How Could One Man Cause So Much Pain?

Hatred is a word that many people have used but don't really know the true meaning of. This little word has had a huge affect on millions all over the world. When someone acts in hatred they have a very strong dislike towards a specific group of people and act out in a violent way.

During the Holocaust that is exactly how Hitler had acted, in pure hatred. It was hate that had driven Hitler to do the things that he had done. And it was hatred that caused all the discrimination towards the groups of people that Hitler thought were not the "perfect race", if you were gay, black, Jewish, in poor health, or basically if you were not blond haired and blue eyed you were discriminated. But out of this group of people being discriminated by Hitler, I would have to say that the group of people that suffered the most during the holocaust, would have to be the Jewish. Hitler had the most hatred towards Jews during the Holocaust than any others, he would take thousands of them into concentration camps and they were torturous, just as Hitler intended them to be: "When I came to power, I did not want the concentration camps to become old age pensioners homes,but instruments of terror" -Adolf Hitler. While in these camps thousands of men, women, and children were killed just because they were Jewish. I don't think it was right for Hitler and the Nazis to go and kill just because of religion, because they weren't the "perfect race" Hitler thought everyone should be.

Even today there is still a problem with hate and discrimination between different races and religions: "Yet, nearly 6 decades after the Holocaust concluded, Anti-Semitism still exists as the scourge of the world" - Eliot Engel. I still think that the Jewish are still being discriminated today, but definitely not as drastically as Hitler did back in the Holocaust, but there is still discrimination between religions today. Even though there is hate and discrimination today nothing will ever be as bad as Hitler and the Nazis getting thousands of people killed in the holocaust.
