What do you think about the holocaust? I think it's a time to remember because of all the terrible things that happened. The holocaust is a time to remember because of all the terrible things that happened to families and you can represent it by showing peace. What is your opinion about this quote, “A prepertrater is not the most dangerous enemy. The most dangerous part is the bystander because neutrality always helps the killer.” I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because in the passage that Elie Wiesel wrote (A holocaust survivor) it talks about how he was a holocaust survivor and what a tough time it was like. I agree with that quote because the person that carries out the harmful things is really and truthfully not the most

After reading the memoir Night by Elie Weisel, I wanted to compare this event to a present-day one happening as I write this essay. I decided to compare the people who caused such an event; the Nazi Party; to ISIS (Their full name is Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), a terrorist organization and militant group in parts of Iraq and Syria. Although these groups are very different, they share many common goals and ideals. Although the Nazi Party's crimes will stay branded into our memories forever, ISIS is a growing problem that the United States and other countries are getting more and more involved in fighting against them. I shall now compare the two organizations.

We must also think about the people who have lived through the holocaust and how hard it has been for them to come back into society after seeing the things they saw, most at a very young age.

The theme music is evident in "The Violinist of Auschwitz'' by Walter Melnyk, and Night by Elie Wiesel. The theme music that is represented in both the excerpt and the poem is supposed to express a way of hope to the people, and make them believe.

Being a very big fan Author Elie Wiesel , hearing his interpretation of what he went through as young child fighting for his life during the climax of the holocaust. The emotion in face when describing each event and disgusting as everything might have sound i felt a bit of joy. I say this because for him to find closure and be able to look back at that time in his life as motivation to keep on living is just….outstanding in my opinion. Now of course i have deep anger for the holocaust as well as those deeply involved , not only for the mass genocide of a people but because i have friended many people who are jewish as well as have jewish grandparents who have lived long lives. Every level in school we’re taught of about how bad and terrible

The Holocaust was a horrible happening that caused many innocent Jewish people to be forced out of their homes with nothing but a sack of their belongings. They were separated from their families, stripped of their rights and their names, and some even watched their loved ones die. When i think about the U.S. and how we responded to these poor people, when all they needed was a place to stay i can’t believe the decisions we made. As an adolescent many things can be gathered from how the world reacted during the holocaust such as, the bystander effect were we the bystanders in this situation? Also I can learn to not wait till the last moment to do something, or to not wait till something happens to make a move or to fight back.

We should always remember the Holocaust because it is a crucial part of our history that changed the world and formed many of the ideas we still believe in today. When Hitler started attacking the Jews and not just discouraging their acceptance people started reevaluating their feelings and beliefs. He wasn’t just attacking the Jews though he was basically killing off anyone who didn’t have blond hair and blue eyes. As well as Jehovah’s Witness and Romas (Gypsies). The Holocaust made a lot of people think hard, I mean how would they react if they were the ones being attacked?
