Jews were specifically chosen to be killed by the Nazis. The Nazis also killed gypsies, homosexuals, etc., but they were trying to completely erase the "race" of the Jews. According to Six Million Crucifixions, most Germans were raised to naturally hate and blame Jews ("The Holocaust"). Hitler blamed the Jews for everything, including the loss of World War I, and most people saw them as different, so they pointed the finger at them and blamed them for all the chaos that happened in Germany ( “The Holocaust”). According to A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust, Hitler adopted the Nuremberg Laws, which described who was Jewish ("victims"). Some people who weren't even Jewish were suspected by the Nazis because of the laws he passed ("Victims"). In my opinion, this was obviously unfair to the Jews, because no one listened to them. Children are told to always obey their parents and listen to what they have to say, so you can see how quickly this view of hating Jews has spread. When you're little, you don't know politics. Since you don't know anything about politics, it's common to follow what your parents think since they are older and wiser. This same kind of process happened in Germany during the Holocaust. Most little kids didn't know much about the Nazis or Hitler, so they followed what their parents told them. Parents told their children whatever the Nazis told them to tell their children. So the children grew up loving Hitler and hating the Jews. If you were raised to believe a certain thing, you won't understand anything different. For example, if I came to you and told you that pigs can fly, you wouldn't believe me because you were always told that pigs could never fly...... middle of paper .... .. some of them should have thought about it a little more. People also gave in to peer pressure when they believed rumors about Jews. Rumors were circulating about the wickedness of the Jews, and no one gave them a chance. Obviously, it was Hitler's fault for setting up this plan. Personally, I think the Germans should also be held responsible. The Holocaust was a very terrible time in history, and that is something we can learn from today. Works Cited “The German Churches and the Nazi State.” United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
