Reflection

Throughout this timeline I have learned a lot about the factors leading up to the Holocaust. I find it very important that we learn about the Holocaust because it was so inhumane and cruel that we should all know about it because we cant ignore the fact that people were murdered just because of their religion, mental disability, and so much more just to have pure German blood. It is just insane to believe that this event even happened in history because it is just disgusting on what Hitler and the Nazis did to people who weren't like them and went against them. People should have the freedom of religion and speech but sadly even today people still don't. There are still problems today on people who are different from us and I just don't understand why people are so cruel to each other when on the inside we are all just the same. It all started with Hitlers hate towards the Jews and it went way out of proportion to 6 million people were murdered all because one person was racist towards a religion that he blamed for WWI which was not their fault.
