The Holocaust: The Aggressor Of The Holocaust
When people hear the word genocide, the first thing that comes to their mind is probably The Holocaust; unfortunately there are many more genocides that not many people know about. The Holocaust was a tragic genocide in which six million Jews were murdered by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi soldiers, and for what reason? Sadly there is no valid reason other than the fact that they were just Jewish and Hitler didn’t like that. Genocide is when a large group of people are murdered because of their beliefs or their ethnicity. Even gays have been murdered in genocides. Hitler was the aggressor of the Holocaust but he didn’t do it all alone. He had thousands of followers that were brainwashed by him called Nazis.

There is a famous story about a man named Jan Karski. They call him “The man who tried to stop the Holocaust”. Karski was a Polish diplomat who tried to tell the world about the Holocaust in 1942. Sadly, no one listened to him. He worked in Poland during World War II and went to the Warsaw Ghetto where many Jews were being kept and smuggled himself into a concentration camp. He was also a courier and relayed messages to France, Britain, and Poland. One time he was arrested by the Gestapo and was severely tortured. He tried to commit suicide by slitting his wrists so he wouldn’t have to talk but he was saved and taken to the hospital from which he was smuggled out of. The Darfur genocide has almost been forgotten and not much has been done to try and stop it. There have only been about 7,000 African soldiers sent out to try and control things but that isn’t even close to enough. There are several charities set up to help their condition but donating money isn’t going to do much to stop
