Holocaust

I don't think that it effects me because I'm not Jewish nor German so none of my family was killed in the holocaust nor was involved in it. It does effect me mentally tho, because if you think about everything that had happened like how they were killed and how they were tortured it was all done in messed up ways. Like for example in Auschwitz-Birkenau at least 960,000 Jews were killed and other victims such as approximately 74,000 Poles, 21,000 Roma/Gypsies and 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war. Also 10,000-15,000 members of other nationalities such as soviet civilians, Czechs, Yugoslavs, French, Germans, and Austrians were killed as well. Those numbers just can kill someone in side just to think that all the Germans didn't have a very good heart to not kill them. in my opinion i think that if all the Jews had gotten together and formed an alliance they could have stopped Hitler from killing so many people. it would be risking there lives but it would be for something good rather than evil like was Hitler was doing. That's how i feel about it.
