    Don’t Judge During the Holocaust I think that what caused people to treat others so badly was that some people thought, other people weren't worth enough. They treated them as if they weren’t nothing. In today's society we still have people that treat others badly by race.…

    As anyone like myself who has heard of the Holocaust era, we can only imagine what a devastating and tragic time that must’ve been for the Jewish people. Imagine being torn away from your families and your basic necessities, and then thrown into captivity for no plausible reason. Then tortured like you were some kind of criminal who deserved to be mistreated and dehumanized. As I hear more about this horrific event that took place and listen to stories from some of the victims, I can’t help but question how and why something this despicable went unnoticed for so long in the first place. How were the Germans allowed to get away with this kind of abuse without anyone interfering and preventing this from happening?…

    The history of The Holocaust raises challenging questions about our responsibilities as a nation to offer refuge and rescue to persecuted people from beyond our borders. America, land of the refuge, offered little assistance to victims under Hitler’s control. American Christians forgot about the Good Samaritan. Even American Jews lacked the sense of urgency the crisis demanded. The Nazis were murderers, but we were all too passive accomplices.…

    H. Henry Sianson said that he, “Lived in Berlin...lived like a normal German… Conservative Jew… observed Jewish laws…”. Margaret Lambert said, “... never made a difference if you were a Jew or a non-Jew.” These quotes elaborate on the fact that Jews were quite normal citizens before 1933, before the reign of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazis. Drawing a conclusion, from quotes said by the survivors, many may say that Holocaust just appeared with the reign of Adolf Hitler, without any real preparation. However, those people are completely wrong, as the Holocaust ( or ‘Shoah’ in Hebrew) could never have happened without preparation of antisemitism, or prejudice or discrimination of Jews, over one thousand years.…

    Tolerance undoubtedly involves “the question of right or wrong.” In fact, one can debate that tolerance is not always the answer to “the question of right or wrong.” For example, those who tolerate racism do not necessarily believe racism is right. However, if those who tolerate racism do not proclaim that racism is wrong, then they will be drowned out by the voices of those who say that racism is right. How will one know that racism is wrong if they never hear racism is wrong?…
