The holocaust was a time of misery and death. It was one of the worst times in history. A mass murder of over 6 million Jews under the order of Adolf Hitler. But why did Hitler do this? Was this his plan all along or is that what he had to resort to in order to eliminate the inferior “race of the Jews?” Why he did he have such a strong belief in superiority of the German Aryan race? In in 1939, Hitler was in power in Nazi Germany. Jews feared for their lives. Simply walking down the street would mean a life or death situation. But how did it all start? Before Hitler rose to power, he was a simple man of his country. He joined the German army in World War 1 to support his country. After the loss of Germany in 1918, Hitler blamed the loss on

When Hitler began his reign, he started by building up the German army and discriminating towards Jews. To do this he used radio, television, and the newspapers.

Peaceful protesting is a good way to do this. Much less violent and actually makes a difference. It can get violent though because sometimes such big groups form that the police force has to intervene. But even this doesn’t stop people from getting what they want. The world is much different than it was before. Now there are rules that people must abide too. Of course there is countries that are still under a dictatorship like North Korea. But that’s a completely different thing because North Korea is closed off to the rest of the world. People there can only do so much and it saddens me to see that they worship a man that claims to have the power to cure cancer. I honestly can’t think of any way to resist there but defying their leader which is a dangerous thing to do. The only thing to do is let time take its course and hope for the best. Nazi Germany was in power for a long time, but it was finally overcome by time. Time is
