The Holocaust

The Holocaust was an event that showed the true brutality and ignorance of a group of people that felt it was right to not only to discriminate, but to eliminate a vast group of people throughout Germany. Weakened and depressed, the greater population was in dyer need of a strong leader to pull them from the rubble. Germany turned to Adolf Hitler. He was a charismatic speaker and a brutal leader using the Jewish population as a scapegoat for the problems within Germany. He was tactical and methodical in many ways, however, he was wrong in more ways than one. The Jews did nothing to cause grief within the German borders, however, they were stereotyped and formed into victims by distinguished physical traits. In history, discrimination roots from ignorance. People must realize and understand their peers prior to forming an opinion about them.
