of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and
peace in the world although if disregard and c ontempt for human rights have
resulted in barbarous acts which have outrage d the conscience of mankind, and
the advent of a world in which human bein gs shall enjoy freedom of speech and
belief and freedom from fear and want has b een proclaimed as the highest
aspiration of the common people, whereas it is essential, if man is not to be
compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and
oppression, that human rights should be pro tected by the rule of law, whereas it

DEFINITION 2
Challenge of human rights during world war 2 and the boy in the striped pyjamas
Human rights were challenged during world war 2 as people, including the Jewish
and the Germans were controlled by Hitler. Jewish people, Homosexuals, the
elderly or anyone that didnt have the same b eliefs as Hitler did, had no rights
what so ever when war broke out in 1939. Because of the hatred specifically
towards the Jewish people, Hitler formed a N azi army which also had most of their
human rights taken away from them and w ere forced to heil Hitler and do
whatever he asked. This usually resulted in violent acts towards the others where
most of them were killed or tortured until de ath in horrid places. This can be seen
in the boy in the striped pyjamas as Shmuel lives in the concentration camp, gets
fed small portions of food that make him app ear scrawny and dyeing, referred to
as a number rather than a person and is cove red in dirt. These are all basic
human rights that every person should have but were taken away from the
Jewish people during that time and mistreate d daily because of their beliefs and
living routines.

DEFINITION 3
Opinion on how Jewish people were treated I believe Jewish people w ere gratefully
mistreated during world war 2. Because of th eir religious beliefs and thoughts
based upon the world at the time they were slaughtered by the ruler Hitler that
formed an army against them which eventu ally overruled their culture. The Jewish
people were specifically targeted by the Nazis amongst gay men and women,
darker skinned people and just anyone that d id not agree with Hitlers views
against these people. These people were st ripped of all rights they may have had
before the ruling of Adolf Hitler and were trea ted in ways that no man or women
should ever deserve to be treated. I, as well as many other people of that time
and now believe that this was wrong and th at the high amounts of discrimination
towards these people was unnecessary and wrong and those people, the Nazis
and Adolf Hitler had no rights themselves to be treating others with such
disrespect.

DEFINITION 4
Why were the Jews targeted by the Nazis and have less rights than others? - The
Jews were targeted by the Nazis because Hit ler, a German soldier who fought in
the war was devastated when they lost along with all the other remaining soldiers
but he believed the reason for their loss was the Jewish people because of their
lack of engagement in the war when they a ctually sent more than 10000 of their
own soldiers to the to fight for Europe as we ll. Because of this hatred towards the
Jewish people, Adolf Hitler formed an army t hat had the same hatred against
those people Nazis. The Nazi army grew larger an d larger over time which
eventually overtook the Jewish people and sc aled them from all their rights and
were taken away from their homes, separate d from their families and most of
them were killed. Hitler also believed that al l people should be the same, blonde,
blue eyed, German and had the same hatre d towards the Jewish people as he
did. Any person that didnt live up to those sta ndards, was put in that category as
the Jewish people and had their rights strippe d from them too. This was
homosexuals, dark skinned people, gypsies and just anyone that had didnt beliefs
to the Nazi army.

DEFINITION 5
What is your view on the topic history never repeats? - I am in the
middle. See, I believe that yes in som e cases history does repeat
itself like the constant rivalries betwe en different countries in the
world like now the tension between the USA and Korea but there
are also cases where history doesnt repeat itself like the holocaust
and world war 2 which was such a tra gedy with so many human
lives lost that it is a good thing that the history of that time hasnt
been repeated.
