What are some similarities between Slavery and the Holocaust?

Question

I really need some help!!!

Answer 1

Living beings being treated as less than human. Families being broken up and made to live in places not of their own choosing. Being made to do hard labor like animals for the benefit of other living beings. Degradation, humiliation, and stripping away of pride, mind, body and soul. These were the similarities of the two.

Answer 2

That's a difficult question because slaves were regarded as valuable property so you made sure they had what they needed to stay healthy. Holocaust victims were not valued, not fed properly, overworked and literally starve to death. Neither group had self-determination, but there were far more differences than there were similarities.

Answer 3

Lack of respect for life.
The shipping of people from their homes. (slave-ships/cattle trains)

Limiting slavery to 'just' African American is shortsighted but a predictable response. Most slaves were viewed as valuable when they were bought. If you limit the view to just the hunting of slaves to get them to their destination (slave traders)...it is almost the same.

The difference is...when the Jews arrived they died after been put to work...or even right away. Slaves were put to labor and had some chance of dieing of old age..say 40.

Answer 4

slavery was created because of african americans, holocaust was created for jewish people. so they were both created because the group of people it was for were "different". slaves were treated poorly, so were the people in concentration camps. both had to work under harsh living conditions. seems like you're having fun with this ;)
