The Holocaust

The Holocaust was the extermination of the Jews during the Nazi period. This situation was a terrible devastation for the Jew community... It was horrible how the Nazis couldnt tolerate other beliefs and religions and how they took advantage of their power in the meanest way the could! But in my personal opinion the worst part of the Holocaust was how the Jews were sent to concentration camps just because they had different beliefs, people arent suppose to the punished just because they dont share your same religion. I cant explain how someone could act so indifferent to pain... How could they just separate families? Or kill children in front of their parents? Or hurt them by kicking or punching them and even taking their tooth and nails out? How could they see children dying of hunger or of so many hard work?
When ever I think of the Holocaust I realize how painful, devastating, and horrible war and intolerant people are! I just cant explain how people can be so extremely mean but at the same time I realize how brave and perseverant the Jews were and aways kept believing...
