Holocaust

This pass month I've been learning about the holocaust and reading about some by-standers and up-standers. By-stander is when a person who is present at an event or incident but does not take part. On the other hand, an up-stander is a person who is present at an event or incident and takes action. So, in class we have been talking about how Hitler slowly brainwashed Germans to go against the Jews and how the actions that he did got worst for the Jews and talking about why people didn't stood up. I think that people became a by-stander because they saw the problem not that bad and they would do something once it got worse. Then when the situation got worse they were to scared to that they would have some consequences their self’s. I read about some up-stander who stood up. For example, Schindler, he uses his money to buy Jews and save them. If I was in this situation I probably be a by-stander because I would be scared if they caught me and possibly kill me and my family.
