Holocaust

The holocaust was something terrifying. Imagine seeing everyone go "missing" just because they are a certain race. This was a dark time for everyone except the Nazis, which were the main cause for this whole nightmare. There were a few warm hearted people who gave the people hope like, Oskar Schindler. He started working with the Nazis for money, but one day he was something horrible happen. He saw the Jewish being killed, and besides that they were being killed for everyone and anyone to see, including children. That made him change completely of perspective. He started using his money and "ways" to get the Nazi's to let him have Jews work for him. When they tried to take them away Schindler used all the money he could in order to bribe the Nazis. He saved 11,000 people. Despite all the ways people could've stood up, many didn't. One of the many reasons for becoming a bystander was because Nazis were powerful. They had weapons with them all the time. If they found out you were helping in anyway, they would kill you. If they didn't kill you they would torture you. People stood up to the Nazis because they knew this was inhumane, it wasn't right! If I were in this situation I would've tried to help but if I was putting my family in danger I wouldn't, not because I didn't care but because my family consists of a toddler and my parents. If I was living alone with a good home I would've tried everything to at least hide two or three. Some is better then none.
