This piece was written as a piece to submit to my school english class, but as my teachers seem to believe that I only write to annoy them, I thought it would be better used here. So here it is. A quote that comes to mind is "god's war against man is a holocaust, but what coming now is god's war against man's war against man, it's not a holocaust, it's a war, it's man war against himself". I like that quote because it implies that the only people who could cause a holocaust believe themselves to be god-like. So much so that they feel they have the power to wipe out entire races, species, or the entirety of life on this planet, hopefully it wont come to that, but it just might the way Nazism is coming back into fashion in some places. It also seems likely that it will come to this, because of the situations around the world of dictators and the damage they instate. The situation of Hilter and the Jewish holocaust was terrible because Hitler could hide the fact that he was massacring Jews for more that 6 years, and the world was blind to the fact, or simply ignored it. The holocaust centre taught me many things about the cunning of the Nazi's. It also showed me the wrongness of the Christian philosophy of turning the other cheek in situations of such severity. Though I'm not arguing it's good in situation of personal name calling or abuse, it is not the answer to a global problem. The story of the Catholic priest was a very good example of this fact, the Nazi's came for the Jews, but he didn’t worry, because he wasn't a Jew, the Nazi's came for the communists, but he wasn't a communist so he didn't step in and protest. The Nazi's came for the Protestants, but he wasn’t concerned because he was not Protestant, when at last the Nazi's came for the Catholics, there was no-one left to protest. When I was looking at the pictures taken by the Nazi photographers, I was quite appalled that they would incriminate themselves like that for no real reason, it was disgusting the way the exploited their position of power over them. I'm not going to deny the fact that Adolf Hitler was an extremely clever man, but I think it is plain to see that his views on the world were very narrow and prejudiced. I believe that he stared what we now refer to as the "white supremacists". Those people, always white Caucasians, who believe themselves to be above every other race of man, for no other reason than they are self righteous, and inclined to think that the rest of the world will follow them should they start a revolution. Hitler though did not start only bad things, I believe that he started world leaders on a campaign against racism, segregation, and double standards that were still everywhere, and unfortunately still are. These are my views, and if you disagree with them don’t take it out on me. I am simply stating what I see to be true in my opinion.
