Persecution of the Jews

Admittedly, I probably know less than most about the Holocaust, and even less about the events that led up to it, so this passage had a lot of information that I didn't even know about. Everyone knows about the hardships that the Jews had to go through before and during the Holocaust, but to hear what happened in such specific detail was incredible. The Germans truly did go about their horrible ways in the best way possible for them, was to take away each and every privilege and law from the Jews little by little, so other countries would not suspect them. Before you know it, every basic law given to all people have been taken away from the Jews. Probably the most terrifying aspect of the entire passage was probably the German government's belief of justification. They truly believed that they were superior to the Jewish people and took any measure possible to rid them of the "problem." Also according to the essay, not one person in the government ever felt morally wrong for what they were doing to the Jews. In fact, the only conflict they had was the approach of how to dispose of the Jews. The amount of effort they put into this was also astounding. It had gotten to the point with the help of propaganda and other means that the majority of the public agreed with Hitler and his ideas. Lastly, the lack of support that other countries gave to the Jews was unsettling. I always thought that each country did their best to support Jews and help when needed, but it seems that with their actions they in a way justified the further persecution of Jews by the Germans. In all, however, this is just a reminder of how cruel humanity can be to each other and that with the right precautions, this could happen all over again.
