NHD Project Explanation

     My NHD project is on the responsibility of the citizens of Germany during the Holocaust when the rights of Jews were taken away. I've learned about how the Jews were mistreated while they were in the concentration camps. Through my research, I have also discovered how the German citizens either supported Hitler and his ways or avoided the topic in general. Even though I understand that the citizens were afraid of what Hitler might do to them, if they all stood up against him together, his reign could have come to an end sooner.
    

In the mid-1900s, many of the Jewish faith, along with others, were persecuted for their appearance and beliefs, and were sent to concentration camps under the reign of Adolf Hitler. Frequently, those who spoke out against him were mistreated as well. Nevertheless, this is not an excuse for the citizens of that time frame to turn a blind eye towards the horrendous events that occurred in the concentration camps. It was, and still is, the responsibility of human beings to speak up for the rights of those being persecuted, despite the consequences.
