The Holocaust

Lately, in my religion class(student of a Catholic school), we have been... not studying but trying to faintly relive the Holocaust... to scarcely feel what the victims have felt.. Feeling the emotions of these victims is absolutely impossible... How could anyone re-enact such agony and suffering of millions of people...

The Holocaust has always brought in varying thoughts. My thoughts on the Holocaust evolves around a sick and sadistic plan of an ambitious and relentless determination of a merciless man. The Holocaust was a long-thought-of plan just to eliminate those who weren't of the Aryan race, mainly Jews. Although this plan was of such mawkish determination, this plan was undoubtedly ethically and morally unsound. This plan which was thought of just to further "perfect" the human race(and of course HItler's dislike towards Jews) was unsound then and still is now. This cruel result to the past victims makes the word discrimination seem fatally weak. While the Jews were not only stripped of their worldly properties but to millions of these victims, slaughtered inhumanely which leaves all others to feel a sense of disgust and agony.

The most fatal thought is the thought of even being able to plan out such an inhumane, monstrous and heartless genocide which have hurt millions of people, not only victims but others too. I don't feel that I have much of a right to express my insignificant thoughts compared to the millions before me who have suffered pain and anguish which in a way, is incomparable to any other wretchedness.

But I can say that the truth of the Holocaust have left me with sorrow for the victims and anyone who was involved with the victim. It has also caused a great dent in the history of mankind, mainly because of the killings but also because of the insanity of one man which was pursued by many others (the Nazis). The pitiful indulgence of mankind in utter stupidity is quite the disappointment and more of a letdown to the so called "perfected" creatures called man.
