Hitler killed and tortured many innocent people, and gained a following known as the Nazis. World War II lasted six years in Europe, however many people didn’t anything about it for years. Today people have technology and can communicate with others in a matter of seconds. However in 1939 this technology was not available and that lead to people being in the dark to what really was happening. I think the world didn’t do anything because they were scared and thought it was unbelievable or because they didn’t know in the first place.
During WWII many thought the idea of the holocaust was impossible and crazy. In the book “Night” by Elie Wiesel, Moshe the beadle was deported before the rest of the Sighet Jews. Moshe the beadle somehow escapes the concentration camp and returns to warn the Sighet community about the horrible things the Nazis were doing. The community thought he was insane and took him for a lunatic. Elie and the community could not accept the holocaust because they were scared it might actually be happening. Moshe the beadle tried to help them and save them, but they pushed him away and told him he was a lunatic. Sometimes people do …show more content…

When Shlomo tried not to worry about their situation, everyone followed his lead. All Shlomo wanted was to keep the community calm and to not make things worse. Leaders like Shlomo usually try not to panic because if he panics then everyone panics. Shlomo convinced the community to stay quiet about the holocaust when they should not be. He may have thought that it was not truly real, and that people should not be concerned over something that probably won’t happen to them. Maybe he thought that since he has never heard of the Nazis before, it’s not a big deal, or the chances are probably slim for the Nazis to take them. I am sure Shlomo just wanted to protect the community, but bad things were happening and they didn’t do anything about

I think the author's purpose for writing this book is to not discriminate against people and what race or religion they are, to inform people who read the book about what happened during the holocaust and to show that some people were uninformed about what was actually going on during that time. In the book, Bruno, the main character, moves to a house right outside of the camp and meets a boy named Shmuel. Shmuel is on the other side of the fence, and Bruno does not understand that Shmuel is trapped and is being treated terribly. He also doesn’t see Shmuel as different, like most people did during the years of the holocaust, and I think that’s one way the author tried to tell us that not everyone was informed about what was actually going on,

The United States Government was very reluctant to take any type of action against the Nazi party for many reasons. During the Holocaust, the American government and its citizens were well aware of the human rights violations going on in Europe. During the Holocaust, the United States was also going through the Great Depression. The Great Depression and prejudice against immigrants made Americans unwilling to help.

As much as Hitler tried to keep it a secret people still knew about the murdering of millions of innocent people. There were signs even before the war from the German Labour camps six years before the war even started. Government and political leaders knew as early on in the war after German code was broken and didn’t expose what Germany was doing to the world. Not allowing refugees into allied countries, soldiers not doing all they could to help innocent people in concentration camps, and people not believing or helping were all contributing factors to the Holocaust. The whole world had resources to know what was happening and they did very little to help save Jewish people as they were a disliked race anyways.
