Holocaust Persuasive Essay

518 Words3 Pages

Time can no change your actions and what those actions caused for others. If you successfully evade those who wish to fairly punish you for your actions, you should not be rewarded with them giving up the search for you. This is the premise for the debate for whether or not the nazi soldiers who participated in the Holocaust. The arm of the law does not care how old you are or when you commited the crime. This is why we must continue to pursue the nazis who participated in the war. Believe it or not, there are a good many people who deny the Holocaust ever happened. If the men who partook in it were tracked down and their respective trials were made public then it would be harder to deny such a thing. “He adds that it’s also an important …show more content…

If such an organized and terrible at is allowed to be forgotten then it becomes possible for it to happen again, which is something that nobody should want to happen again. When people do things that are bad and get away with it, then others think that that makes it okay for them to do the same. This applies to the nazi soldiers who participated in the massive genocide event, the Holocaust. “If we want to prevent future crimes of the scope of the Holocaust, it has to be crystal-clear that persons who commit such crimes will almost certainly be caught and punished(cnn.com).” A nazi hunter who was interviewed brings up this exact point, some people should not be allowed to get away with crimes while others get punished for them. Some people may believe that their age makes it not worth the effort to track them down and persecute them for what they took part in. Even if they get found, tried, convicted, and put in jail but do not learn their lesson it would still be worth it.

    But to have a book written with such detail that the Holocaust existed just for kicks is absurd, plus Elie Wiesel was a real man, and his book proves that he had to have suffered a holocaust and its consequences. The book states that his father died and his father was dead after WWII, and the description of Auschwitz matches with photos from WWII once again proving that he was there. And what about all the photos of hundred of bodies piled up inside a barb wire surrounded village. How can anyone get passed the fact that back then photos could not be processed like they are today. Also hundreds of Allied soldiers gave accounts of what they found in german camps throughout Europe, it's just impossible to get thousands of people to tell the same lie.

According to him, "[Hitler] wanted to cancel out the “negative selection” that wartime casualties would mean for the Aryan race by accompanying the inevitable attrition of young, vital, and fit Germans with the compulsory reduction of the number of those who were genetically deficient” (Hayes 116).

Condemned for desertion and cowardice in the face of the enemy. Jews too are the enemy—that’s just the way it is.’”
