The holocaust and the Crucible had similar human characteristics. The holocaust was led by Adolf Hitler who at the time declared himself in charge. He wanted all the Jews gone so he killed them or put them in a concentration camp. The crucible was about the people and the court wanting all the witches to be gone. They are both about completely different stories but they have a lot of human characteristics that are a like.

For the holocaust, Hitler got people on his side. Once one person started following and listening to him, others did too. Everyone that followed a different religion except for Jewish listened to Hitler and started doing everything he told them to do. The Crucible had the same thing happening. In Act 1, Tituaba says, “And then he come one stormy night to me, and he say, look I have white people belong to me.

In the Crucible, many people would lie to save their name. “Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because its my life and sign myself to lies! How may I live without my name!” This is someone from the play saying how her name and reuputation is very important and nothing will change that. Also, an example about this from The Crucible would be when Abigail lied about sleeping with John Proctor. She couldn’t give up her name in the town and she didn’t want too. She lied about it and decided that her reputation was more important then what’s right to do. The Crucible and the holocaust both have people valuing their reputation above the truth and what’s
