Should The Holocaust Let Genocide Happen Again

Decent Essays

Holocaust and genocide equal millions dead. We should have used the Holocaust as a learning moment to not let genocide happen again because of the horror that happened, and all those unnecessary deaths. In order to keep the Holocaust from happening again we need to go back and look at our past mistakes and learn from them to keep it from happening ever again.
Hitler didn’t have a high education level, yet he still got very far with his plans. “With a mixed record as a student, Hitler never advanced beyond a secondary education.”(1) Which means that he learned everything as he went. He shouldn’t have been smart enough to come up with his very strategic moves to get him the power he needed to eventually do what he had always intended to do. If …show more content…

“As an army political agent, he joined the small German Workers’ Party in Munich (September 1919).”(1) The German Workers’ party was like a small private club that met in secret to talk about different things. Which sounds like they were up to no good. “In 1920 he was put in charge of the party’s propaganda and left the army to devote himself to improving his position within the party, which in that year was renamed the National-sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (Nazi).”(1) That group was the start of something horrid. It was the start of the Nazi regime.

Herschel Grynszpan shot and killed Ernst Vom Rath, a German embassy official in Paris, in retaliation for the harsh treatment of his Jewish parents had received from the Nazis.”(2) This was not a smart idea because what happened after he did that was horrendous. The Germans retaliated in a big way. “Ninety Jews were killed, 500 synagogues were burned and most of the Jewish shops had their windows smashed.”(2) Innocent people died and their stores had smashed windows, they must have been terrified. “Spurred on by Joseph Goebbels, Nazis used the death of Vom Rath as an excuse to conduct the first state-run program against jews.”(2) If boy wouldn’t have done what he did all the tragedies that happened afterwards probably
