Discrimination Against The Holocaust

Has our society overcome the Holocaust? A time period were more than six million Jews were persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime and its collaborators in Germany because of their religion. It’s very unlikely. More than seventy years after the end of the Holocaust, our society still mistreats and excludes people because of their religion, culture, skin color or gender. These discriminating and prejudiced acts are reprehensible and should be banned from our society. In this paper, we will discuss different forms of discrimination and prejudices and how they affect our society and our way of life.

In view of the above, it is obvious that our society haven’t been able to overcome discrimination nor prejudice. The Holocaust was such a graphic, brutal and unforgiving time in history where millions of people died because of their race or religion, that a reasonable person may think that our society learned from its mistakes and therefore treats all people equally no matter its race, gender, color, or religion.
