Intolerance In The Holocaust

How would you feel if you were treated unfairly because of the color of your skin, or your religion? People all over the world face this unfair intolerance. The definition of intolerance is unable or unwilling to endure. This means that not all people can handle the fact that others are different, so it causes them to show hostility to a certain group or race of people. In our world, there has been many cases of people showing intolerance in the past, and present to a group of people. The past has seen many cases of intolerance. One of the biggest cases was the Holocaust. The Holocaust had Adolf Hitler trying to wipe out every single Jew on the face of the Earth. He also targeted the Polish people, and homosexuals. People of these races plus more, were sent to concentration camps and brutally worked until they were incapable of doing so. This all happened because Hitler was intolerant toward the Jews, Polish, and homosexuals. Another example of intolerance is back in the 1960s with the Ku Klux Klan. This was a group of the people that couldn’t stand any black human being. They would burn crosses, and even go out and murder the first African-American they laid their eyes upon. This group sent messages that encouraged racism and that black people were inferior to the white race. This shows how the Ku Klux Klan were intolerant to the black race. A final example also deals with the African-American race, and that is slavery. The white people thought they were a superior race and made the blacks do all of the work for them. African-Americans did all of the work, but they were barely paid a dime. The white race took credit for all of the work the black people did. Even after slavery was abolished blacks were still treating unfairly. In southern countries they had segregated schools, restaurants, and even water fountains. The African-Americans were not given the same opportunities as the white people. They were given the worst equipment to work with, while the whites got all of the top of the line products. This shows how the white people were intolerant to the black race because they wouldn’t let anyone of that race be associated with themselves. All of these examples show how certain people have targeted or avoided a certain race just because of the fact that they are different. …show more content…
First off, I personally see intolerance towards our president Donald Trump. Even though he may not be the greatest of all time when it comes to presidents, I see that not all people have given him a chance. On the news I constantly hear that certain member of the government won’t attend meetings or events simply because they don’t like the president. In our country we need everyone to give each other a chance if we are going to get anything done. In school, cases of intolerance are imminent. There will always be kids who don’t want to be associated with a certain group because they are considered nerds, or non-popular. When this happens I see kids get made fun of simply because they don’t fit the expectations that the other student has set for the other students to live up to. Intolerance has been in this world ever since we first walked the Earth, but we have to make strides to rid the world of
