What if?

There have been many tragic events in history, many leading into others like dominos. One of the biggest things would by far be the holocaust. What would the world be like now if the holocaust somehow never happened? Things would be very different had Hitler never developed such hatred for them thus the horrific events seizing to exist. The Germans would not have lost their faith in hitler, causing the war to mayb not have ended when it did. This would shift all over, even the smallest thing not happening could be a big impact on how everything functions today. This could have also caused for Europe to fall under communist control. There would be more jews in Europe. The state of Israel may not have come to the exist in 1948 or maybe not as soon as it rose. Even before WW2, the Jews were buying land in Israel. If they already had land that was pretty big, the Jewish population was very likely to come around eventually. The holocuast not happening could have caused Germany to win the 2nd world war. The population would be consisted more of polish, German, and Russian. Many German Jews considered themselves German, in slaughtering the Jews, this caused Germany lost some of her best people. If there had been no holocaust, there would have been more Jews in Europe. More jews everywhere over all. About six million Jews were killed in the holocaust, and there are about thirteen million Jews around at the moment. There could be about twenty million around if the holocasut had never  happened. A lot of things would be different.

  TIt is arguable that if there was no holocaust, the State of Israel may not come to exist in 1948, because the sympathy would be on the side of the Arabs who have oil rather than the Jews, it was the holocaust that convinced the world, the Zionist state was necessary. also if there was no holocaust, Germany would no doubt have won the 2nd world war, because many German Jews considered themselves German, in slaughtering the Jews, Germany lost some of her best people. If there was no holocaust, there would have been more Jews in Europe.

Were Jews able to escape from concentration camps? If so, how many and what was the outcome?

Were Jews able to escape concentration camps? and if so, how many and what was the outcome? 

Concentration camps were a horrible place and it was probably just as difficult to tolerate the agony of being inside rather than finding a way to escape. It's hard to just think about how they could withhold the terror and scary situations they had to wake up to every single day. Some even driving them to insanity and others thinking there was a way out. They did not want to be toretured and finally decided to try to escape. It must have been a hard task because of how many soldiers there were and how much protection, tramps etc was set around the camp. As well as surprise gas showers, they never knew when they went inside and could have been killed hours before their escape plan. It sure isn't an easy thing to do, but some had to have made it out. There is also fifty-fifty chance that they made it and got away or they didn't and got caught again. Some even escaped the camps before getting inside but all were eventually found one way or another. According to new research, over 764 Jews jumped from nazi trains. Some even were angered at them because they were scared for themselves. Many would use clever ways to be able to escape like prying open bars of the train to jump off and then successfully fleeing away, others would leave on nightfall (Lipman). A handful of Jews were able to cheat death by escaping and managing to stay out of harms way. I chose this question because a lot of Jews were killed and it is fascinating to know that some were able to get out. The stories they share and that some would still have hope that they would get out of that desperation. 

Some incidents involved transportation with men women and children from Hungary. On May 1944, they were able to escape and ran in the woods, where they hid. Although they were not successful because eventually SS caught up to them and killed them. (The holocaust explained)

Propaganda WW1

Propaganda is a kind of biased communication designed to influence people’s thoughts and actions

Prior to the civil war people said, "The United States are", and after the civil war people said, "The United States is". 

In the case of U.S. Supreme Court opinions, we apparently became an ‘is’ somewhat gradually, between 1840 and 1910. And the effect of the Civil War (or at least its immediate aftermath) was apparently to delay the change, not to accelerate it.

A U-boat crew machine-gunning helpless survivors of the Lusitania was clearly meant as propaganda. In fact, U-boats seldom lingered after an attack

Though the face of media throughout the world has been experiencing dramatic changes, it is clear that propaganda has been and will go on to have a significant effect on people and their thoughts about war. Old propaganda techniques, instead of being discarded, have rather been given a makeover to fit the existing demands today. Ppropaganda in the future is likely going to be based on the same principles and ideals that Hitler created during World War I, yet they will be changed to fit in with the changing times.
