Everyone has a hatred towards something or someone and that is perfectly normal.

Out of the four units we studied, the Holocaust was the most brutal because they were all very true facts. There were so many occurences of hatred throughout the Holocaust. Killing Jews just because they weren’t like you is not okay at all. The way Hitler and the Nazis treated them was unbelievable. They didn’t care that they were actually people too.
