Today we wonder how people similar to ourselves could have allowed this. Just as extremely destructive storms develop from a unique convergence of factors, the Holocaust could not have occurred without The convergence of three factors: German anger, Hitler’s election, and Joseph Goebbels propaganda.

If Goldhagen’s work is a more accurate description of the true motivations of the German people of the time, it would undermine

On a ride to a camp in central Germany, German citizens decide to amuse themselves by throwing bread to the starving Jews, who scramble madly for every crumb. One man manages to find himself a rather sizable piece, but is killed by his own son before he can eat it, crying “Meir, my little Meir! Don’t you recognize me . . . You’re

Since the Holocaust, leaders and lawmakers in the United States have analyzed the causes that led to this event and designed laws and documents to prevent such an infraction of human rights from happening again. The long-lasting effects of the Holocaust, which expose the dangers of America’s isolation and conservative immigration policies, contribute to the liberalization of American immigration and increased worldwide instances of United States humanitarian intervention.

Among the estimated 45-60 million people killed were 6 million Jews murdered in Nazi concentration camps as part of Hitler’s diabolical “Final Solution,” now known as the Holocaust.

Origins of Hostility toward Jews In the aftermath of World War I, Germany remained in turmoil throughout the 1920s, providing
