Holocaust Blog Post
The people didn't know what was happening. Hitler took little steps to make the people okay with the thing that were going on. They didn't know. They knew that they were being separated but little people knew that the Jews were being killed. Many people stood by and watched the Holocaust take place because they were scared. People feared there life, they knew they'd be killed if this happened. This doesn't that their were no bystanders. Some were Germans and others were Jews. The Jews that fought back were fighting because they knew they had nothing to risk. The Germans fought back because they knew this wasn't right. If I were in this situation I would have not been an upstander. Why? Because I would have been scared. I wouldn't have known what to do.

I agree Julian, I would also be scared. Not many people would be an up stander during time period. I would also be a bystander, because of the fear of me risking my life.
ReplyDeleteJulian, I think you are confused with the terms upstander and bystander. An upstander who stand up for injustice, while a bystander would sit by with out doing anything to stop it.
