The Holocaust: The Prevention Of Genocide

After the Holocaust, the United Nations created a new term. They called it the genocide. It is basically just any sort of action committed with the objective to demolish a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.

Genocide does not mean the damage of a nation that happens has to happen quickly but when they are killed by mass killings of all the members of a nation. It is planned to be an indication of an organized plan of different actions aimed at the damage of national groups. In 1944, a Polish Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin wanted to create a new term to describe Nazi policies of the planned murder of Jewish people and that is exactly what they did.

I think that if we work together that we can prevent mass atrocities and end genocide. Although, keeping something from happening or arising mass cruelty requires political will first. We have to speak up and order that government leaders make the right choices to stop outrage so they can hear our thoughts and opinions. That way, they will put it into consideration.

After 1933, Germany's Nazi Party executed an organized strategy of persecution, murder and genocide. 6 million Jews and 5 million Slavs, Roma, disabled, Jehovah’s witnesses, homosexuals, and political and religious protestors were killed during the Holocaust. Also, the Darfuri is another example. Over a decade ago the Government of Sudan carried out genocide against Darfuri civilians. They ended up murdering 300,000 and displacing over 2 million
