when i her the word holocaust i think of death. and hittler
Spencerholdaway Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word holocaust, I think of death, Germans, Germany, Jews, killing, screaming, gas chambers, dead people, and slaughtering Jews. When I think of what happened in the holocaust, I think of what could have happened if Nazis were ruling the United States, or even the world. I think of how the Jews would be if the Germans took over, dead. I think of the survivors and their stories of the Jewish people being killed and slaughtered. I think of the 1900’s and how it was a long time ago. I reflect on how the world is today with the holocaust in the past and how it affected the Jewish people and their religion. Hitler was a bad person and had a reason to hate the Jews but I don’t really see why. I could tell he hated the Jews and he made it very obvious too. I am not a racist and I don’t incriminate people based on what their religion, race, or lifestyle is but their isn’t a reason to hate people in general. Everybody is different and life has changed for then to now and people should embrace the fact tat we have to leave the past behind and learn from it.

When I hear the word holocaust, I think of the attempted extermination of a race. I think of prejudice and ignorance, and most of all I think of how lucky the world is that Hitler didn't rise to power. If he continued to gain support the world may have been destroyed a long time ago. Hitler killed the jews to obtain a perfect race, but only showed how imperfect he was.

When I hear the word "Holocaust" I think of the many Jews that were taken to concentration camps and killed. Many adults and children didn't make it out of these camps and the few who did, will never forget the experience. I think about how all of this took place because they were disliked by Hitler and the Nazis. It reminds me of the power that Hitler once had and the Nazis that ran alongside him. I also think of the war that we fought during WWII.

when i hear the word holocaust i think of all the Jews that were killed by Adolf Hitler. i think of Germany. i think of how much i hate Nazis. i think of the survivors and how they must feel today, i think about how i would feel if i was in the concentration camps and what i would do and if my family died. i think of gas chambers i think of what they did to the Jews skin making lamps out of it. i think about the beds they had to sleep on, the food they had to eat and all the horrible things they had to do and how nasty and smelly it was in the concentration camps because of the dead bodies

When i hear the word "holocaust", i get scared because it's something about the 'caust" part that makes me think of somebody being lost or being kidnapped anyways, i think about the Jews and how bad they were treated in concentration camps, i also think about hitler and how he was one the most known leaders.
gregphin Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word Holocaust, I think of sadness and Jews. I think about living differently then we do now, because the Germans would be controlling us. I also think about hitlar and why he did it and what drove him into doing it.

When I hear the word Holocaust I think of all the innocent Jews killed in concentration camps. I think of how they were treated so unfairly and treated like dogs. \,,/>.<\,,/

When I hear the word holocaust, I think of the attempted extermination of a race. I think of prejudice and ignorance, and most of all I think of how lucky the world is that Hitler didn't rise to power. If he continued to gain support the world may have been destroyed a long time ago. Hitler killed the Jews to obtain a perfect race, but only showed how imperfect he was. Hitler gained power with his strong speaking abilities, and people were blind to what they were doing. Murdering one race wont fix anything, if anything it will cause more problems than there were before. If Hitler was seen as a radical and insane man from the start this event could have been avoided, but he slowly grew in power, and eventually became unstoppable. I’m glad his reign finally did end, because who knows how many other races he would have seen to be “unfit” for his “perfect race”. I know that if I was a Jewish man in that time, I would want help, I would feel lonely, and I wouldn’t understand why any of the events that occurred during the holocaust, were so fully supported by the German nation.

When I hear the word "Holocaust", I think of the Jews, Germans, Hitler, and Auschwitz. I think of the Jews because they were the ones mostly affected from the Holocaust. There were millions of Jews killed and it wiped out most of their population. I think of Germans because they were the ones who killed the Jews. They had concentration camps and sometimes they just worked the Jews to death. The Jews didn’t do anything wrong, Hitler was just racist and prejudice. Nobody gave the Jews a chance. Busload after busload Jews were dropped off at these camps and they knew that whenever they got there, that they were going to die. Some Jews hid and escaped from the Germans, but after they were caught, they were just shot and killed. I think of Hitler because he was the one responsible for the mass killing of the Jews. It was under his ruling that “The Final Solution” arose. He wanted to keep killing all the Jews until all the Jews were wiped out. I think of Auschwitz because it was one of the worst concentration camps. More people were killed at Auschwitz than at any other camp during the Holocaust. This is what I think of when I hear the word “Holocaust”.

When I think of the Holocaust I think Jews. The reason I think Jews is because they where one of the main people who where killed during the Holocaust. I also think of religion and race. Another reason many of the people where killed and taking to these concentration camps was because of their race or their religion. I also think of Hitler. I think of Hitler because he was the one who was in charge of Germany during the Holocaust, and he is the main reason why we had the Holocaust. Another thing that I think of is a blue eye blonde hair, Hitler wanted for everybody that didn’t have these traits to be killed. The main reason I think of that is because if I were born during that time then I wouldn’t be living because I have brown hair and hazel eyes. Another thing that also comes to my mind is the Diary of Anne Frank. In 8th grade we read an excerpt from her diary, it just made me think how can a teenage girl be locked away day and night, not being able to talk or see her friends. Also having to worry if she was going to live the next day because she was a Jew and if the Nazi’s where going to find her. The last thing I think about when I hear the word Holocaust is when I went to the Holocaust Museum in Washington. I can remember it being quiet, and sad. I can also remember walking through and seeing the train cart full of shoes. But, the thing I remember most was at the museum you got to go through this thing it was called Daniel’s Story. It was so sad because it was actually like you where in there. Daniel was sitting at home one day baking cookies with he’s mom and then the next day he’s separated from everybody and in a concentration camp. It then later told if Daniel survived or not.

When I heard the word "Holocaust" I think about the millions of lives lost because of one horrible man. I think of Hitler and his extreme racism. I think about how if I had been alive in Germany during the Holocaust, I would have been taken to a concentration camp because I am not (in Hitler's eyes) the perfect kind of human being that deserved to live. I feel for all of those people that did have to go through such a terrible time in our world. Nobody deserves to die because of his or her religious values or the way that they look. The worst part though is that they weren’t just shot in the head or something like that. They were tortured in gas chambers, worked to death, the Nazis starved them, and honestly, if I had been in a concentration camp, I would have died because of depression. So many people were separated from their families, never to see them again, or they were killed right in front of them. I think that this is what Hitler wanted though; to be remembered forever. It doesn’t matter that we remember him for being such a horrific murderer, it just matters that we remember him. When people think of the holocaust, Hitler always comes to mind too.
summerlanestaley Oct 7, 2010
when i think of the holocaust i think of politics, death and suffering. i mean...during the holocaust everyone knew what was going on and didn't do anything about it. the way i see the whole situation is that america didn't care. america didn't care about the way the jews were being treated because they weren't "americans". some people may have cared in timed but it wasn't enough time to save innocent peoples lives. they didn't wanna get involved because it wasn't their problem. they don't get involved until they have to and by that point it was too late. they don't care about others till it comes down to that final second when someone loses their lives. thats when they felt guilty. the u.s. could have stopped the holocaust. they could have saved so many people. but they didn't want to get involved. hitler killed people because they were different. maybe he was trying to make a statement such as: "don't mess with the germans or you will die." but one thing hitler didn't know was that life can be a better place without death and sorrow and anger. some people may have agreed with hitler's beliefs but there are more people who would override his decision. there is more than one person to blame. but if we could go back and change that one thing would we? would we go back and end the holocaust before it even began? or would just hide like we did before?
pauljbuc Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word holocaust I think of destruction. I think of carnage, death, sadness and millions of people killed as if they were animals for slaughter. I think of Hitler, how his racist point of view spread all over Germany and obliterated two-thirds of the European Jewish population. I think of innocent little children who, having never hurt a soul, were murdered in mass numbers. I think of babies crying as they are separated from their mothers, only to be killed off by Nazis soldiers of tortured by Nazi "scientists". I think of Auschwitz and other death/concentration camps used to eradicate thousands upon thousands of innocent lives. I think of a death that reeks worse than anything else in the world. A death that is terribly wrong in every moral law ever passed down throughout human history. I think death, but that word alone cannot tell what the holocaust really was, because somethings words just cannot describe.
ashleyelizabeth001 Oct 7, 2010
When hear or thank about the holocaust I automatically think of Jews think of Jews because they were treated very cruelly and as if they had no feelings what so ever. I think of how they were treated and what they had to go through. I think about concentration camps and what went on throughout them. There were adults as well as children that were killed while in the concentration camps! I also think about how the few people that did make it out of the camps were basically scarred for life. They will never ever forget what happened to them and what all they experienced. Thinking about the holocaust always brings Hitler to mind and the fact that because he didn’t like the Jews they had no chance basically. As well as murder. Murder comes to mind because basically the holocaust was a big mass murder of many innocent people. I also think of Germany and Nazis.
Adrimber Oct 7, 2010
Lets see.... Painful memories that shattered the beliefs of a "normal" and "" humane" world. Deception and secrets held by the very ties that held together our "prefect" world. Untold truths and a inhumane practices. A cult that devoured others beliefs and for many kids adulthood and any other dreams they might posses, even the dream to live. The scattering of a religion that was to be forced against or upon, murdered by their own and true to self-religion that they were told “To believe what ever you want.” Self-demonization to Hitler’s heart and the reek of death that portrays it, misunderstood and unknown by the world this small little speck of history changed lives for millions even if you were not there yourself you still feel the pain and hardship the Jewish belief was desolated in. Words unspoken by a true survivor will never know how hard they were tortured to death. Trying to speak these words that are still stuck in my throat for not fear of myself but fear of others who have suffered when I have a comforted life. In truth the main thing that makes me think of the holocaust is “The true self of man” that’s were I will end.
cayleybug16 Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word Holocaust, the first thing that comes to my mind is Jewish people. I think about all the innocent people who were killed just because someone didn’t like them. When I hear the word Holocaust, I think about Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. I think that they were the most horrible people that ever lived and how they killed people just because they didn’t like their religion or their looks. When I hear the word Holocaust, I think of concentration camps. I think about all the different ways the Jewish people were killed. I think about the gas chambers, starvation, and how Jews were worked so hard, they died. When I hear the word Holocaust, I think of how families were separated from one another. I think about how some people never got to see the husbands, wives, or children before they died. I think of all the children who were separated from their parents and about the men and women who were separated from their husband or wives. I think about how some people never made it out of the concentration camps and never got to see their families again. When I hear the word Holocaust, I think about torture. I think about how the Jewish people were put into the concentration camps and how they were worked so hard that many of them didn’t survive.

When I think of the Holocaust, I think of World War two and all of the people killed during that period of time. Not only the Jews and others held in the concentration camps by Hitler, but also the Americans that died trying to kill Hitler and also the many Germans that were killed that were to afraid to try to stop Hitler. The Holocaust was a very sad time and many people, especially Jews, lost their life for not reason or cause. None of the prisons that were captured had done anything to Hitler and also done nothing to deserve the treatment that they received. No one should be treated like that because of religion or anything that they might say or believe. Hitler was a cruel man and should have died a more painful death than suicide. He had no right to kill that many people and had a major impact on the world even today. The people that did somehow make it out of the concentration camps alive probably wished that they had been killed just to forget all that they had seen, hear, and experienced during that time. Others are thankful to be alive but still have to live with the pain of what they went through everyday.

When I think of the word holocaust I think genocide. I think about the reasons why something so catastrophic as this could have happened. I also think deeply about how evil and brainwashed they must have been. When I think of the leaders I think not so much about Adolf Hitler, I think about Heinrich Himmler. Heinrich Himmler was the leader of the SS, I am pretty sure he was the leader of the Gestapo as well. When it came to how the holocaust came about goes way back about ten years or so. When Hitler was in World War I he received the iron cross, one of Germanys highest honors. However he did not take it due to the fact that his commander was a Jew. It starts with Anti-Semitism. Not only that, it starts with people thinking their race is superior. The occult, most Nazis believed it, most famous was Himmler, they even took trips to Nepal in search for descendents of a superior race. The occult talked about how Atlantis was an island in the Atlantic that was home to super beings. Those were Aryan people. The Nazis wanted to have Aryans so bad that they started special breeding programs to have blond haired, blue-eyed children; Dr. Josef Mengle at Auschwitz even did experiments to the eyes to make them blond, that is how far they went. This is what Hitler wanted to base his society on. By taking out everyone who were inferior, this is what caused the holocaust, and those are things I think of when I here “holocaust”.

When I hear the word “Holocaust,” I think of the many Jews that were taken to concentration camps and killed. Many adults and children didn’t make it out of these camps and the few who did, will never forget the experience. These people were taken to these camps because Hitler and his Nazi Party disliked them. They were different from everyone else and because of that, Hitler didn’t see a reason for them to live. It was awful the way they were treated in these camps and the torture that they went through. Children were used as experiments and they went through some terrible things. Jews were gassed, starved, and shot. They could not escape the execution that they faced and if they tried to, they were just hunted down. I think about Anne Frank and how she was taken to a concentration camp on her thirteenth birthday. She never made it out alive. I also think of the great power that Hitler had over Germany and what an influence he was on everybody until this tragedy occurred. Many lives were taken and we as American citizens will never forget that. The war that we fought will always remain in our memory as well as the many lives that were lost.

When I hear the word "holocaust" I think about concentration camps, Jews, all the people that were killed, the ghettos that people were placed in, cremation, gas chambers, death trains, Hitler, Nazis, and the S.S. When I heard that word it makes me feel sorry for the families that lost loved ones and for the people that had to be put through that misery. I think about all the things that could have been done to stop what went on within Germany’s walls and all the things that happened to millions of people. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be in a concentration camp or extermination camp knowing that my last day on Earth would be right around the corner. It would have been hard for me knowing that my family could be somewhere else, possibly already dead, while I was still alive having to push through the suffering. When I think about the Holocaust I also think about religious and racial prejudices and how there hasn’t really been such a horrible account of genocide besides the Holocaust. I wonder why Hitler targeted the Jews more than any other religious group and what made him feel like he had to exterminate all of them.
kaylrgro Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word “Holocaust” I think of the many concentration camps that held many Jews. It is a hard subject to talk about because you know that there was a lot of pain and suffering that those innocent people went through. And to just think how Hitler treated all of those Jews, it is just heartbreaking. I feel bad for all of those people that knew that they were hated by people in their communities and especially their own leader.
I also think about Anne Frank. She was a very brave and smart girl that knew what she believed in and was proud of what she believed in. Her and her family and even a few other people, lived in the attic of an office building to try to hide from the Nazi’s. She wrote a diary expressing all her emotions and feelings during that time period, but she never knew that her diary would be made into a published novel that would tell the world how awful it was, trapped in a small space, and then being captured and taken away to a concentration camp.
These are a couple things I think about when I hear the word “Holocaust”.
KelseyDanielle Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word “Holocaust” I think about death, Jews, Hitler, killing, The Holocaust Museum, Germans and Germany. After going and visiting the Holocaust Museum I couldn’t even imagine how bad it would’ve been to live during that time and be put or sent away to live in an concentration camps even just because of my looks, or religion. I can remember walking through this museum and seeing all the train carts full of just shoes that the Jews wore and seeing all the sadness in pictures, the rooms and even the people walking through looking just like I was. Many of the adults and children didn’t make it out of these concentration camps and the few that did haven’t forgotten it just because of how bad the experience was. Most of the Jews that were affected were mostly because of the Holocaust and most the Germans because they were the ones that killed the Jews. I think of Hitler because he was just racist and prejudice against the Jews and they didn’t do anything wrong. Also when I think of Hitler because he was one of the main ones responsible for all of the killing of the Jews. He wanted to keep killing the Jews until there was none left. This is mainly what I think about when I hear the word “Holocaust”
ryansol Oct 7, 2010
When I here the word holocaust I think of death, war, and Hitler. So many people die during the holocaust just because they were different. Hitler gained power by having army’s. He hated the jews and blamed them for anything bad that had ever happened. Even know he was jewish he still killed anyone different then himself. I ges the germans didn’t think that this was wrong. Killing people for being different was worth death to them its like gangs here but turn down like 5 time. Just for being born in a different belief or be homo, you were sent away. Most of all I think of the many who lost there life to fight for the rights of incessant people in germany. How could we of let this happen with out knowing, and why would people kill there own kind just because of hatred and they had no one to stop them.
toridbar Oct 7, 2010
When I hear the word “Holocaust” I think of pain, and anger, and ignorance. I think it’s amazing how one person can make millions of people think just like him. I candor my heart to the holocaust victims, those who are dead and alive. I think of Jews being burned, innocent people being taken away from their homes and their children. I think of lives, dignity, and pride being taken. I think of helpless children being punished without anyone to fight for them. I think of Nazi’s invading homes.
I think of the fear in peoples eyes as they’re carried away, or as they’re placed into a gas chamber. I think of stupidity, selfishness, and hate. I think of Hitler as a cruel, naïve man. I think of the people who prophet him weak minded, and unreasonable. I think of Poland as history. I think of the survivors and how proud they must be, but how hurt they may be because they made it and others did not. I feel disappointed in my own country, I feel disappointed in anyone who didn’t even bother to reach out. I think about people who are in deny of the Holocaust. I wonder how you can deny facts. I wonder how you can look at a picture and say “That’s not what happened”. I wonder why people can’t accept the world as it is, and embrace the diversity. I wonder how men can look in the eye of a young child and kick dirt in their faces. I can’t believe the world would let something like this happen, right in front of their faces.
