This is one of the worst atrocities that history has to…

Racism, ableism, and homophobia can be found in many cultures, with many specific incidents scattered across several centuries. Three examples of the persecution of a marginalized group of people include the hunting of the Romani people in Medieval Europe, the widespread Nazi euthanasia campaign that targeted people with physical and mental…

During World War II, Nazi Germany rose to power under Adolf Hitler’s ruling and utilized different mediums of propaganda such as illustrations, music, and film to portray the Jewish people as greedy and to dehumanize them as rats.

Hitler used concentration camps, Trump uses prisons, and lastly, Donald Trump used to keep a copy of Hitler 's sequel to Mein Kampf by his bed. The rise of Nazism gave way to World War Two.
