned a lot.

My Reaction to the Holocaust

I think the holocaust is the worst thing that had happened to humanity so far.

unbeliable situations deeply hurt tousands of families.Its hard to believe humans made such terrible massacre. I think that what the Nazis made to Jews is not acceptable not even to animals.I wish this never happens again.

My Reaction to the Holocaust…


Through some of these days we have been studying the Holocaust a topic that makes me feel so terrible and sad it is this feeling that cannot be explained in words. I have felt something new with everything I see or learn. I feel a certain pity and solidarity towards all the people that died I sometimes wish that I could have helped in a certain way to stop all that death and suffering. Whenever I see a picture of what happened to those people I am shocked by the violence and cruelty that was used as if they were animals. To think that that could have happened to any of us and that could still happen makes me feel sick and worried about what us humans were and have become. And this question will always haunt me about the holocaust. ¿why do we create so much suffering, why do we do it? I really want to know why……

The Holocaust

The holocaust is a very terrable hapening that happened in the past and i think it is good to study it because it showes us all a little bit of history, and to be thankfull of what we have. When i started to study this and listen to all the terrible storys like The Diary of Ann Frank, Number the Stars and Fidrich and that the natzis were killing and people in concentration camps were being missed treated and dead i felt terrible and realised and understud what had happened. And i started to think and this is what i think about this.I think the jews did not deserve this because they are not different from others and they have not done us well at least me any bad thing and hitler in this case i think he was raecist and thought that they should be killed.I now that sometimes you dont like someone but that does not mean that it should be harmed you can just not talk to it and respect that person for what he is if you whant to be respected. And we should be thankfull of are lives and thet this didnt hapen to us.

The Holocaust
The holocaust was a very sad moment in wich lots of jewish people died, including children, teenagers, babies, adults,and old people. This sad reality took abrutly lots of lifes of important people. The nazi plan was to get rid of all the jew people in the world. This was a totaly unfair, but the jew had no more choice htat going into hiding, while the war is developted and lots of other jewish people beaing deporeted. This jewish people wich had to resist torturs in the concentration camp, to survive douring the war. I think Hitler was a person with no feelings, and also crazy. At least 3000 children was killed duorfing the world and ina aproximate total 5million jew dead.

Alexandra*s journal

The Holocaust took away the lives of inocent people that dirent deserved to be traeted that way. They took advantage of jews that were the same as them only that they were part of a different religion. It was not fair for them to suffer that way, they did not deserve to be treated that way and they they did not deserved to be killed with out a razon. I think it was good that the ones that did this got there punish and hopefully nothing loke this will happen again.

The holoucast was the unfairest and masive extermination of a raze (jewes) in history, more than 5 millions of jewes were kiled just because a person with power decided to get rid of every jew in the eoarld. Jewes had to hide in germany because if the police see them they would bee kiled. The jews families had no choice than go hiding and abandon their normal lives and had to comfort with no much space and never go out.There was a group of germans that were coled the resistance and helped the jewes, they where against the extermination of the jews.a lot of families where killed and a few jews survive and now we are studing these to learn and conmemorate that unfairest act against a raze!

Romeos Holocaust!!!!!!!!aaaaa!!!!!!

The holocaust made many jews die, and that made also the resistance start. The resistance was a group of people against the Nazis and Hitler. If i was one of those I had gone and kill Hitler even if they killed me, so Hitler had been dead and no more war. I would be in all the newspapers of all the world and on tv programs!! I WILL BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The
Holocaust

The Holocaust was an awful dictatorship by a German called Adolf Hitler.The Holocaust made many jews go into hiding because if the Nazis found them they would be sent of to concentration camps. Concentration camps were more like torture camps were the jews worked unwillingly and they didn't get any food.The holocaust is one of the worst things to have ever happened on our planet.

The Holocaust Felipe Volio

I thinck the holocaust is a sign of violence, panic and terror to all the world. It expresses complete injustice to the Jews and to their families. Millions of people died in this world , just because the Nazis didnt like the Jews. There were lots of stories of Jews hidding in places, that have no food, no water, no liberty. And the most impressive part is that the Nazis send the Jews to concentration camps, just to kill them!!! I thinck that the holocaust is the most unfair thing that has ever happen in the world. And that we should try that this will never ever happen again.

PIETROS JOURNAL

I belive that the holocaust was a very cruel tragedy. I could not imagine anything as cruel and discriminatory happening again on earth. Or at least i hope so. I think that it was sick to have killed all those pepole just because they belived differnt .
Hiltler tricked many pepole sepecially in Germay. As he made everybody think he would bring Germany back to power after its great fall by the second world war. Germany became very weak after the second world war and by being as weak and having almost no imapct in the world they couldve belived in anyone,specially a man like hiltler. Not only was he clever but he was very intelligent. He did some great things in Germany,until he came up with the holocaust.
Many miillions of pepole died because of him and not only men but Wemen and Children were sluttered by this animal! But as smart and clever as he was he was also a coward! He did not take charge by his actions, he just shot himself and his wife.
Still in days thosee many soldiers are being chase and taken to justice so they can pay for what they did. I hope that nothing like the holocaust ever happens again but as sad as it is it happend once and many inocent pepole died for just living!

andres velez/ hollocaust

for me the hollocaust was awfull because 6 millon of jews were killed and torturated.
i dont know why hitler did this awfull act of killing people withought compasion.yesturday i was seing discovery channell and i saw a documentary of the consentration caps. they say that hitler liked jew songs and that he listen to them almost every day.

i hope that all the jews live in peace with god and dont suffer eny more.
and that all the people that killed jews, i hope god forgives them.=)

The Holocaust

The Holocaust was a complete injustice toward the Jews. They did things to them that any human being should deserve. They just couldn’t do anything. There lives in those times were horrendous. They were always scared that something happened either die or discovered and then die. Everything started when they had to use the yellow star of David in all of their clothe, then they couldn’t go to the same school that the Catholics did, after that they couldn’t ride a bike or use a car and then the calls up notice. I think that what they did to the use was a disaster. HOW CAN SOMEONE TREAT LIKE THAT A HUMAN BEING? The Jews weren't animals they were humans just like the Nazis only that they had a different religion.

Holocaust

The holocaust is somethimg that happened long time ago and I think it was really bad. Because we are all human and you can not try to extint a raze just because thay have a different religion.From what I've seen about the holocaust it was really difficult to survive because you had to go into hiding and you couldn't make much noise or even go out because they would catch you and make you go to concentration camps.Also if you got sick you couldn't go to a hospital.The holocaust was horrible!

The Holocaust

The Holocaust was the extermination of the Jews during the Nazi period. This situation was a terrible devastation for the Jew community... It was horrible how the Nazis couldnt tolerate other beliefs and religions and how they took advantage of their power in the meanest way the could! But in my personal opinion the worst part of the Holocaust was how the Jews were sent to concentration camps just because they had different beliefs, people arent suppose to the punished just because they dont share your same religion. I cant explain how someone could act so indifferent to pain... How could they just separate families? Or kill children in front of their parents? Or hurt them by kicking or punching them and even taking their tooth and nails out? How could they see children dying of hunger or of so many hard work?
When ever I think of the Holocaust I realize how painful, devastating, and horrible war and intolerant people are! I just cant explain how people can be so extremely mean but at the same time I realize how brave and perseverant the Jews were and aways kept believing...

Andreas Beck

The Holocaust was a sign of horror to the Jews million of people died and in the concentration camps the Nazis said there is going to be a bomb attack so they will need to go to a place to protect themselves and in that place the Nazis throw a smoke that kill them all. When people remember Jews about World War 2 they will like start crying because it was something terrible about 6 million people died!! For my opinion I think Hitler is a really crazy man that does not know even what he is doing.

paulina joaristi

In the halacoust million of jews died 6 million people!!!! the nazi where very crule and very selfish there was repots about how it all started by making jews wearing a yellow star in all of there clothes but then simply the nazi would tell the jews they would gona take them to a better place to live but they would take them to concentration camps were they would berlly eat and they would kill them.World war two was from 1939 to 1945.It was really horrible.
