Really, for whoever is guilty of these crimes, which almost everyone at the time was in some way, there is no adequate punishment.  I suppose you could take their families out in the street and kill them slowly, but then we would be as bad as them.  There is no plausible way to punish these people for these crimes, so all we can do is protect the memories of the Jewish people who lost their lives in the war, and never let any atrocities like these happen again.

But how can we protest visible minorities from these sorts of things.  We have proven ourselves un-productive in protecting the Muslim, and Arab people from such persecution in light of September 11.  The Americans themselves have implemented strict guidelines reducing freedoms of people of Middle Eastern decent.  What is the world coming to?  We must prevent a second Holocaust from occurring by standing up against the strong to protect the weak.  We cannot allow people to be pushed around because of their beliefs or the actions of a few.  The more and more governments restrict the freedoms of specific groups of people the closer we come to a second Holocaust.

Hate crimes will continue until we make it unacceptable in our society to see any difference in people of different backgrounds other then our own.  Holocaust timeline A second holocaust can be prevented but only we can do it, and we must do it.
Blame.  It’s easy to pass, difficult to give, and near imposable to accept.

Things here in Germany are growing worse by the day.  The Nazi’s hate propaganda, and meaningless acts of violence are horrifying, and what’s worse, their ranks are swelling steadily by the day.

Today I witnessed a speech by a man by the name of Hitler.  It was truly horrifying.  There were thousands of people congregating and so I decided I’d go see just what was happening.  As it turns out I had stumbled in on a Nazi rally, where the man I mentioned, Hitler, was going to speak.  At first it was fairly peaceful.  Hitler spoke some on his 25-point program.

The 25-point program is something Hitler is trying to implement in Germany, basically striping foreigners and Jewish people of many of their freedoms.  Saying that no person not of German blood can be considered a member of the state.  This accordingly takes away basic necessities.  For example things like food, in times of famine will not be given to foreigners or Jewish people.

After Hitler had finished this he grew a little more passionate when he got on the topic of the war.  He said it was a disgrace to Germany, and pinned the blame for the loss on the non-patriotic nature of the Jewish people.  He said had they fought along side of the Germans instead of aiding the enemy victory would have been inevitable.  I later asked around and no one could think of any Jewish people who had aided the enemy, the people I asked said they just knew the Jewish people did.

The roar of the mass of people grew almost deafening when Hitler began to scream about how the Jewish people hated the Germans and how they were all plotting behind the backs of the people of Germany.  He called on the people to try to “convince” the Jewish people to aid the land that they were being “allowed” to live in by any means necessary holocaust dates.  Everyone was yelling and screaming, chanting Hitler’s name over and over.  I felt quite fortunate to escape with my life.

Things in Germany grow worse by the day and if I had the money I would return home immediately.  I fear soon there will be complete chaos and they will sweep through the towns killing anyone not of “true German blood” that they can find.  This frightens me immensely.

In Love,
