The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking

This article, written by Eric Lichtblau of the New York Times, reports that the Holocaust Museum recently presented its research of concentration camps in Europe during the Holocaust. The research produced the fact that a grand total of 42,500 concentration camps and ghettos were in active use during the Holocaust in Europe. Lichtblau communicates the logos of the research conducted, and uses pathos in order to bring the lifeless facts to a horrifying reality. By using horrifying diction such as "killing centers" and "dumping the bodies of victims" Lichtblau allows the reader to understand that the horrors of Auschwitz so commonly discussed were present in thousands of other locations throughout the continent.
