Why did the world not come to the aid of the Jews during World War ll? Why is it still happening today? These are the questions we ask when we think about the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a terrible event that killed over 6 million people just because of their race. The race you are or the religion you practice shouldnt determine life or death. The Holocaust was a horrific event. During the Holocaust families could be put in gas chambers, to watch each other die. Watching my family die right in front of me would be so traumatizing. Someone you have stood up to help them, those innocent people should not have died. Some People believe that the Holocaust was just a myth.

Genocide happened many times before the Holocaust and has happened since. The Holocaust will and should remain a constant reminder of what can happen when we discriminate against others. Holocaust was a dreadful event that should never take place again. The aim of the modern society is not only to prevent any possible social, political or cultural rejection that can be directed on the Jews but also to eliminate any kind of injustice towards this nation. Holocaust was a real and terrifying fact, a fact of the Nazis attempting to start a total physical genocide .The Holocaust may be vied as a lesson of what we should never repeat. And our society should observe what changes Holocaust brought and learn that the only possible way to achieve a goal is being equal.
