WOW

We were suppose to look at two Holocaust links but i looked at them all. They were very interesting and quite horrible. The events that occurred were horrendous and should not have occurred. I believe some of these events could have been prevented if only Americans would have intervened and put aside their bias. The pictures i saw of Jews digging their own graves was horrible. The amount of death that Holocaust produced makes you question what evil man is capable of doing. In my opinion, the Holocaust is one of the most evil and devastating period in modern history.

Holocaust

I thought the movie was pretty interesting. It was sad how much the Jewish community was disliked. The anti immigration laws were very harsh and in my opinion if changed could have saved a lot of lifes. I learned a lot from this film, at times it was boring, but overall it was good.
