Essay about Adolf Hitler The Invasion of Poland - 575 Words

On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland to start the biggest war all mankind has ever seen. A man named Adolf Hitler led a group called the Nazis. He convinced those men that Jewish people had ruined the world and caused Germanys downfall after World War One. They were also against people like gypsies, criminals, or anyone they thought were undesirable. Soon after the Germans started, Japan and Italy joined to help their cause. As the war went on the Nazi party grew bigger and stronger and countries started fighting back, but the Nazis were to strong. Then one day Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and just like that Americans were in the war. That day we became mortal enemies with all of Japan, and we werent going to hold back on them.†¦show more content†¦It was a terrible time and that brings us to the question, why do we study the Holocaust. One reason we study the Holocaust is for future reference. Six million Jewish men, women, and children all died because Hitler told his men to kill them. We teach people about this so we dont have someone else repeat it. Now that almost everyone knows about the Holocaust we wont have people that go along with any plan like that. It also teaches people that if they do try this they will be stopped and they will be killed or they will be in a lock down prison the rest of their life. Another reason we do this is to learn about the discrimination. The Jews could not eat at the same places, shop the same stores, drive cars, or anything that a normal human should be able to do. They had to wear a Jewish star to show that they were Jews. They had to get a big J stampped on their passport so they could not leave the country. This is like what was and still is happening today in America. We would have slaves work for us and get no pay all because they were different. Its good to learn about this kind of thing because we can learn from our mistakes. One last reason we study this is just because it is so absurd. This type of thing feels like it was made up in a movie. It is one of the most ridiculous things ever in the history of the world. They took Jews and put them in gas chambers or in a furnace.Show MoreRelatedThe Use Of Mass Media On The World Of Jews1495 Words   |  6 Pages â€Å"People have come to accept fiction, repeated a thousand times over, as reality.
