Reflection 15

The Holocaust was a terrible crime done upon the human race. Jews were treated like vermin and disregarded as a race itself. They were considered sub-human in the eyes if Nazi Germany. Sub-humans are weak, thieves, money hungry, corrupt and above all else, impure. Nazi Germans saw themselves as the only ones who can rid the world of these leeches. Whenever I read something in relation to the Holocaust, I can’t help but feel ashamed and hurt. How can human beings do such a thing? How can human beings watch the torture they ensued upon the Jews? They were throw into gas chambers the resembled a bath house. Jewish women and children were deceived into believing they were finally going to take a shower. The Germans would watch as the women and children suffocated to death. Claw marks are still seen in the concrete walls for the gas chambers today. They were thrown into small barracks filled with sickness and lice. They hurt and dying were sent to the “doctor” in the concentration camps. The doctor would then do false amputations and give them medicines The Jews were used as lab rats to test effects of chemicals and other medical things. They would burn them with acids and leave them to die. This doctor did nothing to try and save them. He would then make his diagnosis and either send him back to his barrack or send him to the crematorium. Inside here, Jews were burned alive, skinned to make soap or paper. This grotesque action would make anyone squirm in their seats. I get a horrible feeling at the pit of my stomach when I read about all these monstrous actions. What kills me the most is the fact that people think this did not happen. That the Holocaust was just set on a Hollywood stage to bring support to the war. To these people, all I have to say is that they need help. How can you deny so much evidence and documents that fully support the truth? Just because of the intensity, doesn’t mean that human beings are capable of such genocide. They should be encouraged to take a history class and be engulfed in the truth. The most amazing thing about the holocaust is that the Jews just didn’t give up. Still today, they are not keen to let anyone forget the past. They know they didn’t deserve this destruction and ill treatment among their people. They knew “Jew” was not a race, but a religious belief. They ultimately belonged to the one TRUE race, the human race.
