Even before World War I the Jewish people faced hardship. Since the death of Jesus Christ they have been prosecuted, especially in Europe. Prejudice and immoral acts had been committed against the Jewish people for over 1900 years before the time of Hitler.

During the first stages of World War I the suffering for the Jewish people grew even greater. The Nazis forced them into small ghettos, where the Jewish people were crowded in small houses and given just enough food to survive. It was a routine thing for S.S. soldiers to march into these ghettos and open fire on any of the Jewish people they saw. If you think this is bad the Jewish people were just here to wait until they were brought to the Nazi prison camps.

Everything about the prison camps was horrible, even the trip there. The Nazis would come to the ghettos and round up a large group of Jewish people. The Jewish people would be packed into a truck and anyone not in the truck was forced to run behind it. If anyone running fell no one could help them p, and the soldiers would shoot them on sight. When the truck reached it destination, the train station, the Jewish people would be packed, standing up into a boxcar, there was not even any room to sit. The train ride would last for days and many people died on the ride because we were not fed or given water. When we got off the train the terror really began.

The Jewish people were divided into two groups. One group was the young fit men, and the other was the women, children, old, and sick. The later group was immediately brought to the gas chamber and killed, but they were the lucky ones. The men were forced to work in awful conditions, and were poorly fed. The men worked just long enough, about three months, for them to become weak, and thus useless. They then joined the women and children to be gassed. The men that did the particularly awful jobs like cremating the bodies of their dead brothers were promised more food and their lives, but the Nazis were deceiving them.

Some of the most heinous crimes known to man were committed in these holocaust concentration camps. The Nazis showed here that they were truly a disgusting, evil race. What an awful life it must have been for the Jewish people.

How are people so evil? Everyone that isn’t evil seems to be clueless to what they are doing.

Peace. What a wonderful thought, we’ve been striving for it for millions of years now, but has it come? No! We need to stop thinking of peace as the only choice. With every act of submission we make towards Germany peace doesn’t come closer, it becomes less obtainable.

Germany is trying to once again take control of the world; we cannot stand idly by and let this happen. We must fight the tyranny. We must fight the oppression. We must fight Hitler. The Nazis cannot win, they must not. We must not yield to them. Violence is rarely the answer, but here it is the only choice.

Peace will come when one of two things happen, when we beat the Germans into the ground and don’t let them up, or when they do the same to us. It’s a dog eat dog world. Only one can survive, will it be them or us?

If Germany is allowed to enter Czechoslovakia untouched then nothing will stop them from trying their luck with France, and then England, and then the world will be theirs, this is something we cannot allow to happen, we will not allow to happen. We have two choices stand and fight, maybe die, or we can run and live, for a while at least, but one day when your sitting at home do you want to be teaching your grandchildren that their parents were killed standing up to Nazis. Perhaps though you would rather have your children tell them you died saving them from the Nazis like a hero. I know what I will choose.

God bless,

When people stand by and watch things happen they are helping weather they think so or not. I just now had an epiphany that that was the real problem with Canada’s stand in Iraq. I have never supported the war in Iraq, and never will, but by standing on the sidelines we are almost standing with Iraq. holocaust concentration camps
