Response To Andersonville Prison

The Truth About Many Jews Ellie Wiesel once said, “Without Passion, without haste.” The people in this true story were all treated like they were so much less than everyone else in the world. None of them had names that they went by anymore they just went by being called stupid Jews by the people who ran the camps. The things that had happened to these people were so unbelieveable. Millions of Jews were forced to cut their hair and were compared to dogs, or even sometimes called dogs.

There was a special camp for those considered to be a severe threat located in Tule Lake, California. The buildings of the camps constructed substandardly of wood and tar paper. There were schools, hospitals, post offices and even libraries for the internees. But there was also barbed wire surrounding the camps and constant surveillance by armed

The Author, Ruth Minsky Sender, chose the title “the cage” , but why? Ruth is a survivor of the Holocaust, who wrote a book about her experience, and the different places she has went. So why did she title this book “the cage”? Let’s look into some reasons Sender may have came up with the title “the cage”.

World War ll: Camp Atlanta It may surprise you that during World War ll (WWll), here in America, we also had Prisoner of War (POW) camps. What might be even more surprising is that there were even a few here in the state of Nebraska. There were many POW camps in Nebraska, but who would have guessed there would be a camp in Atlanta, Nebraska, a little town of one hundred thirty-one people. The thousands of prisoners held in Nebraska, the design of the Camp Atlanta, and last but not least, what the conditions were like inside the camp are three of the main points to discuss.

During imprisonment, a prisoner usually had a blanket and a cup or canteen. Food shortages made suffering unbearable. The prison camps were overcrowded, and men slept in shallow holes dug into the ground. Their daily meals consisted of a teaspoon of salt, three tablespoons of beans, and eight ounces of cornmeal. Men drank and cooked with water from a stream that also served as a sewer.

The prison was a great prison compared to others and it did help house many homeless people and families. To the people who lived there, it was a torturous place that they spent their days in. Some were foreigners and were as far away from their family as possible living in a grotesque and cruel environment. Now it is a historic site to visit that showed how it was to live and suffer

so I decided what better way to learn about it while presenting it as a project. I decided to tackle my research first by finding primary sources. I knew that these were key to establishing a good project. I found pictures and important primary sources on online databases and archives. These helped paint a picture of how the internees felt while being held in camps.

Life for these prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp had been incredibly scary and horrific. There were many different categories of prisoners. You had the Jews, Poles, Gypsies, Soviet POWS, Jehovah 's witness, and other ethnic groups. Out of the 16,710 prisoners that had been there, 1,055 were Jews. The main goal for the germans was to get rid of all Poles.

The Book is Always Better than the Movie The Holocaust was a genocide that occurred almost one hundred years ago. As the number of survivors dwindles, it’s become more necessary than ever to remember. Books, documentaries, and other forms of media are one of the best ways to preserve history.

“When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age pensioners homes, but instruments of terror.” These are the words from one of the worst monsters in history-Adolf Hitler, and what he said in the quote was absolutely correct. These concentration camps were horrifying with the smell of burning flesh and the bloodcurdling screams of thousands of people. I learned that you had to work to survive and had to be emotionless according to Elie in the book Night. Learning about what they did in the concentration camps teaches us more and more about how lucky we are for living in this time period and to not live in fear of being tortured or killed.

Prisoner of war camps were common during World War II. However, the book Unbroken displays the true horrors that were in the Japanese prisoner of war camps. This book captures the life of Louis Zamperini and tells the horrendous conditions that he and other prisoners faced during their time in the prisons. The Japanese internment camps did not fulfill the purpose of the camp, the treatment of the prisoners that they deserved; also the prisoners were given meaningless jobs to fulfill.

It was sad to be taken to a concentration camp because it meant that it was the end of your life.

FAO reported that 2008 was the second largest crop in history. That same year, according to Action International, five million children died of hunger. It has been shown that the planet can produce food for a population more significant than the current one. However, 1.02 billion people suffer from famine (1 in 6.5), and 100 million more joined last years.

One of the survivors said, “I polished SS boots as dying people screamed”(The Sobibor Death Camp). The elderly, sick, and invalids were told they would receive medical treatment, but instead, they were put into carts, be taken behind the Chapel, and they would be

This is why most starving
