Many guards didn’t have much choice in whether to guard the concentration camps or not, some of them even helped prisoners escape or avoid death by gas chambers. So, most of the Nazi guards weren’t guilty. Did the guards even like guarding camps like Auschwitz, or were they forced to? If you were a guard in WW2, there wasn’t much justice for you after the war as many of the families affected simply sued the guards for actions they didn’t want to do. Also

Security Council Resolution 827 established an international tribunal charged with prosecuting violations of international law arising from the armed conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.

The Nazis left a lasting legacy that is still felt around the world today. The Nazi past weighs most heavily on Germany and its citizens who still grapple today with what the Nazis mean to their identity. This struggle was much different in the years immediately following World War II and the subsequent creation of divided Germany than today.

There are many powerful leaders around the world that are one with the words, but one really stands out: Adolf Hitler. He was very persuasive and he used the power of words to his competence to make people stand beside him. Hitler was not a pleasant man, but he was a very astute one; he could convince so many people that Jewish people were ominous in a couple of short sentences.

The word genocide was created by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish lawyer who fled the Nazi of Poland and arrived in the United States in 1941.
