In English, we have been doing a unit on the Holocaust. Before this unit, I only knew the basic aspects of the Holocaust. I really didn't know how bad the people were treated. Through this unit, I have learned that it wasn't just Jews that were put in the concentration camps. Homosexuals, Greeks, and Gypsies were sent there as well. Through this, I have just been dismayed at how someone could hate a group of people so much that they would want them all dead. I just don't understand how a human being could do something like that to that many people and nobody notice. I have been trying to figure out how nobody noticed. I wonder if people didn't notice or if people just turned their heads on that idea. I think that people weren't really looking for an answer as to why the Jews were being taken because it was supposed to be making their lives better. I have learned a lot through this unit in class but it also has made me think more about what the others who lived during this time were doing to help them if they were doing anything at all.
