INTRODUCTION:
In this last project of the unit I am going to compare the Jewish holocaust during the
Second World War with the Armenian genocide in 1915. I am going to compare
everything above making a summary of what happened, of time, deaths, weapons, how
long it lasted. I will start by explaining the Jewish holocaust then the Armenian
genocide and finally comparing them and contrasting the information.
JEWISH HOLOCAUST:
The Holocaust was the state's persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi
regime and its collaborators ruled by Adolf Hitler. The Nazis, who ascended to power
democratically elected by the citizens in 1933, believed that the Germans were a
"superior race", that the Jews were "inferior" and that they represented a threat to the
world but more so to the Germans.
In the first years of this harsh dictatorship, the National Socialist government
established concentration camps to detain people who were against their opinion. After
the start of the world war, more and more Jews, Gypsies and other victims of ethnic and
racial hatred were imprisoned by police officers in these camps. As there was a large
Jewish population in Nazi Germany, it was not very easy to control all that there were
so the Germans together with their collaborators created the ghettos, transit camps and
forced labor camps for the Jews. The German authorities also established numerous
forced labor camps, both in the so-called Greater German Reich, and in German-
occupied territories, for non-Jews whom the Germans sought to exploit for labor.
During the last months of the war, guards and policemen transported prisoners from the
camps by train, dubbed "the train of death," in an attempt to prevent the Allies from
releasing large numbers of prisoners. Allies were beginning to conquer all allies with
the Nazis, they began to find and free the prisoners of the concentration camps, as well
as the prisoners who were on their way at forced marches from one camp to another
knowing that they were going to die.
ARMENIAN GENOCIDE:
The genocide committed by the Young Turk government against the Armenian people
that began one day before World War 1 began, consisted of the extermination of one
and a half million people living in the Ottoman Empire. The fights began before the
19th century, but it is considered that the start date of the process was later. The
genocide took place under the First World War, an event that the Turkish authorities
took advantage of to try to create a state composed solely of Muslim Turks, for which
they exterminated Armenians and Greeks. The genocide committed against the
Ottomans has been widely recognized by various associations, including the allies of the
Ottoman Empire during the War, however, Turkey continues to deny that this crime is
considered a genocide. This genocide is very little known since the Turks have stopped
talking about it since they are not interested. They killed more than 2 million people
apart from just Ottoman people, like Greeks and people from Syria. Comparing the
numbers with the most famous holocaust which is the Jew has nothing to do with it (I
will analyze it later) but it is very important since it was the beginning of World War 1
and the Turks took advantage of it.

COMPARATION OF JEWISH HOLOCAUST AND THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE:

Deaths: In the Jewish holocaust, according to the ABC newspaper, they say that there
were more than 15 million deaths among all social and ethnic groups, such as Jews,
gypsies. In the Armenian genocide, according to national geographic, they say that there
were more than 1.5 million deaths among all social and ethnic groups, such as
Ottomans, Syrians ...
Weapons: The weapons that were used against the allied side and against the Jews the
Nazis used the MG24 machiné gun, PPSH-41 a submachine gun, MP40 another
submachine gun, a bazooka, panzer vi tiger a tank, and for the Jews sadly the most
deadly weapon in the fields concentration and extermination. The weapons used against
the Armenian genocide were thousands of rifles, shotguns, submachine guns, tanks,
assault rifles, pistols and more ancient weapons.
Resons: The Jewish holcasuto was formed for many reasons, the most important were: 1
Strongly repressed after World War 1, government instability, fear of communism,
political persecution and terror unleashed by the Nazis and the ambivalent attitude of
some of their leaders in the face of racism. The Armenian genocide was formed with the
motive of wanting to create a homogeneous state, for being favored by international
interests, for having resorted to a violent means.
Consequences: The tragic consequences that the Nazis brought on the Jews were: the
Germans murdered a third of the Jews living in Europe in, so the European Jewish
community was weakened and deeply traumatized by the experience suffered, the main
and responsible Nazis Those responsible for the Holocaust were tried and sentenced to
death during the Nuremberg Trials. The rejection caused by the crimes committed by
the Nazis convinced the United Nations of the need to draft the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. The consequences of the Armenian genocide were the arrest of more
than eight hundred notable persons, all of them Armenians. Religious, leaders, teachers,
professionals and merchants. Men of military age were arrested and killed, causing the
Armenian people to lose their nerve.
CONCLUSION:
The conclusion of these two massacres are very easy to explain since there is not much
to put on one side since it does not have anything positive ... In the Jewish holocaust it
was the 1st great massacre and the largest worldwide of people and of the longest ...
And hopefully they managed to rescue a few, all because of the Nazi leaders, some of
whom would end up kidnapped and others committing suicide like Adolf Hitler. I
believe that everyone should learn that it was from this so that it does not happen again
and that we are aware that humanity has done so as not to do it again and begin to
respect all ethnic groups, regardless of their beliefs, their tastes, their religion their
color. And similar to what happened with the Jews, you have to respect all kinds of
cultures, tastes, and colors so that we can all live in peace as brothers without wars and
helping all of us, in this case you have to learn not to do what you have done. the people
of the past so that it does not happen again since millions of people died.
