Holocaust Response

In my opinion, I think that the people stood by and watched the Holocaust because they thought it wasn't that big of a deal at the time. But when the Holocaust went further and people knew about how bad it was, they probably just went to the Nazi side because they didn't want to get killed. I honestly don't really know what I would've done. I would've felt guilty if I was one the other side, and if I went to the camps and got killed I would have a horrid feeling in the pit of my stomach because I mean, you know don't know what's going on at first, but then when you arrive at the camps and such, you end up dying. Unless you manage to escape, but that is a hard possibility. I learned this one phrase that my teacher Ms. Belkov told my class and I and personally dig it. It goes, "Ignorance is Bliss", man this phrase can mean many things.  When we read an article about Bystanders, I realized that sometimes being a bystander isn't all that bad. You just stay away from the problem because maybe you don't want to get into it. A Bystander is someone who avoids dealing with injustice. For example, white people during the civil rights movement who did nothing, the non- Jewish Germans during the Holocaust. eAn up-stander is a person who stands up when they see injustice. For example, MLK, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Cesar Chavez. Another one is the complete and total opposite of the two, and they are called the perpetrator. They someone who is causing the injustice. For example, Hitler/Nazis, KKK (white supremacists). I can't wait for more new things to learn in Lit. since Iv'e already got to learn new things that I didn't know.
