World War II left a permanent mark on the world. Gunshots could not be taken back and people are not disposable. That fact had to be set aside in order to defend what we believed in. The Holocaust; a destructive battle that the Jews would fight for with their lives. Hitler taking over Europe one country at a time.

Pearl Harbor, the event that lead to Hiroshima, happened on December 7, 1941. Hiroshima itself actually happened on August 6, 1945. The Holocaust lasted from January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945. With these events happening in a similar time frame, it could be inferred that similar weapons and strategies were
