The underlying theme here is that what cannot be indemnified, cannot be forgiven. This is because to forgive is to heal, but healing can only begin when there some form of compensation received by the victim; something must fill the void caused by his loss. Consequently, the remuneration need correspond to the severity of the misdeed. For merely irritating another, a sincere apology would be enough, since the regret is an equal counterpart for the victim’s feelings. In the case of Simon Wiesenthal and the Nazi, however, the wrong doing was life-altering.…
Stanley Milgram, a Yale University psychologist, began an experiment in July 1961 that would drastically alter society’s perception of obedience. Milgram formulated a test to comprehend how far people would perform when coerced into obeying an authoritative figure. The experiment involved subjects being tricked into believing they were electrically shocking another individual; physical and emotional harm to the subjects was followed, resulting from the extreme tension they encountered. Ultimately, Milgram thought he found an underlying connection between his experiment and the Holocaust. The study manufactured mixed reactions from society.…
The objective of teaching any type of subject is for the student to think critically and for them to be curious. The Holocaust is prime candidate for students to critically think through complex life issues since kids will be need to know about these issues later in life. “The Holocaust provides one of the most effective subjects for examining basic moral issues” ("Why Teach about the Holocaust?").

A dystopian is the opposite of a utopia. A utopia is a perfect society where everyone has everything they need, everyone gets along, everyone is happy, and basically life is perfect. A dystopia is the exact opposite of that. People don’t have things they need, people are poor, not happy, not everyone is happy, people are dehumanized, and overall it’s a terrible society to live in. The dystopian world in Ready Player One is comparable to the Holocaust, because they both were dystopias, people were dehumanized, and people forgot what life was.…
Despite the centuries between them, there are many striking similarities between the systematic killing of Jews during the Holocaust and the routine violence toward Native Americans during the colonial period. Historians estimate that approximately 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust, including about two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe; whereas in America, it is estimated that 80 to 95% of the Native population died after the Europeans arrived. Yet, while the Holocaust is arguably the most talked-about war atrocity in history, the Native Americans’ stories are often downplayed, overlooked or forgotten about. Why does this happen? What Even if we aren’t aware of it, our morals affect how we process an event.…
