One of the most horrific events to happen to humanity would be the Holocaust. It involved the incarceration and execution of nearly 6 million Jews. This is an unimaginable number to comprehend. To understand that approximately two-thirds of the Jewish population was killed is madness. Before the Holocaust, the Jewish population was each year less and less limited in what they were allowed to do. They were not allowed in German restaurants, they were not allowed to use German drinking fountains, and they were eventually forced to leave their homes and abandon all their belongings. Over the years, Jews have slowly lost their rights to everything, even to being human beings. The worst 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 because it was part of Adolf Hitler's “Master Plan”. He wanted the world to be inhabited only by the German race. It began with the Jewish race and never went much further. This led German citizens to despise the Jews, because with the propaganda they made, it painted them as evil people. He showed them with a long nose and completely humiliated the Jewish people. This article 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 they have different points of view on the main characters. One is of a Jew hiding from deportation in The Pianist, and another is of a boy who is the son of a German officer in, The boy in the middle... in the center of the paper... looking, almost like the people in the concentration camps. He narrowly escaped death and fell ill when the Red Army finally crushed Nazi Germany. He was lucky enough to live and tell the story of what happened to him. Both main characters had different views on the Holocaust, which are two of the millions of views that its victims had. The terrible truth of the Holocaust is that millions of people had a story of what had happened to them and their voices were silenced needlessly. other than following their religion. The world is for all people to share and enjoy, for all people to be equal. This is not the case in society, neither now nor forever. There has always been and always will be mutual hatred in the world, and I fear it will always be that way until we all leave this earth. Meanwhile, nations will rise and fall and the cycle will continue until the end of time.
