What horrific sight does Elie see as he and his father enter the first camp on their march to the barracks?

History
1 answer:
atroni [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

They saw truckloads of children, babies thrown into the fire, the crematorium, the burning pit.

Explanation:

Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night" recounts his experience as a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust that became one of the greatest genocide in the history of the world. This book also became one of the most important witness accounts of the historical disaster.

When they were taken to the camp at Birkenau, the men and women and children were separated. Elie and his father were taken to the left while women were taken to the right. This separation would be the last time he would ever see his mother and sister. And later on, after the medical inspection by <em>"the notorious Dr. Mengele"</em>, while walking they saw a truck full of children, babies being driven and thrown into the <em>"crematorium"</em>, a burning pit. Elie recounts how he saw <em>"A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies!"</em> This was the horrific sight that he and his father along with the others saw on their march to the barracks in the first camp.

Why did the Europeans treat the slaves so badly during the middle passage?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

They viewed them as property rather than as people

Explanation:

The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Ships departed Europe for African markets with manufactured goods, which were traded for purchased or kidnapped Africans, who were transported across the Atlantic as slaves; the slaves were then sold or traded for raw materials, which would be transported back to Europe to complete the voyage. Voyages on the Middle Passage were large financial undertakings, generally organized by companies or groups of investors rather than individuals. Slaves' treatment was horrific because the captured African men and women were considered less than human; they were "cargo", or "goods", and treated as such; they were transported for marketing

Women at the start of the 20th century

It is only over the last three or four decades that women's role in the history of South Africa has, belatedly, been given some recognition. Previously the history of women's political organization, their struggle for freedom from oppression, for community rights and, importantly, for gender equality, was largely ignored in history texts. Not only did most of these older books lean heavily towards white political development to the detriment of studies of the history and interaction of whites with other racial groups, but they also focused on the achievements of men (often on their military exploits or leadership ability) virtually leaving women out of South African history.

The reason for this ‘invisibility' of women, calls for some explanation. South African society (and this applies in varying degrees to all race groups) are conventionally patriarchal. In other words, it was the men who had authority in society; women were seen as subordinate to men. Women's role was primarily a domestic one; it included child rearing and seeing to the well-being, feeding and care of the family. They were not expected to concern themselves with matters outside the home – that was more properly the domain of men. Economic activity beyond the home (in order to help feed and clothe the family) was acceptable, but not considered ‘feminine'. However, with the rise of the industrial economy, the growth of towns and (certainly in the case of indigenous societies) the development of the migrant labour system, these prescriptions on the role of women, as we shall see, came to be overthrown.

This is a particularly appropriate time to be studying the role of women in the progress towards the new South African democracy. The year 2006 was a landmark year in which we celebrated the massive Women's March to the Union Buildings in Pretoria 50 years ago. Women throughout the country had put their names to petitions and thus indicated anger and frustration at having their freedom of movement restricted by the hated official passes. The bravery of these women (who risked official reprisals including arrest, detention and even bannings) is applauded here. So too are their organizational skills and their community-consciousness – they were tired of staying at home, powerless to make significant changes to a way of life that discriminated against them primarily because of their race, but also because of their class and their gender.

We invite you to read, in the pages that follow, on the important role played by women in twentieth-century South Africa. A list of works for further reading and some appropriate documents are also included in this archive. Women, half the population after all, have been silent for too long in our history books, and although this need is now to an extent being addressed, there is still a huge gap in our knowledge on the role of South African women. It is high time that our young South Africans should put the record straight.
