From the second Adolf Hitler become chancellor Germany become a darker place. Germany was humiliated after WWI and Hitler wanted the world to see that Germany isn’t weak and they weren’t to blame for their troubles. Hitler blamed the Jews and those who didn’t fit his “elite race”. He started a genocide and when the world reacted all they could do was save as many lives as they could for so many had already been lost. The nations of the world could have done so much more to prevent the genocide and if they couldn’t prevent it they could have stopped it sooner. But for several years the world remained a bystander. “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” –Albert Einstein
According to the Jewish Virtual Library in American, the press printed articles that described the mistreatment of those in Germany who didn’t fit in Adolf Hitler’s “elite race” but the press buried it in the papers. For the government, they denied it because they didn’t have substantial proof of the mistreatment so they let it unconfirmed (“Holocaust”). When the U.S. government got confirmed information of the concentration camps, gad chambers, death rows, and hash treatments the government kept it classified. When the British Prim Minister Winston Churchill decided to make a stand by having the death camp at Auschwitz to be bombed he was ignored. If he wasn’t ignored and the railroads leading to the camp were bombed it would have saved thousands of lives (“Holocaust”).

The Holocaust is a topic that is still not forgotten and is used by many people, as a motivation, to try not to repeat history. Many lessons can be taught from learning about the Holocaust, but to Eve Bunting and Fred Gross there is one lesson that could have changed the result of this horrible event. The Terrible Things, by Eve Bunting, and The Child of the Holocaust, by Fred Gross, both portray the same moral meaning in their presentations but use different evidence and word choice to create an overall

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic and trying times for the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of Jews and other minorities that the Nazis considered undesirable were detained in concentration camps, death camps, or labor camps. There, they were forced to work and live in the harshest of conditions, starved, and brutally murdered. Horrific things went on in Auschwitz and Majdenek during the Holocaust that wiped out approximately 1,378,000 people combined. “There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.” –Fidel Castro
