WWII / Auschwitz

Leave a comment

I do not know much about the Nazi concentration camps of World War II. The only thing I do know is that they were bad and that it involved a forced incarceration of labor and/or eventual death of the Jewish peoples. The most exposure I’ve gotten with regards to how truly awful the events were, of having to go through all that torture, humiliation, and loss was in class when we watched some survivors speak on their experiences in Auschwitz.

The severity of the cruelty that went on is outright wrong on several levels. It is a wonder why the people, as a whole, did not revolt against this awful genocide. Moreover, how were the human beings that were inflicting such violence and murder upon hundreds of thousands of innocent people able to carry out an order to torture and kill other human beings, even though those people have caused them no harm.
