To Resist Hitler and Survive response

The Holocaust is one of the most well known events not only in Germany alone, but throughout the whole world. It was absolutely devastating in every way imaginable and cost thousands their lives. The money spent on memorials is past the millions, which it should be. It is nice to see people commemorate those who suffered during this hard time, for they deserve it. I can't even believe the Nazi's could be so brutal. How could anyone not have any sorrow for killing their own kind? I have always been fascinated with the Holocaust so this article sparked my interest. I did not know that people hang wreaths on their doors as their own memorial. It was a very sad time but also brought out the best in some people. Those laying down their own lives so someone else could survive and speaking out against the things they did not believe in. I agree with the author when she talks about not only honoring the victims but also the people who worked to stop rise of Hitler. Their efforts were great and they stopped at nothing. I am glad I picked this article because it helped me to learn some new things. The Holocaust was a terrible event, but many extraordinary people helped to bring it to an end.

  1. I agree. One person that comes to mind is Oskar schindler.He single handedly saved more than a thousand jewish people right in front of the nazis. He also has a memorial in his name like the other heroes of the holocaust.
