How does the Holocaust continue to effect the world today?

Answer 1

As the previous answer stated: the perceived need by Jews to create the State of Israel at any cost to ensure that their survival is in *their* hands, not someone else's. Also, the West felt revulsion at what the Nazis did to *everyone* in the concentration camps: Germany before World War I was one of Europe's most Enlightened societies, which is part of the reason no one thought prior to the war that rumors of the camps could be true. So after the war, people in the West began to examine racism and discredit it (Nazis tried to use science to explain racial differences that just don't exist... scientifically. Culturally, yes, but biologically, no). HOWEVER, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East did *not* experience the holocaust, and as non-Europeans see it as something that happened "elsewhere." So you might say that the current situation in Iraq is related to the Holocaust. A Western nation decided that peaceful democracy could be established if a dictator was removed, forgetting that the different ethnic factions there see each other as different and incompatible, and would fight to the death to attain absolute power...

Answer 2

I feel it has made mankind aware of just how evil we can be. It has really made ppl aware of "genacide" that we made excuses for , prior to the Holocaust. The massacre of the native ppls of not just North America, but India,Africa, Australia and other parts of the world, where we once saw "adventure", we now realise it was wrong what the explorers did. they were out for wealth and land, not in any way to help, except to Christianize the pagans, those who did not convert we disposed of effieciantly.
Hopefully, we should have learned from it, but since then there has been East Timor, Ruwanda, Cambodia and now Darfur. The very sad part is now we know that these things are happening as they occur. After "WW II" , the rest of the world were able to say , true or not, that we didn't know. That can't happen now. If there was the "Polical Will" of the "Have" nations things could be turned around. In the meantime we will honour the 12-14 million victims of the "Holocaust" and turn a political blind eye, to the sickness that we are witnessing.

Answer 3

with the aid of fact that's between the main activities of history, like the crusades, the witchhunts, and so on. with the aid of fact that's something incredibly dreadful to have occurred, exceedingly in a civilized society. So that's significant to objective to understand WHY it has occurred and how it became right into possible. And out of recognize to the victims, yet in addition to the survivors and their descendants. There are extremely some human beings alive who survived one the the camps - think of how they might experience if somebody by surprise desperate to no longer practice the Holocaust in school any further?

Answer 7

All that has been said is true-well, most of it. But, it is sad that we cannot apply it to what is happening in Darfur today. People do not seem to care.
