Justice In The Holocaust

290 Words2 Pages

I believe that many Holocaust survivors felt like justice was not achieved because hatred still exists today and people have not really recognized the same impact that the Holocaust inflicted, among some other reasons. Sadly, jokes are made about the Holocaust and people do not take it seriously. The impact the Holocaust had on the world was extremely profound. It nearly wiped out an the entire population of a race. I believe the reason that people cannot understand the Holocaust's effect on the world is because we are simply told numbers. 6 million Jewish citizens were killed. To put that in perspective, about 6 million people live in El Salvador. More people were killed in the Holocaust than the population of New Zealand, Denmark, or Finland. Another reason is because many of the people following Hitler did not pay a price for their actions. …show more content…

Justice to me means balance. If a wrong is done, it takes justice to make that wrong even. Justice is like a scale. I do not believe justice will every be granted. I believe this because of the amount of damage that the Holocaust inflicted. The amount of people who were involved in the Holocaust was so immense, that I highly doubt justice could be served to everyone. If everyone could recognize how terrible the Holocaust was, everyone may be able to help out and distribute justice. However, I believe many people cannot comprehend the magnitude of such an event or simply do not want to think about it. If everyone could work together we could stop hate in our world. That would be the greatest amount of justice to be given, to rid our world of

    From the knowledge from what I know about the Holocaust nobody knew it knew the extent of what was going on until it was too late. Eventually the American Army liberated the camps that were left at that time. Nobody was really letting it happen because nobody knew exactly what was happening. The world knew that the Holocaust was happening but for example, nobody knew that they were burning bodies for no reason. Now days we know the extent of how horrible things were happening.

    Not many people today could imagine the pain and suffering that millions of innocent Jews had gone through during the Holocaust. It’s something that people tend to not think about and bury it in the back of their minds. The brutal truth, though, is that these events did happen. Millions of innocent women and children were murdered, men and boys were starved, and it seemed like all hope was lost. As much as we resent it, we need to think about it sometimes, so that we do not make the same mistakes in the future.

    The Holocaust lasted for four years, a mass genocide executed by Nazi Germany, with the goal to eradicate all Jews. Six million Jews were successfully murdered, and hardly anyone lifted a finger to help the thousands killed daily. Elie Wiesel was right in saying that 'Being a neutral bystander helps those who are evil; that remaining silent encourages even more evil to happen '. This is true, since evil always comes back and causes so many people so much pain.

    Reading about the Final Solution is like reading a fiction psychothriller novel. Jewish inmates at Auschwitz were treated like corpses or animals, and German doctors freely practiced medical procedures on them. Every time I study the Holocaust, I find it impossible to believe that people were this heartless and inhumane. However, I realized that the Holocaust isn't truly about the cruelty of individuals, or even all of Germany. It exemplifies the nature of the human race and our susceptibility to cruelty and mob mentality, especially when faced with our own adversities.

    “No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them” (Wiesel). The atrocities of the Holocaust were horrible and grotesque, and even today people continue to wonder with pessimistic awe what the persecuted people of the Holocaust era had to endure. We all try and “put ourselves in survivors’ shoes” as a way of showing sympathy and kindness, but in reality, we can’t do that.
