It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful Ratification’s of indifference and inaction” said Tim Holden.

To understand the holocaust learning about Adolf Hitler, Auschwitz, and the Nuremberg Trials would increase your understanding of why this occurred. The horrendous events that took place in the concentration camps should be taught to students worldwide to emphasize the importance of human life and to teach even the periods of time that most civilians try to forget. The holocaust was a major effect of the country of Germany being handicapped after World War One. The war left Germany in ruins and in desperate need of help. The treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919. Its purpose was to demolish whatever was left of Germany after the war. The treaty stated that Germany was to take all blame for the war, and the must pay war reparations. Germany also had to reduce the size of its army and Germany lost its territorial claims. It was during this period of international degradation that the Nazi Party gradually rose to power. Adolf Hitler was the leader of these political parties and gained trust, power and followers through the people of Germany by his amazing speech-giving skills and his way of manipulating civilians. Hitler’s plan was to create the “Final Solution”, which meant he wanted equality for Germans and racial superiority. This included killing centers, gas chambers and a crematorium. People of the Jewish decent were the main target of Adolf Hitler’s inhumane plot, along with gypsies, communists, homosexuals and the mentally and physically retarded. Arriving at the camps, most children, women, physically impaired
