Comparing The Holocaust And The Boston Memorial

There many problems with racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in our nation. Actions need to be taken to prevent these things from happening. There are many actions you alone, or you with a group of people can take to help stop these things. The Holocaust and the Boston Memorial were big instances in which these terrible things took place. Martin Luther King Jr. fought against these things in his time and help make a change in his time. Nations have a lot of power when it comes to these problems. We need to work together as an individual or a group to help stop racism, prejudice, antisemitism, and bullying. I feel strongly about putting an end to these things so everyone on Earth can live happily and peacefully and continue human development.

According to Study.com “After the windows were broken, children were pushed out over broken glass barefoot and wearing nothing but their nightshirts.” During Kristallnacht, many Jews had to run away from their homes and cities because they were being attacked.

Little children ran away from their homes over broken glass and through spiky shrubs to get away. Some of the children had to witness their family being taken away and had to leave them behind to save themselves. A lot of them didn’t understand what was going on because they were so young. Not all the kids could get away and some were either killed or taken away to concentration camps. Parents lost their children to the Nazis and children lost their parents. The cost in damages were extremely expensive It was a horrific and grim day for Jews all around the world.

According to Barry Sharge “How can this be in this country, in this city, so near to the graves of patriots who fought for freedom and liberty in this place.” On August 15, 2017 the Boston Holocaust Memorial was vandalized. People were horrified at how heartless someone could be. The families of victims were upset and offended. This was very disrespectful to anybody involved in the or their families. The cost in damages was expensive. This wasn’t the first time the memorial was vandalized. We must take action to keep this level of disrespect from happening

You can combat racism, prejudice, and antisemitism by being more open minded and accepting people's races and beliefs. To combat racism, you need to look for things in common between people. For example, you can be kinder to people from a different race than your own. Also, you can not believe stereotypes about any race. If you want to help combat prejudice you should not judge anyone by their race. You can also inform people about your own race and beliefs. To help combat antisemitism, you can help Jews feel welcome in your community. Working with Jews to help stop all the hate and stop antisemitism will also help.
You can do many things as a group to help combat racism prejudice and antisemitism. You can celebrate other people's differences and learn more about each others race. Supporting other peoples races against racism can also help. Spreading information about your race and beliefs can help combat prejudice. You can also co-exist with other races and beliefs peacefully by not making any assumptions. The removal of offensive propaganda will help combat antisemitism. Starting protests against antisemitism will also help. These are all ways to help combat racism, prejudice, and antisemitism as a group.
Nations have a lot of power when it comes to racism, prejudice, and antisemitism. They can either support it, do nothing about it, or combat it. An example of a nation supporting these things is when Germany ordered the mass killing and vandalism of Jews and their property. Nations can also not do anything. If mass accounts of racism or prejudice are recorded, these nations will let it happen. Nations will also combat these things. Nations can combat these by creating laws or holding meetings. Nations can do all these things to either support, not do anything, or combat racism, prejudice, and antisemitism.
According to Yehuda Bauer “Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.” The first part means you should not be the victim of any type of bullying. The second part means that you should not be the bully. The final part means that most importantly, you should not stand by and watch someone be bullied. If you don't help the victim you are just as bad as the bully. You are just letting it happen. You should stand up for the innocent no matter what. Being a bystander is a really bad thing to do because you are hurting the innocent more than anything.
According to Martin Luther King Jr. “ I have a dream that one day every valley be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low. The rough places shall be made plain and the the crooked places shall be made straight.” Martin Luther Jr. said this to share his hopes and dreams. He wanted to help make a better America where all things are equal. His dream was to have blacks and whites as equal. When he said this he used analogies for making things equal. Making blacks and whites equal was just a start. He wanted everything and everybody in the world to have equal rights no matter what. He was alive in a time where blacks were treated so far below whites. This was Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream.
Ending racism, prejudice, and antisemitism is very crucial to me. Ending these things is will help continue human growth and we can all live peacefully together. Do you really want your children being judged by their race or ethnicity? What about your grandchildren? This is a huge problem and it will not stop until we do something about it. We need to put a stop to it. If we don’t do anything, we will consume each other and the world will change. Make a difference.
