Every year in grade school, we remember the tragedy of the Holocaust but we never talk about why it was allowed to get as far as it got or why no one tried to stop the dehumanization of Jews. In someways, even though I despised what happened during WWII, I have developed the mentally “things happen.” This shouldn’t be the mentality of anyone because the only way to make sure that it doesn’t happen again is to be aware of what is going on. Things don’t just happen, we allow them to happen.
