Describe the holocaust

History

The word “Holocaust,” from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned), was historically used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an altar. Since 1945, the word has taken on a new and horrible meaning: 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 during the Second World War. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”–now known as the Holocaust–came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland.

The Holocaust was a devastating time. Many innocent Jews, homosexuals, and people with disabilities were killed, simply because they were different. It started in 1933, and didn't officially end until 1945. These people were put in concentration camps to be worked to death, starved, put in gas chambers, and died horrible deaths. It was quite a sad time.

He did add that although he admired their strength of belief, he did believe that the cause they chose was the worst cause in the history of mankind and that they were in the wrong.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

A) One specific example of how a change in the rights or roles of women from 1800 to the present corresponds to the argument made in the text is that women can now run for public office. This connects to how the author describes how women are just as capable and valuable as men.

B) Another specific example of how a change in the rights or roles of women from 1800 to the present corresponds to the argument made in the text is that women can get a post-secondary education now.

C) One specific example of how a continuity in the rights or roles of women from 1800 to the present counters an argument made in the text is that women are still struggling to get paid a wage that is equal to that of a man. This counters the argument that these movement would be able to change all the woes women face.
