The Holocaust

It is right only if your friends and relatives agree to Keep the jews with them and if you know the consequences and risks. The People of Le Chambon saved the jews anyway even though they knew what the risks and consequences were. This is probably because they knew what it was like to be prosecuted since their ancestors were Huguenots and they are protestants. If you just accept things the way they are you cannot improve. You should always take a stand against what you believe is injustice if you are willing to go through with it and stay with it till the end. If you do take a stand the the victim of the injustice will be helped or even saved. The consequences however are terrible. You can go to jail, be prosecuted and killed. Prejudice and bias are usually created when there is already a sense of resentment to the victim but is helped to grow with the help of propaganda's, ignorance and fear. To overcome prejudice and bias you need to stop being ignorant and actually see the victim. Some people are strong at heart and willing to stand up to injustice while some people (Kotler) may be trying to make up for something someone in their family did. A decision will always have consequences but the decision itself decides whether it is a good or bad consequence. The issues raised in the book "The boy in the Striped Pajama" is important because they are still occurring today. We should continue reading and studying "The Boy In Striped Pajama" because it is a challenge and a good read, it also lets us learn about the holocaust and how much it affected the lives of the people there at that time.
