The Holocaust: The Genocide Of The Jewish Race
The Holocaust: The Genocide of the Jewish Race (1933-1945)
"That is my major preoccupation memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it." (Wiesel, Elie). The Holocaust has synthesized uncountable horrors in the minds of those discriminated against as well as challenge the rest of the world to envision the torture, heartbreak, and ultimately death of its victims.
In 1933, the Treaty of Versailles left Germany in shambles. It was humiliating to the government to accept total responsibility for the lives of millions. Not only was their pride demolished, but Germany was sentenced to pay for the entire war. Germany 's economy plunged into an abyss. Much of Germany 's population …show more content…

All told, the senseless slaughter of millions of innocent lives at the hands of maniacal Nazi butchers will be inscribed in history forever and the holocaust should not be an event we dwell upon, but rather one we make sure never happens again. "I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." (Wiesel, Elie).
