Thesis statement.
| |
I think the Dachau concentration camp is worst of all the camps. I say this because other camps may have killed more jews or had worse conditions but Dachau was the camp that started it all. It was the first camp(est March 22, 1933) therefore starting up the building of all the rest of the camps. If there was to be one camp to represent the begining of the camps it would be Dachau. | I could not describe, truly describe to you, what life was like in Dachau or any of the camps. But, the book "Night" by Ellie Wisel truely describes what life was like in the camps. Although not nessicarrily Dachau, the conditions that he describes in the book apply to all of the camps. An example of how bad the camps were is shown in this quote from from Night by Elie Wisel- "...never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of black smoke beneath a silent nlue sky, never shall I forget those moments which murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Heaven shall I forget these things, even if I am condemmed to live as long as God himself, never." After reading "Night" you turely understand the kind of conditions in the camps. Not only that but it puts it into prespective, instead of just effecting 6 million Jews you she how it effects the individual. At the end of Night you can sort of get a feel for how it affected the individual when Elie said- "...for the first time since the Getto I looked at myself in a mirrior. I stared into the mirror and saw a a corps staring back." "The diary of Anne Frank" also does this. It shows you the direct effect of the holocause on regular people like you and I. When you hear the 6 milliom Jews were killed, that is impressive, but it does not touch you. When you read the true stories of real people like you and I , you begin to grasp the concept of what really happened and what still could happen today. You may not think so but the holocause could happen today, tommorow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now or never happen agin. scary isn't it?
