Heyy,I'm learning about the Holocaust
in Language Arts.So if you
have any information
I could use for my future report,
Let Me Know!!!
Just post it Here!:D
 
I'm in the 8th grade.
I need something that is rare.
You know what I meen?
We can't get anything off the internet.
Just books or information
people gave us.I don't know why.
But my report is due tomorrow.
I've got a lot of information already.
I had to put things about
The Diary of Anne Frank.
Which we read in class and I watched a
film on it in class also.
We had to watch a movie called
Escape From Sobibor and Swing Kids.
So post if you have any information!!!
 
There are dishonest persons these days with a bigoted anti-Christian agenda, who claim, not just that many Christians were cowards and failed to prevent the Holocaust (that much is true), but that Christians INTENTIONALLY CAUSED the Holocaust. To expose this lie for what it is, and to provide historical information generally, I urge you to find the book "The Hiding Place," by a Dutch Christian woman (now up in Heaven) called Corrie ten-Boom. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Corrie and her family risked their lives trying to HIDE Jews from the Nazis. Some public libraries probably have the book.
 
mhemm very hard subject...well for me at lest. I ponder on this very much, In many countries this horrid time acured many diffrent years and moths. Many people think it really started in 1940 but it semi started in 1936 prier to 1939 the major part was between 1940 and 1944-45 . France was librated in 1944 and so one. One of the Genrels was IKe...I forgot how to spell that :p
He lead some attacks. The two majoir allies that I can remember[from my history lessons] are England and France. Well that is all I can tell right now...from all my lessons and studies I forget some times so do forgive me if the dates are wrong :eek:

P.S. I don't live in an area that was evected by this but my Parents have been to two of the consetraion camps, one is Archswits...
 
That general was Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower, who later was a U.S. President.

As for France being an ally, a great many French rolled over and played dead as soon as they suffered a few battlefield defeats; thus the Nazis didn't even need to occupy all of France--the treasonous "Vichy French" ran the south of the country FOR them! Those Vichy also turned over many Jews to the Nazis to be killed; and some of them even helped the Nazis to fight against the Allies. After the war, then, practically everyone in France _claimed_ to have been in the Maquis, the underground resistance. The _real_ Maquis veterans took to calling these phonies "the Postwar Maquis."

During my Navy career, I was in Poland once and got to visit one of the _smaller_ death camps the Nazis had set up in that country. One building there contains a mound of old shoes, about thirty feet long by ten feet wide by four feet deep. These were the discarded shoes of Jews, Poles and other victims who died at this camp--and remember, this was a SMALL one. A Navy chaplain who was with me said the usual things about how we must never let it happen again; so I said to him, "Sir, all the talk about 'never again' is entirely useless unless we understand what REALLY caused the Holocaust. It's popular nowadays to say that the Nazis were the way they were because they held to a rigid moral code which made them 'intolerant.' Actually, that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the truth. In reality, the Nazis considered themselves modern, scientific and progressive, able to transcend traditional concepts of justice and compassion. The Nazis weren't rigid, they were flexible--changing their story and changing their policies any time it suited their interests to do so. That's because there was only ONE thing they were adamant and rigid about: wanting power! Meanwhile, it was precisely the people who DID have a moral code who were the ones rescuing Jews."

I second that recommendation! "The Hiding Place" is a wonderful book. It is written, like Copperfox said, by a Dutch Christian woman who helped the Jews and eventually suffered for it. Beautiful.

Thank you Copperfox and Everyone else!
If you have anymore information,
Let me know by posting Here!!!:D
 
Wish I would have seen this earlier, in 8th grade a guest speaker came to our school and talked about it. Her family was Christian and were helping Jews hide/recieve information about the government. She talked about how her and her brother had to go down into the sewers to meet Jewish families and relay information to them. Her family was caught and although they were all Aryan were put into concentration camps. She entered the camp when she was 9 and didnt leave until she was 13.

It just shows that while some Christians were cowards during the era others were brave and tried to stop some of the suffering.
