Holocaust Blog

After reading about the bystanders and upstanders during the Holocaust, I believe that there were reasons why people weren't standing up and supporting what they truly believe in what was right. I think that people just stood by and didn't do anything because they were afraid that they might get hurt or killed just like how the Jews were. Also, since Adolf Hitler was taking small steps to achieve what he did, people didn't realize what was happening slowly and slowly. Probably, they also thought that Hitler was just making a little bit of changes and so they really didn't care much at the time because they would've thought it was still going to be the same. I think that some people, that weren't Jews, thought that what Hitler was doing, was wrong. So some of those people tried helping some of the Jews. Some helped by hiding them, like how Anne Frank was hidden. Honestly, I think that I wouldn't have done anything. I wouldn't do anything because the process of how everything went was going slowly and slowly so I wouldn't be noticing it at all. And also probably, since it wouldn't have been bothering me at the time, I wouldn't really care much about it.
