Who to “Blame” for the Holocaust

Who really is to blame for the Holocaust?  The truth be told you really can’t blame anyone specifically.  You could blame the people of Germany at the time who sat idly by as the Jewish people were killed by the millions.  You could blame the soldiers who carried out these acts of malicious violence.  You could blame the soldier’s commanding officers, or their commanding officers’ commanding officers for giving the orders to exterminate the Jewish people.  You could blame Hitler for spreading the message of great hate over the land.  You could even blame the whole European anti-semantic culture for having almost 2000 years of hate directed towards the Jewish people.  The only people you really can’t blame in some way is the Jewish people themselves.

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.
