    By following Germany's history that lead up to the Holocaust, and examining the Ten Stages of Genocide by Dr. Gregory Stanton, I believe that one of the largest warning signs that happened early on in which genocide prevention could have taken place would be Germany's economic crisis during the Weimar Republic. In the 1920s, Germany entered a depression under the Weimar Republic. By 1929, the worldwide depression hit, causing Germany's economic system to crash. “In a country plagued by joblessness, embittered by the loss of territory, and demoralized by an ineffective government, political demonstrations frequently turned violent”( The Path to Nazi Genocide). This period is where classification, or us versus them mentality began to grow against the communist.…

    MilkWeed, “Until Then I Had Only Read About These Things in Books,” and “The Guard” are entirely about children experiencing the sad and majorly horrible Holocaust lead by Adolf Hitler. In these two excerpts and a neatly written poem, the authors/narrators show their similar and different views towards the Nazis. First, a similarity between the excerpt from the passage, “Until Then I Had Only Read About These Things in Books” and the poem, “The guard,” the narrator/author don’t come into contact with the Nazi. My evidence from, “Until Then I Had Only Read About These Things in Books” is, “We couldn’t make a sound, and all we would hear was the sound of the people searching, their footsteps, their knocking on the walls.” My evidence from the poem, “The Guard” is, “Dora and I must pass by him on our walk to…

Meanwhile, Adolf Hitler, an Austrian, sought to rid the nation of any race that was not “pure,” creating a utopian society based upon his radical ideology. Like Bismarck, Hitler was close-minded and would always go with his instinct, regardless of what was truly in the best interest of the masses.…
