Six million Jews plus were completely wiped out due to the effects of the Holocaust. It is still unforgivable for the things the Nazi party did and still a very questionable subject on how they were able to accomplish such a devastating feat. To be able to organize the removal of an entire population of people based on their religion not only takes high intelligence, but most of all takes a very twisted and demented outlook on life. To think of what the Nazi's had to be thinking is sickening. Then how helpless and scared the Jewish people had to feel. Then out of all the death and chaos a great man has the strength and courage to make a stand. Oscar Schindler, although involved with the main problem the Nazi's, is able to overcome it and do everything in his power to save a human life.
That was the Nazi's and Hitler's problem, they saw Jews as the scum of the planet and the root of all-evil. They were unable to see a human life. Instead they could kill a group of Jewish people like they were killing ants with a big can of Raid and then go directly to eat. It is sad to think of what had to happen to the men in higher power or just the scrub officers to allow them to justify such an act as murder. They had to be extremely religious themselves and very pissed off at the belief that Jews killed Jesus to even consider taking this kind of action, because that seems to be the only excuse that has risen. It is absolutely nauseating to picture the face of a person right before they have a bullet shot through the temple of their head.
The worse thing to ponder about is the lonely thoughts that were going though the minds of the Jewish people. It could be somewhat easier to cope with the camps if you were with your family, but most of them probably were shot or separated from you. Then the unknowing of what was to happen to you next, you couldn't know if you were off for your death or just being taken to have a shower. I could never in my scariest nightmare ever come...
