The Holocaust through 21st Century Eyes
Tom - Redborne Upper School


WW2 Home | Fighting

This presentation looks at the roots of anti-semitism and its impact on Nazi Germany during World War 2.  It contains social comment by myself.  The main paper is contained in text and illustration in a download document

Badge worn by Jewish people in WW2The holocaust was one of the horrific events of the 20th century, it forces us to reassess what is meant by humanity.  As a young person insulated from meaningful suffering in 21st century Britain, I find it almost impossible to conceive of the realities of genocide, however it is important to understand how this could have happened so as to prevent it from happening again.  Before looking at the brutal slaughter involved in the logistics of the holocaust it is necessary to looks at the roots of such hatred in Europe.
