Human rights… When thought of most assume everyone has rights and they can’t be taken. Little do they know about the Holocaust? In the 1940’s they Holocaust began.

World War II, by Maurice Isserman depicts the horrendous conditions that the prisoners of nazi concentration camps were kept in. Millions of Jews, gypsies, and other non-Aryans were packed into train cars and shipped to death camps all over Europe. Hundreds of inmates were murdered by the masses and cremated every day. Many worked as slaves under inhumane conditions. The way Jews were treated in Nazi Germany is sickening.…
During the Holocaust people were treated unfairly. I feel that what causes people to be treated differently is because they may not be the same as everyone else. These differences may include religion, physical and mental disabilities, homosexuality, and race. People treat others badly so they feel like they have power. In most cases the people who were treated unfairly couldn’t help their differences. People with physical and mental disorders couldn’t be like everyone else, they couldn’t change. It was the way they were born and they got treated badly for it.…

Throughout history, There have been many examples where groups of people have been denied their human rights. Individuals, groups, and governments have attempted to end many of these human violations, although they may not have always been successful. One example from history where human rights have been denied was the holocaust. The holocaust was horrendous because many harmless people died. During world war II, Hitler created concentration camps and death camps to kill the Jews because he thought no one else should survive that not Germanic. Another example where human rights was denied was the Rape of Nanjing. The rape of Nanjing was when Japan and china were arguing during WWII because China abandoned their nationalist capital, Nanjing.…
Every human being is entitled to certain rights simply because because he or she is a human being. Some of those rights are the right to life, the right to happiness, and the right to live life without discrimination. Human rights are expected to be respected and followed, but historical events have proven the fact that they are not always acknowledged. Two scenarios in which human rights are violated are the Holocaust and slavery. Even though people may say that they believe human rights are important, not every person shows support for their claims.…
Throughout history, there have been many times when human rights have been violated, but none of them compare to the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, German Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, homosexuals, and most of all, those of Jewish descent were herded and placed in work camps. The people’s basic human rights were violated when they were enslaved by the German Army. Article Four of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights” states, “no one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms” (United Nations General Assembly). Hitler’s final solution for the Jewish communities in Germany and its surrounding countries completely violated article four. In his novel, Night, Elie Wiesel describes his journey throughout the concentration camps in Europe and how Hitler’s Regime contravened his basic rights.…
Did you Know that not only jews were persecuted during the holocaust but many others including Gypsies, homosexuals, mentally retarded, physically disabled, and emotionally disturbed germans who did not support the nazi way. According to History.com it was “the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies and homosexuals) by the German Nazi regime.” The Holocaust was an injustice in society because of the persecutions put on the people who were being persecuted, the ways people were torchered, and the things done to those who were being wronged.…
The Holocaust violated human rights by almost every way because they took almost everything and captured them. According to article 5 it states that “no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel , inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment just because they Jews were a different religion and you shouldn't miss treat people at all because they are humans and they should be treated with respect like others if they weren't a Jew or any other religion. .…

United Nations had published the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that all are free and equal. However, throughout history, there have been many examples where groups of people have been denied their human rights because of ethnic background, gender, religious preference, or political affiliation. Thus, people attempted to end many of these human rights violations, though it may not work. The people who lived in India during British imperialism and Jews during the Holocaust are the examples of human rights violations.…
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. To protect human rights is to ensure that people receive some degree of decent, humane treatment. To violate the most basic human rights, on the other hand, is to deny individuals their fundamental moral entitlements. It is, in a sense, to treat them as if they are less than human and undeserving of respect and dignity. Examples are acts typically deemed "crimes against humanity," including genocide, torture, slavery, rape, enforced sterilization or medical experimentation, and deliberate starvation. Because these policies are sometimes implemented by governments, limiting the unrestrained power of the state is an important part of international law. Underlying laws that prohibit the various "crimes against humanity" is the principle of nondiscrimination and the notion that certain basic rights apply universally.…
