"If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example"
~Anne Frank
How Does The Holocaust Affect Life Today?
The Holocaust has affected life today in many ways. After the Holocaust more Jews came to the U.S than ever before. Jews have been persecuted for hundreds of years. The Holocaust brought this to peoples attention, finally realizing how bad discrimination really was. This is hopefully leading to less discrimination. Hitler told people that Jews were the main reason for all problems. This led to a horrid and gruesome couple of years that could scar the Jewish culture forever. But when Hitler committed suicide and World War II ended all of the concentration camps throughout Europe were obliterated, saving millions of Jews. It is said that two out of every three Jews living in Europe at that time were killed during the Holocaust. If the Holocaust had not happened the Jewish culture would probably be a lot larger especially in Europe. Today the Holocaust shows us how dangerous we as humans can be, and will be with the proper motivation. We are constantly impacting history, whether it being for better or worse.
