These were more of working camps, but still, out of all of those, only six of them were used specifically for actually working the Jews to death. Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, as well as Treblinka were quite large, but none of those five are as large or as infamous as the Auschwitz death camp. Through the beginning of the 1941 to around 1945, the camp has gone from 835 square feet of absolute horror to true historical suffering and terror that won’t, and shouldn’t, be forgotten.…

"There bodies cast to the side like garbage, left to rot in the sun". The sheer hatred that both groups of antagonists (Hutus and Nazis) had towards the opposing class was insane. Both genocides were not only almost unfathomable in scale, but also extremely efficient. In the Holocaust many neighbors and friends sold others out to the Nazis just like how those in Rwanda went to kill their neighbors. Both of the excerpts contain many differences and similarities between the details of the genocides…

One question many people have after learning about the Holocaust is “Have we learned anything from this horrible event?” Although America fought against this atrocity, in many ways we helped bring these types of ideas to Germany. In a post-World War II world, our country has faced many challenges when it comes to viewing certain people and races unequal to others.

The idea that laws and principles in the United States influenced the Holocaust and that the actions of law enforcement still reflect these values today may seem inflated, but this may be closer to fact than one may believe.…
