Justice In The Holocaust

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.

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.

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
