The Holocaust

    During the Holocaust there were many inhumane things going on, Jews were killed because of stereotypes. Many times the people were just taken from their homes and tortured then eventually killed. The Germans had no respect for people of different religions, children. or people with disabilities. How could someone just kill innocent people without feeling any remorse. I'm not just saying that only the people who killed the Jews were wrong but also the other people who sat back knowing what was going on and refused to acknowledge what was happening. They use the line that they weren't the ones getting killed and they weren't going to risk their lives to help others. Those people were just as guilty of killing the Jews as the Germans who did the crime.
    I would think someone would rather want to die for a cause then die a coward. To many people in that day overlooked the Holocaust  but now it is known as one of the cruelest crimes committed in history. Think about all the lost innocent lives that could have been you or your family, would you have wanted someone to help you?
