“In the shadow of the Holocaust… the United Nations passed the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). In Bonsia, after a genocide, there was the creation of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to bring justice by prosecuting the perpetrators of the atrocities (USHMM). After the Holocaust the United Nations met and said “Never again”. This has given many, including survivors, hope that this can help make the world a better place. The truth is that other genocides have occurred since the Holocaust: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Burma, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Sudan and South Sudan, and Syria. . The events that followed demonstrated how “Never Again” failed to remind humans to stand instead of stand. regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning 'fire sacrifice'” (USHMM). During the rise of Nazi power in 1933 the Germans found themselves superior, the perfect race. Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader, wanted to have only the perfect race, the Aryans. The Jews we consider “inferior” [and] were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community” (USHMM). Because the threat was so great, Hitler, along with the Nazi Party and German citizens, thought that the best way to get rid of the Jews, Germany, and, on a much larger scale, Europe, was to exterminate them. People were taken to ghettos and then finally sent to concentration camps. There, Nazi soldiers divided the people, if they were able to assassinate Tutsi and moderate Hutu leaders, and armed and trained young people as militias responsible for some small-scale massacres. Killings decreased with machetes and machine guns. Works CitedBryan Alexander@BryAlexandUSA, TODAY. "Spielberg brings the horrors of the Holocaust into classrooms."
