“Racial policy”, persecution of the Jews, genocide
http://www.obersalzberg.de/rassische-verfolgung.html?&L=1
Persecutors and Victims: In the ghetto of Lodz (1940 - 1944), left Hans Biebow, the head of the German ghetto administration, in the background members of the Jewish ghetto police.
The mass crimes of the Third Reich were based ultimately on the idea that the value-laden hierarchy of races existed. In World War II these ideas were implemented in their most radical form - with the systematic murder of men, women, and children. Above all the Jews, but also the Gypsies, became victims of segregation, persecution, and genocide. The mentally and physically handicapped were considered to be "unworthy of life" and were also murdered in large numbers. Terror reigned all over German-occupied Europe, particularly, however, in Poland and the Soviet Union.
This article is about racial/religious persecution. It discusses that Jews were personally victimized by the Germans. It states that during WWII, the Jewish faith was almost wiped out. The quote '"Jews, but also the Gypsies, became victims of segregation, persecution, and genocide" makes me think that they were really incapable of finding peace at any particular time and or place during this hardship. Racial and religious persecution has been a problem in the world for quite some time now. It has been gradually dying down over the last few years, but it is still somewhat there. I don't agree with any part of it. I think it is cruel and totally wrong. Peopel should be able to be who they are and believe in what they want without being judged.

I agree with you hows it's wrong by far it's horrible it single people out because they might be different. I feel that times have been we don't have that kind of persecution any more but now we have different kinds. When something bad happens in a community or in a country, people feel like they need to blame someone for what happened just like the Nazi did by blaming WWI on the Jews and all the reparations that came by losing the war. People just move on to some other group to blame.
I agree that its wrong too. I think its really unfair and that people shouldn't be judged like that everyone should be treated equally. Also they really shouldn't single people out because of their differences and that instead of persecuting people like that nowadays which is really wrong we have other ways of persecuting which isn't as bad but still is. And also I feel like a cause for racial discrimination is definatly the need to blame others for bad things and we just single others out which leads to racism.
i also agree with you guys. thats it wrong and a long time ago it was happening to people of different color and how cruel people can be to other people that are different and its not right!I agree thats it dying down now a days but its still happening right now.
