The Final Solution: Why Most Survivors Of The Holocaust

The “Final Solution” “Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal.” (Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby). The “Final Solution” is the execution of millions of Jews. The Jews were deported from their homes and into camps were some people were forced to kill their own families. The Nazis killed over 6 million people overall throughout all the years of WWII. Some of the people were Jews and some were Gypsies. The Final Solution had a great impact on history and the world because now, there is less racism towards different nationalities, people are now aware of how others can be affected by their words and actions and people are more likely to reduce the violence between different nationalities. An example of this is happening today, you can see how blacks, whites, hispanics, etc. treat each other equally.

The Germans believed that the Jews were going against the Germans in WWI and for this, they decided to exterminate the Jews. They believed that if they destroyed the Jews, they would probably win other wars. This also caused Hitler into thinking that there was an actual perfect German race (Aryan) that would help Germany achieve that goal. Another reason was because Hitler wanted to increase the Nazis status, Hitler used the weakness of his enemy’s as a weapon to make the Nazis gain more power. (History.com). Hitler believed that the Jews were the key to gaining more power because people would be more aware of what he can do to people who opposed him. This would also increase Nazis status because more people would fear
