The prisoners were given food three times per day. Different factors that affects this is the nutritional value of the food they eat, which was normal in the concentration camp.

Something like the United Nations but better and stronger as a union of different countries. I believe creation this union would be a great way from stopping another event like the holocaust from happening again. As I recalled the concentration camps and the holocaust started by the idea of political, ideological, or racial opponents of the Nazi’s regime. This union can prevent the creation of any racial opponents between countries, religion, and beliefs. The creation of this union can also prevent conflicts between different nations. This is one way the world can prevent another tragic event like the holocaust from happening again. Another for preventing this form of event from happening again is to find a way of stopping violence and terrorist views against nation or people with different religious beliefs. The most effective way of preventing another holocaust is to prevent another genocide from taking place in this world ever again. In preventing genocide people should stop being driven by hatred to one another by irrational political leaders (Adolf Hitler). In doing this we can stop the events that happened in the past that caused the holocaust from happening in the first place. As I was saying earlier a union of nations (and their people) can prevent so called irrational leader such as Hitler to never have that much power to influence another holocaust event. Even our current president Barrack

Walter Dean Myers once stated that “One of the lessons learned during the Vietnam War was that the depiction of wounded soldiers, of coffins stacked higher than their living guards, had a negative effect on the viewing public. The military in Iraq specifically banned the photographing of wounded soldiers and coffins, thus sanitizing this terrible and bloody conflict.” The Vietnam War, fought in 1955 to 1975, was the longest war in American history. This war was a conflict between the Communist North Vietnam and its ally Viet Cong, and South Vietnam and its ally the United States. During the Vietnam war, tensions in the United States were extremely high.
