Discrimination In The Holocaust By Elie Wiesel

Improved Essays
“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them”, someone once said. Everywhere in the world their is lives in danger, and there is people being judged by their religion and race. I agree with Elie about what is happening in the world, and like he said that place must become the center of the universe. As a young person coming of age in the twenty- first century, I agree because it's something that is really happening in the world. Many people don't believe it's true until they actually open their eyes and see for themselves. Men and women are persecuted, like Elie Wiesel said, because of their race, religion, or political views. In The holocaust, millions of Jews were killed in fire by the nazi regime because of their beliefs and religion. The Jews were victims of nazi racism. They were mistreated and put into concentration camps during the World War II. Like happening in recent time about Donald …show more content…
We should not be racist, and think bad stuff about people with a different race, religion, and political views. In the end, we are all humans we have our differences, but that's what makes us unique. We should never go back to the past, and let history happen again. History is history and we made changes now so that itself does not repeat. Also happening in current times is about the problem with muslims many people are racist because they just are what they are and can't accept it. The whole world should come together to prevent this and war between anybody. War is what breaks us as a whole, but we must put our differences aside, and come together to become strong no matter what we are, what we believe and think. Having lives in danger, human dignity being jeopardized, national borders and sensitivities becoming irrelevant letting this happen takes us nowhere in

    During the Holocaust, in the desperate times of the ‘30s and ‘40s, many people perished in the concentration camps of war. Hundreds upon hundreds of people either died of starvation, beatings, the cold, or were killed in cold blood. This was at a time when the Jewish faith was hated and despised, and Elie Wiesel, along with the many thousands of Jewish people, had to fight to either keep believing or just give up the religion that they had loved for so long. Before all the chaos and agony that was to come, in the beginning, Wiesel had loved his religion and so had his family and his mentor. That changed quickly, because soon after the religious community had been taken to the concentration camps, the Nazi’s would either end the lives of the…

    Elie Wiesel, a writer and survivor of the Holocaust, said the above words in 1986 upon accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Wiesel’s words touched upon a common question: How should a country respond to injustice abroad? It is a useful question. The social history of humanity is largely one of bloodshed and hate, only occasionally intersped with triumphs of justice.

This travesty involved torturing/experimenting on these groups until death in camps known as concentration camps. Consequently, this extermination of innocent groups has contributed to the idea that the Holocaust is a witch hunt.…
