What do you believe was their reasoning?
Respond on Your Blog, what you think was behind their non-resistance.

Humanities Assignment - Is History worth Studying?

The first assigned humanities post for 8c2 is to respond to the question above - "Is History worth studying?"

In view of the current topic you are studying, - the Holocaust- many atrocities were committed to a select group of the population - The Jews - under the orders of the German Government and its leader, Adolf Hitler.

Families were separated; men women and children were used as subjects for horrifying scientific experiments, sent to concentration camps, and cruelly treated. Many were put to death in gas ovens.

The Jews were not the first population of humans who were inhumanely treated by another culture; there are many injustices that are still taking place today.

There is a saying:

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

George Santayana (1863 - 1952), The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905

So, - IS HISTORY WORTH STUDYING?
