One of the most horrible events that happened to humanity would be the Holocaust. This involved the imprisonment and execution of nearly 6 million Jews. This is an unimaginable number to comprehend. Understanding that approximately two thirds of the Jewish population was killed is insane. Before the Holocaust, the Jewish population was each year less and less restricted in what they were allowed to do. They were not allowed to enter a German restaurant, nor use German water fountains, and were eventually forced to leave their home and abandon all their belongings. Over the years, Jews gradually lost their rights to everything, even the right to be a human being. The most serious part of the Holocaust began in 1933. That year, labor and concentration camps were established to subject Jews to forced labor and "exterminate" them. Millions of people were displaced, and this continued until the end of World War II in 1945. The main reason for the Holocaust was that it was part of Adolf Hitler's "Master Plan". He wanted the world to be inhabited only by the German race. He started with the Jewish race and never got much further than that. This led German citizens to look down on Jews, because with the propaganda they spread, they presented them as evil people. He showed them with long noses and completely humiliated the Jewish people. This diary will follow the films The Pianist and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Although both films are fictional stories, they closely follow the horrors that occurred during the Holocaust. I chose these two films because of different visions of the main characters. One is that of a Jew who is hiding from deportation in The Pianist, and another is that of a boy who is the son of a German official in The Boy in the Middle of a Paper.... .. looking ck, almost like people in concentration camps. He narrowly escaped death and fell ill when the Red Army finally crushed Nazi Germany. He had the chance to live and tell what happened to him. The two main characters had different views on the Holocaust, which represent two of the millions of views its victims had. The terrible truth of the Holocaust is that millions of people spoke out about what happened to them and their voices were silenced for no reason. other than following their religion. The world is meant to be shared and enjoyed by all, and all should be equal. This is not the case in society, neither now nor forever. There has always been and always will be hatred towards each other in the world, and I fear that will always be the case until we all leave this earth. During this time, nations will rise and fall, and the cycle will continue until the end of time..
