Though the third source focuses predominantly on the nationalistic feelings of Woodrow Wilson which caused the US to not join the League of Nations, thus making said League futile- world peace unattainable-, both sources insinuate that the Holocaust was a result of nationalism gone too far. Source one, though quite neutral, displays only the negative effects of nationalism, as when the Holocaust began, no other country intervened
Life takes place through series of causes and effects. For every decision made, a consequence occurs, either good or bad. In essence, history is an effect, and the consequences of people’s decisions are the cause. Many would say that death is the ultimate consequence. In the eyes of historians, only one period of time can truly express death as a worst-case scenario come true: the Holocaust. After World War 1, Hitler and the Nazi party rose to power in Germany, and the world is still feeling the
A defining cause of human rights violations across the world, identity has precipitated acts of violence in the name of intolerance in many different contexts. Interjected by force through agents of colonialism and rhetoric, the classification of individual identity has shifted towards a singular defining factor. This trend has marginalized groups throughout modern history, however, the process of reducing identity has impacted Jewish peoples in a frightening manner. An occurrence that caused the

technique to make the narrator’s voice sound childlike. This has a huge impact on us as readers and how we understand the novel. Including on relying on the reader to discover the deeper meaning of the novel, teaching us about consequences and also learning about the holocaust from a new perspective. By using childlike perspective Boyne leaves it to the reader to find the deeper meaning of the story. Different from most books; when reading ‘The Boy in the Striped Pajamas’ you really have to dig
argued, saying that The Merchant of Venice played a role in the holocaust, because it showed hatred towards Jews and the stereotype that Jewish people were evil. For example when Launcelot says, “Certainly the Jew is the very devil incarnation.” The question that many people ask is, what made those who helped during the resistance different than those who did nothing?

The Dallas Holocaust Museum is the the heart of downtown Dallas and is tucked away on a busy downtown street. This was my first time visiting the museum and it was an amazing experience.
