What is the best way to start a research paper on the Holocaust?
You start an academic paper, by introducing the topic. Talk about the affects of the holocaust, then relay your thesis and what it is that you'll be saying in your paper..for instance, if your telling about how it happened or what cause it you could say..





Like, The Holocaust of 6 million people of Jewish decent took place in/on.......





or start with a Winston Churchill or Eisenhower quote after they found the concentration camps, and then lead into your thesis. Or you could start with a quote from Adolf Hitler..and intoduce the topic from there..and talk about the tragedity..etc.
Reply:The Holocaust itself is too broad of a subject. The first thing you need to do is to limit the topic. There are many ways to go about this. You could concentrate on the "righteous ones" - those whose stories of helping the Jews have been chronicalled by the nation of Israel. Or you could concentrate on a particular camp - Auschwitz, for example - or on a particular process - such as the "research" done on live and tortured subjects.
Reply:start it off with a quote from a holocaust survivure. i did a research paper on the holocaust as well early this year. its the best way to start it off.
