Holocaust Reflection

The Holocaust is definitely one of if not the worst, events that the world has ever gone through. One can't help but wonder "what made Hitler so dead set against the Jewish people?" More likely than not, nobody will ever know. The only thing we know for sure is that he was a power hungry racist who blamed everyone else for the problems that his country had encountered. Also, why did nobody in Germany step up and say something? The citizens just stood by in silence and allowed a countless number of people to die. Innocent people that were no worse than you or I. How could they live with themselves for doing that? I know that a lot of them played innocent and claimed that they had no idea what was going on and for a very small amount, that may have been true but for the vast majority? I guarantee you that its a load of BS. What happened to the Jews and the other innocent minorities that were put into the camps or had their families slaughtered for no reason is horrible. It's almost like some really bad nightmare that the world will never be able to wake up from because it happened, and it's left a stain on the true morals of the world, at least in my opinion. It really makes me wonder how people could be so prejudiced and so tyrannical that they would go so far as to join, support, or ignore the Nazi party. I guess it's not surprising considering how much discrimination and hatred there is in the world today and the people now are far more open minded and accepting than they were during that time. Honestly, as much as I sincerely and completely hope that it doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened still today. I don't think any group of people deserves to be treated that way, but who knows, they could be and maybe the people are just keeping quiet again. Silence was just as much of a killer during the Holocaust as the Nazis were.
