Blog #13- The Holocaust

I think that the author of this essay must have been Jewish or must have some friends that were Jewish because he talks about the meaning of The Holocaust so deeply. He explains how the word Holocaust means "burnt offering" and how that is offensive as the Jews did not offer themselves to be killed in gas chambers. They did not resist but they could have. I'm not saying that I approve of the word, but if you think about it, someone who does not resist and goes is somewhat offering themselves. I think that every event weather it be good or bad needs a name. A name to explain the event that took place so others can know what happned and from the Holocaust, we have learned just as from slavery, that there are certain things that are wrong that we must fight.
