history, many events come to mind. To be more
specific, many world-changing events have

also a handful of events that had no rhyme or
reason. These are the events the world may never
understand. In the writer's mind, these are the
events that changed the world the most. There is

Concentration Camp Prejudice Holocaust
451 words
Prejudice was the main factor that led to the
holocaust. For some, resisting these forms of
oppression was survival. Considering the
dehumanizing the Nazis had forced upon the Jews,
people took whatever courage and strength they had
to get through this period of time. I believe luck
also had a part to play in survival. Even though
now prejudice is mostly name calling, 60 years ago
it could mean death. Whether one is resisting the
Nazis or just resisting prejudice in general, one

the Jews. Presumably the most moving and poignant
