My research topic is about the Jews during the Holocaust and how what they went through affected them. I am interested in this topic because I went to the Holocaust Museum last year and what I saw was extremely sad and was worth me knowing more. It should be interesting to you all because everyone knows the general idea of what happened during the Holocaust but not a lot of people know EXACTLY what happened.
The Jews were hated before World War II even began. This idea is called anti-semitism. Hitler thought of Jews as Satan's people and that they were not human beings and had no right to live. So, once Jews were brought into concentration camps like Auschwitz, Dachu, and Belzec, they were beaten, tortured, mass murdered, gassed, used as medical experiments and more. One experiment that really horrified me was when a Nazi doctor was studying how the human body responds to extremely cold temperatures. Jews were thrown into water that was freezing cold with no clothes and stayed there until they passed out. The doctors would then take the bodies out and take blood samples and study them. The Jews that survived medical experiments were then thrown into the gas chambers and killed so information about those medical experiments were not leaked into the world. That was just one specific about what the Jews in concentration camps went through. There are so much more and if your interested go find out.
I like your topic and also find it very interesting. I liked how you tell the reader one very chilling yet interesting story that makes me want to read more about the holocaust.
ReplyDeleteI would like to learn more about the Holocaust too and I liked when you said that everyone should know exactly what happened. I know about the Holocaust, but I don't know the little informational-pieces about it. I did not know that Jews were used as human genie-pigs for medical-experiments.
