This movement was just one of the horrible…

The operation was called Kindertransport — Children's Transport — and it was a passage from hell to freedom. Kristallnacht had just rocked Nazi Germany. The pogroms killed dozens of Jews, burned hundreds of synagogues and imprisoned tens of thousands in concentration camps. Many historians see them as the start of Hitler's Final Solution. Amid the horror, Britain agreed to take in children threatened by the Nazi murder machine. Seventy-five years ago this week, the first group of kids arrived…

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. And Hiroshima; a stunning part of Japan that was bombed in response to Pearl Harbor. Casualties rising and blood spilling, the whole world is heating up to expect the very worst.…

first-person account in Document 7 by a man who personally gassed multiple Jewish women makes us wonder how people, even with Hitler’s propaganda, could allow such cruelty to take place.
