The Holocaust




I think it is right to take risks only if friends and maybe relatives help. They still saved the Jews, even though they knew hows risky it was and what the consequences might be. They took risks because there ancestors were protestants. Another interesting fact is if you just accept things the way they are you can definitely not improve. You should always stand up for what you believe in and never give up stand up for it until you have confirmed you victory. If you don't stand up for it the enemy will be the victorious one.

However, the consequences are terrible. You can go to jail, be prosecuted and killed. Prejudice and Bias are usually created when there is already a sense of resentment to the enemy but is helped to grow with the help of propaganda's, ignorance and fear. To over come Prejudice and Bias you need to stop being "Ignorant" and see the enemy. Some people have strong and willing hearts while others don't really care about what happens also known as "Ignorant". An example of ignorant would be "Kotler" from the "Boy In The Striped Pajamas"

I think we should still be learning about the book the Boy In The Striped Pajamas because these things might re-occur. It is also a good book because it is challenging and it also provides plenty of information about the Nazi time and the holocaust. Over all it is a great subject and probabaly the best unit we've took this year.
