Nazi Holocaust, extermination by Armenian nation, and mass murder in Cambodia are examples of mass murder based onideology. This type of mass
murder conducted in an effort to achieve an ideal social structure, which includes all members of society are the same or have the same beliefs. Fascism and communism
are same ideology in 20th century, which try to form community based on similarity. Holocaust for example, which is controlled by Nazi racial theories, the German
nation is a superior race, they call with Aria.
From the story in the novel “The Diary of young girl”, Anne wrote her diary since June 1942 until August 1944. It is around 2 years since they run and hide from
the Nazi into a hiding place in the secret pavilion. The last day Anne wrote in her Diary in Tuesday, 1
st
August 1944. It is because in 4
th
august 1944,Anne and all of Jews in the hiding place were captured by Gestapo. On 3
rd
September, all of them are being part of thousand Jews who were sent to leave Holland. On the third night
they arrived in Auschwitz in Polish. In the platform they areseparated between woman and man. It makes it as the last time Anne saw her father. At Auschwitz the
healthier prisoners, their heads shaved, worked twelve hours a day to dig sod, being driven relentlessly by the sadistic kapos criminals who served the SS as labor
overseers. At night they were locked into crowded barracks. Outside the windows they could see the sky glow red above the crematories. This is corresponded with
portray condition of Jews in Auschwitz. There are information from Hitler and Holoucaustby George Sanford Genhard L 2007:105 :
The prisoners were transported by train from all over Nazi- controlled countries in Europe, and arrived at Auschwitz in many
days convoy. Their arrival at the complex split into three groups. One group was put into the gas chamber within an hour; these
people are sent to the Birkenau camp, where more than 20,000
32
people could be in gas and then their body was cremated each day.
At Birkenau, the Nazis used cyanide gas, which is called Zyklon-B, made by the pest control company. While the second
group of prisoners put into slave labor in factories industry for companies like I.G. Farben and Krupp.The Auschwitz complex
itself, 405,000 prisoners recorded as laborers between 1940 and 1945. Of these, approximately 340,000 people died of execution,
beaten, starved, and sick.
It is corresponded between historic information and the event happened to Anne in the novel. The information tells some people were died of execution, beaten,
starved, and sick. All of those things happened to Anne and her sister. Anne’s sister was died in the camp concentration march 1945 because of typhoid. Shortly after the
incident, her sister is written was died in the concentration camp. This information about Anne and her sister is written in the end of the novel. It can be seen from
quotation below: “Margot died at the end of February or beginning of
March 1945. “Anne, who was already sick at the time,’” recalled a survivor, “was not informed of her sister’s death, but after a few
days she sensed it, and soon afterwards she died, peacefully, feeling that nothing bad was happening to her,’” she was not yet
sixteen.1993:280
From the quotation above, it can be seen Anne and her sister’s phenomenon is one from thousand people which experience of Jews died in the camp
concentration. The experience happened to Anne and her family it portrayscondition of Jewish people at the time, which treat inappropriately by Nazi.
Anne and her sister are one from thousand people died in the camp concentration. They are part of holocaust victims died because of ideology of fascist from Hitler
33
and Nazi. Remove and destroy Jewish from German and some countries occupied by German is one kind of Nazi program Anti-Semitism. It shows as Jews they are
the victim ideology of fascism Hitler. Even though, at camp concentration they are not killed with gas just like another people. They are part of group that employed as
labor until they got sick and died in camp.
4.2 The impact of Fascism toward Jews 4.2.1 Final Execution
One of program Anti-Semitism by Nazi In 1942, they makes ‘final execution’ for All Jews. ‘Final execution’ is sending all Jews to camp concentration. In 20
January1942 there are a meeting that known as Wannsee conference. In the conference there are decision for exterminate All Jews, and send all Jews in the
country that occupy by German in Europe to the camp concentration. It is reflected in the novel “The Diary of young Girl” while Anne’s sister named Margot received
summonsfrom SS in 8 July 1942. SS Schutzstaffel is Protective Squadron is a large military and security organizations. Got a summon means they should report to
SS and will send to camp concentration. It makes Anne father bring all family member hiding in the secret pavilion after received summon from the SS. This event
can be seen in quotation below: … I was lying lazily reading a book on the veranda in the
sunshine, so I didn’t hear it. A bit later, Margot appeared at the kitchen door looking very excited. “S.S. have sent a call-up notice
for daddy,” she whispered. “Mummy has gone to see Mr. Van Daan already.” Van Daan is a friend who works with Daddy in
the business. it was a great shock to me, a call-up; everyone knows what that means. I picture concentrations camps and lonely
cells should we allow him to be doomed to this? “Of course he won’t go,” declared Margot, while we waited together. “Mummy
34
has gone to the Van Daan to discuss whether we should move into our hiding place tomorrow. Anne, 1993:13
… Margot told me that the call-up was not for Daddy, but for her. I was more frightened than ever and began to cry. Margot is
sixteen, would they really take girls of that age away alone? But thank goodness she won’t go, Mummy said so herself, that must
be what Daddy meant when he talked about us going into hiding. Anne, 1993:14
From the quotation above, it is concluded that rule made by the Nazi in 1942 about ‘final solution’ was happened in Anne’s experience. It is corresponded with the
history in that period while Nazi wanted to destroy all Jews. ‘Final execution’ is one of kind Anti-Semitism to destroy all Jews and send them to the camp concentration. It
can be seen Anne and her family very scared because of that summon, and Anne imagined about camp concentration. Camp concentration is a place that made by Nazi
to accommodate all Jews captured. They scared about camp concentration. It makes Anne’s father brings all of
them to hide in secret pavilion. Anne’s father already made a plan for their escape a month before they got summon. He made a secret place in her office for them to hide
from Nazi. After Anne’s sister got that summon, her father made them escape more early than his planning. They move to the secret pavilion at night because worry if SS
will capture them. This situation can be seen in quotation below: … Only when we were on the road did Mummy and Daddy begin
to tell me bits and pieces about the plan. For months as many of our goods and chattels and necessities of life as possible had been
sent away and they were sufficiently ready for us to have gone into hiding of our own accord on July 16. The plan had to be
