Abstract
The institution of slavery in the United States was a barbaric system. Without doubt, it was an institution that had its element of physical and psychological abuse and degradation. In many respects, however, it cannot be compared to the Jewish Holocaust under the Nazis. Indeed, the enormity of the Holocaust is so great that it is difficult to categorise it with other cases of mass killing or systems of oppression. This is in no way to minimise the barbarity of American slavery, but the Holocaust was, after all, the only case in history where there was the attempted destruction of an entire group of people.

Abstract
The extreme stress of traumatic events causes human beings to react in either a positive or negative manner. Coping becomes especially difficult in situations where the individual is incapable of solving the problem at hand. While some coping skills work better than others and some people possess qualities that enable them to deal more effectively with stress, surviving an ordeal that destroys a belief in human goodness or a sense of security remains with an individual ever afterward. This paper examines the causes of, symptoms of, and reactions to extreme stress. Also presented are the prolonged effects of stress on Vietnam combat veterans, Holocaust survivors, and people who work with trauma victims.

Abstract
Sara Tuvel Bernstein's memoir, "The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival", is one of the most memorable of first-person accounts of survival during the Holocaust. The book is well-told by the late Bernstein and deserves a prominent place in the archive of Holocaust survival stories. In 1944, she was transported with her sister and two friends to the Ravensbruck concentration camp. In a moving afterward, Seren's daughter describes her mother's strong personality. Published posthumously, Bernstein's work evolved literally thread by thread as she worked in her sewing room, methodically recording her tale of survival during the Holocaust.

Elie Wiesel's novel tries to keep the historical memory of the holocaust alive. We see the holocaust through the eyes of a little child.

Abstract
This paper looks at how Freud's "Civilization and its Discontents" offers unique insights into the psychoanalytic workings of the human mind which may help to explain how many of the atrocities which face the characters in Elie Wiesel's "Night" could be rationalized by these characters' oppressors. The essay also focuses on analyzing Eliezer's relationship with his friends and ailing father throughout the novel as well as looking at events of the Holocaust as a whole.
From the Paper
"This statement, written by Freud years before the Nazi party began separating Jews and other undesirables from their community, describes one of the most important aspects of Human nature that allowed the Nazi movement to be so effective and appealing to those involved. Aggression is one of man?s most natural instincts that must be fulfilled if Humans are to stay in an emotionally balanced state. Civilization however, impedes upon this urge toward hostility. The Nazis understood this, and in turn realized the necessity of clearly identifying a separate faction for the Aryans to project their anger and enmity toward without being shunned by society. The trick in this becomes identifying this separate party of outcasts and displaying them such that the population will accept them as the others. The first step in this process is presenting the ideas to the public as to why these people ought to be their antagonists. Hitler?s oratory skills seemed to have a knack for accomplishing this. As in Sighet, another primary step was forcing these pariahs to wear arm bands, visually separating them from the insiders. Now, not only are the ideas implanted within the Aryans but they are also able to see each and every person who they are encouraged to direct their aggression toward. In doing this, the Nazis have tailored society to aid the id in that the superego is now believing that this aggression is acceptable and the ego is free act on it without opposition. The hostility immediately began to flow and the entire process began to progress."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief description of Adolph Hitler, describes Hitler's beliefs and objectives as the leader of the Third Reich, offers a timeline of events of WWII, and concludes with a brief discussion of the consequences of WWII.
From the Paper
"Hitler believed that the German man, with his blonde hair, blue eyes, and tall stature was superior to other races. He named this race the Aryan race, and claimed they were the master race above all other races. So, if the Aryan race was superior to all other races, then there must be inferior, or subhuman races. These races must include the Jews, Czechs, Poles, and Russians. His focus was on the Jew, because as he dictated for his book, ?The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew.? He believed that the Jews were conspiring to keep the master race from assuming their ?rightful place?, by tainting the racial and cultural superiority. As an interesting side note, Hitler himself was short, had dark hair and dark eyes."
