Responses to the Holocaust.

After the considerable discussion together in class, we were partnered up to retaliate the questions that were made up for this activity.
Even though, we had to rate our own questions from easy to hard, with assistance from the Holocaust site, it would be possible to answer the questions given.
*Questions from partner.

1. I think it was spiteful of the Germans to actually put up that sign to show the rejects for the Jews to come in, because people should have equal rights in this world and not get their human rights taken away.
2. One of the things that makes the meaning of this painting sickening is the countenance on the people's faces - the difference between the Jew's and the German's contortion. The Jew's expressions are dimwitted and pitiful, for their rights have been stolen right away. Meanwhile the German's expressions are careless, filled with the feeling of liberty. It's very unfair for the Jews.
3. Hanne was deported to Gurs, "a Vichy detention camp on the French-Spanish border". She met a social worker that got her out of the camp. "Being free was heavenly" - she says.
4. The term 'genocide' did not prevail before 1944, as it refers to the agonizing, and brutal depravity committed against groups with the intent to eradicate the existence of the group. In 1944, the specific group that they want to have genocide was the Nazis', and the European Jews.
5. "Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about 20,000 camps..." as it says. These camps were called, Concentration Camps, because the imprisoned were physically concentrated in one location. Camps contains prisoners; German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, Roma/Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, and those accused of asocial or socially deviant behavior. All camps were used for a spectrum of purposes like; forced-labors, transit camps, etc.
   
6. When I look at this image, it disgusts me how innocent persons get into camps and assigned by numbers. Nonetheless, it looks filthy and nasty. I think that he might have felt the liberty and freedom, knowing that he have survived through all the horrible experiences and moments being in the camp.
7. I would strongly disagree, because it does take a lot for someone to have feelings for the same gender. Homosexuals definitely does not mean "weak" or such, but instead I think that homosexuals are courageous and brave to grow something for someone the same gender.
8. Behind that door, I picture all these innocent people who have done no wrong bunched up together, seeing their death right by their eyes. It's saddening, really, for me to hear such stories. I'm sure that those people have been there must have been really terrified, and scared to death - while death was right there.
9. I would still feel miserable inside. Sure, I was liberated from camps surrounded by soldiers, who - in the end, would kill me in a firing chamber. Although, knowing that I have no parents, no one to watch over me and take care of me, it'll just be as worse. For I might not have anything else to lose since I had lost them. I would still feel just as terrible deep inside.
10. One example that the survivors of the camps would never recover from is the fact that they have experienced something so horrible. Knowing that you used to be part of a concentration camp is really what kills you the most. Although, it's a good learning tool for them to know that information, is because they're the ones who knows what actually happens in those camps, and they've gone through. From something this terrifying, it brings the benefit to the world that it was the 'biggest mistake humankind has made yet' and it's something that definitely should not be repeated.
