3. Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring greet the participants in the parade as they pass
beneath the window of Hitler's new office.
I chose this picture to represent what I learned about the Holocaust because Hitler was
the person who organized the Holocaust and the termination of Jews. This photo shows
Hitler after he was appointed Chancellor of Germany in 1933. To me, this marks the
beginning of the very tragic event known as the Holocaust.
4. At Buchenwald concentration camp, newly arriving
prisoners are registered upon arrival.
I chose this photograph to represent what I learned about the Holocaust
because this photo shows a new prisoner arriving at a concentration camp
and being registered. Jews did not know what to expect when going to
these camps, which makes the whole event that more tragic.
5. I chose this picture to represent what I learned about the Holocaust because this is a
representation of how cruel Nazis really were. They destroyed people’s possessions
because of the content of the books and did not feel bad about it.
The burning of books that were not
German or consisted of “unGerman” ideas
in Berlin and cities throughout Germany.
6. I chose this picture to represent what I learned about the Holocaust because
this shows that everyone, even policemen, tormented Jews because of who
they were and thought it was humorous.
German policemen tormenting a Jew.
7. A woman is sitting on a bench marked only for Jews.
Anti-Semitism is the prejudice against or hatred towards Jews. I chose this
picture to represent what I learned about the Holocaust in order to show
Anti-Semitism.
“History has shown that wherever anti-Semitism
has gone unchecked, the persecution of others
has been present or not far behind. Defeating
anti-Semitism must be a cause of great
importance not only for Jews, but for all people
who value humanity and justice….”
—U.S. Department of State, 2008
8. Prisoners during roll call at camp
Buchenwald.
I chose this photo to represent what I
learned about the Holocaust because the
faces on the prisoners show how miserable
they were; no one had a happy expression on
their face.
