essay 2 compare and contrast
hi,
This next essay is about comparing and contrasting two concepts or things. i have come up with many different things to compare and contrast, so i had to narrow my list down a bit. so now i just have two ideas. Here they are:
i will compare and contrast Hitler and Stalin,
or
i will compare and contrast the 1920's and the 1930's.
This essay has to have a great introduction and conclustion. I am not always so great at them so this essay will most likely be a challenge for me. If i were to do the first option my introduction would include some background on both of the people, and then i would state my three part thesis in which i would say how their beliefs, and culture were different. If i were to choose the second option, my introduction would include background on each time, and my three part thesis in which i would say the ecomomy, life style, and national of the counrty were differnet for each decade.
I still have to decide which one to use, but if think one is better than the other or have any other suggestion, please tell me.

The Holocaust
In January of 1933, the Nazi party took control of Germany; they believed that German’s were “racially superior” and that the Jews were inferior to them (Introduction). The Nazi’s also thought that the Jews were a danger to their so-called “German racial community” (Introduction). The Holocaust which occurred in Europe during the Second World War was the result of one man's idea of a "perfect race”, a persecution of specific peoples, and a premeditated mass genocide.
The Holocaust came from the idea of one man, Adolf Hitler. Hitler had many followers who then began to have the same ideals as him. Hitler had similar beliefs of that of the German social Darwinists of the late ninetieth century (Victims). The Nazis and the Darwinists both had similar beliefs of evolution. The Nazis embraced the Darwinist take on their evolutionary theory regarding the “survival of the fittest” method (Victims). For the Nazi’s, survival of a race depended on its capability to reproduce, its amount of land to nourish and feed the expanding population, and its concern in maintaining the pureness of their gene pool. Therefore, presenting the unmatched “racial” characteristics with that of “nature” had equipped it for prosperity in the struggle to survive (Victims). Since each “race” sought to enlarge, and since the space on the earth was precise, the strain for survival resulted in violent conquests and military confrontations. Consequently, war was a part of nature, a part of the human condition (Introduction). To define a race, the social Darwinists united stereotypes, both positive and negative, of ethnic group demeanor, attitude, and culture. For the Nazis, absorption of a member of one race into another was impossible because the original inherited traits could not change, they could only degenerate through so-called “race-mixing”(Victims). Hitler believed that the Germans were a part of a more superior group of race, that he called the “Aryan” race (Victims). The Aryan race was a perfect society in Hitler’s eyes. For Hitler and the Nazi’s the Jews were a priority enemy. They had specific political ideals that Hitler was not appreciative of. Thus, Hitler was ready to make the Aryan race the only race in Europe.
Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about twenty thousand concentration camps, to imprison the victims of the Holocaust (Nazi Camps). The first concentration camp opened on March 22, 1933, the camps first inmates were political prisoners (36 Questions). There were many different types of camps: forced-labor camps, transit camps --which were like temporary way stations-- and death or extermination camps, which were built only for the sole purpose of murdering millions of people (Nazi Camps). There were six extermination camps: Aushwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka, which were all located in Poland (36 Questions). During the Holocaust the German authorities targeted many ethnic peoples because of their racial inferiority: the Jews, the Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, the Poles, the Russians as well as many others (Introduction). Other groups were persecuted on political, social, and behavioral beliefs: the communists, the socialists, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the homosexuals (36 questions).
The Holocaust was a premeditated genocide of millions of innocent people. During the length of the holocaust over six million Jews died, nearly two thirds of the Jewish population in all of Europe was executed (Holocaust). Between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand gypsies were persecuted. More than two hundred thousand physically and psychologically disabled Germans were systematically killed as well (Holocaust). The Holocaust was the systematic, state sponsored annihilation and massacre of over six million different groups of people by the Nazi regime (Introduction).
The Holocaust is a Greek word meaning a sacrifice by fire (Introduction). The commonly known definition of the Holocaust is the mass murder of Jews and other ethnic, political, and social peoples in Europe between 1940 and 1945, by the Nazi party. In conclusion, the Holocaust is a tragic legacy that is essential to comprehending western civilization, modern authoritative society and human nature as a whole (Victims).

In January of 1933, the Nazi party took control of Germany; they believed that German’s were “racially superior” and that the Jews were inferior to them.

Focus for essay 1
Hi,
The focus of this first essay is to tell what something is. I am going to be describing what the Holocaust is. In one of the latest posts that i have written i asked many questions about things that I still needed to know and learn before I could accurately write this essay. So i have a few answer's that I am going to to share with you. I asked how many concentration death camps there were, and the answer i found was that there were six camps: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzek, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka, which were all located in Poland. I found this answer on this Web site: http://motlc.weisenthal.com/site/pp.asp?c=gvKVLcMVIuG&B-394663#3 . Another question i asked was what other ethnic groups besides the Jews were in the holocaust concentration camps? And the answer i received through my research was that Nazi not only targeted the Jews but also the Gypsies, the disabled, Poles, Russians, and other Slavic peoples. While other groups were persecuted for political, behavioral, and religious beliefs: Communists, socialists, Jehovah's witnesses, and homosexuals. This answer was found on this Web site: http://www.ushmm.org/wic/en/article.php?moduleld=10005143
As I stated before the focus of this first essay is to describe what something is, and I am describing what the holocaust is. My thesis for this essay: The Holocaust which occurred in Europe during the second world war was the result of one man's idea of a "perfect society", a persecution of specific peoples, and a mass genocide.
In my introduction I plan to give the dictionary definition of the Holocaust, some background details about the Holocaust, and at the end of the paragraph I will state my thesis.
In my first body paragraph i plan to explain what Hitlers ideals were, why he thought that the Holocaust was the "Reich" thing to do.
In my second body paragraph i plan to explain and give details about all of the different people that were involved in the Holocaust.
In my last body paragraph i plan to describe what happened in Holocaust and about the mass genocide that it was.
In my concluding paragraph i plan to give a summary about what the holocaust was, and explain the tragic legacy that lives on to today.
I hope that this paper will be as accurate, and detailed as it possibly can be, i cannot wait to start writing this paper and for all of you to read it.

Web Sites, how do you know if they are reliable?
Hi,
Seriously how do you know if a source is reliable.
http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005143
I believe that this web site above is a very reliable source. Although this site does not have an author, it is from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. If you had any questions you could directly call the museum. The article is very informative and ful of detail. At the bottom of the page is a list of sources, and related links that helped the museum give as much acurate information about the topic as is needed. The balance of photographs and informationis almost equal, however their is more information than pictures, which is what there should be. Lastly, there are no advertisments on this page, which tells you that this site is only interested in giving proper, accurate information rather than selling the reader something.
