Holocaust Final Draft


Introduction For my report the events are Jews in Vilna create the Fareyneyte Partizaner Orgunizatsye, Kolomyia ghetto established, and Ravensbruck is liberated.

2nd Best is about the Jews in Vilna. Some historians identify the city with Voruta, a legendary capital of Mindaugass who was crowned in 1253 as King of Lithuania. The city was first mentioned in written sources in 1323, in letters of Grand Duke Gediminas that were sent to German cities and invited Germans and members of the Jewish community to settle in the capital city.

Between 1503 and 1522 the city was surrounded with walls that had nine city gates and three towers. Vilnius reached the peak of its development under the reign of Sigismund August, who moved his court there in 1544. In the following centuries, Vilnius became a constantly growing and developing city.

This growth was due in part to the establishment of Almae Academia et Universitas Vilnensis Societatis Jesu by the King Stephen Bathory in 1579. The university soon developed into one of the most important scientific and cultural centres of the region and the most notable scientific centre of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Political, economic, and social activities were in full swing in the town.

3rd Best is the Kolomyia Ghetto established. Kolomyja is a city in the western part of the Ukraine. Between the wars, it belonged to Poland. After the German invasion of Poland, it was incorporated into the Soviet Union. The city came under direct German administration in August, 1941. Shortly thereafter, a Judenrat was established. Various actions were taken against the Jews, and a ghetto was established on March 25, 1942 with over 18,000 Jews. During the course of the next year, over 16,000 persons were sent to Belzec. The ghetto was liquidated in February, 1943.

Most children had been deported from the Lódz (Poland) Ghetto by the end of September 1942. The ghetto struggled to find employment for those remaining and to find homes for the orphaned. The Chronicle of the Lódz Ghetto proudly reported that some 720 children had been placed with families by early December.
Leib Rotblatt was a member of the ZOB (Jewish Fighting Organization), which emerged in the Warsaw Ghetto during the summer of 1942. Members of the organization collected weapons throughout the summer in preparation for a final confrontation with the Nazis.

1st Best is the Ravensbruck is liberated. Construction of the camp began in November 1938 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler and was unusual in that it was a camp primarily for women. The camp opened in May 1939. In the spring of 1941, the SS authorities established a small men\'s camp adjacent to the main camp. Ravensbrueck Trial records indicate that there was a total of 35,000 women in a brothel system and that women assigned in such brothels may have had to “accommodate” as many as 7 to 8 men a day.

The first prisoners at Ravensbrück were approximately 900 women. The SS had transferred these prisoners from the Lichtenburg women\'s concentration camp in Saxony in May 1939. By the end of 1942, the female inmate population of Ravensbrück had grown to about 10,000. In January 1945, the camp had more than 45,000 prisoners, mostly women.

There were children in the camp as well. At first, they arrived with mothers who were Gypsies or Jews incarcerated in the camp or were born to imprisoned women. There were few of them at the time. There were a few Czech children from Lidice in July 1942. Later the children in the camp represented almost all nations of Europe occupied by Germany. Between April and October 1944 their number increased considerably, consisting of two groups. One group was comprised of Roma children with their mothers or sisters brought into the camp after the Roma camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau was closed. The other group included mostly children who were brought with Polish mothers sent to Ravensbrück after the collapse of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, and Jewish children after the Budapest Ghetto was closed.

The best fact from each one is, In the following centuries, Vilnius became a constantly growing and developing city, Kolomyia is a city in the western part of the Ukraine.Various actions were taken against the Jews, and a ghetto was established on March 25, 1942 with over 18,000 Jews, Construction of the Ravensbruck camp began in November 1938 by SS leader Heinrich Himmler and was unusual in that it was a camp primarily for women.
