The Holocaust was a man made historic calamity that is important to our relationship as humans and as the most superior of being created by God. We are the only species known to create intentional disaster, to yearn for an unnatural, subhuman, act of betrayal to our fellow human. I cannot even begin to fathom how a man can be possessed with such an amount of hate for a single religion to commit such destruction by convincing the minds of one nation.
The Holocaust is what my humanities class is learning, reviewing, and trying to understand. We've read The Wave, a novel by Todd Strasser en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(book) to develop a theory on how the Holocaust could have conceived itself and all it's supporters, we've studied Voices of The Holocaust voices.iit.edu/ to enhance our knowledge about the victims of this tragedy, we've read Maus 2 by Art Speigelman to interpret this complex graphic novel, we have watched acceptable excerpts from Shindler's List and even then I am still aware that i have and will never experience such a horrific event like the Holocaust. I have an essay due on Monday that I have already finished luckily and in it we were to demonstrate what we each learned to answer our essential questions (How could the Holocaust happen?, How were victims oppressed?, Were there resisters?, and Why remember?) by using only Voices of the Holocaust as our refrence and source.
