Are Jews the most victims of racial discrimination? Hate is permanent. It seems to work its way into a person's body. Then it is used to create difficult situations. This is exactly what has been happening with the Jewish people since the beginning of their creation. Slaves in Egypt, slaves of the Nazis, slaves of hatred. They have no respite. Many believe that the only act of discrimination against Jews occurred years ago, at the end of World War II, but that is not true. From the beginning of civilization to today, and even into the future, Jews have faced intimidation and hatred around the world. The Holocaust: an event that cost the lives of 6 million Jews is undoubtedly the greatest act of genocide and discrimination. in world history. The Jews were rounded up, enslaved and killed in terrible ways. There is no other event in Earth's history that has cost so many lives; deliberately planned in a way intended to do this. Hitler managed to persuade almost his entire country, when he took power, that the Jews were the enemy; that they were responsible for the situation in Germany. The hatred continued to grow, until it reached the point where a plan was implemented: kill the Jews, repair Germany. Synagogues burned, stores burned, lives burned. Jews were not the only ones targeted, the list included: Gypsies, people with disabilities, Gays, Blacks and Jews. It is truly amazing how people can come to such a simple conclusion that only one group of people is responsible for everything bad in their lives. Also at this time, acts against Jews were occurring in America. What were they? Small acts in which individuals were targeted. Being Jewish, I had great-grandparents who grew up during the Holocaust. I... middle of paper ... the answer, considering all the past acts recorded against them and those currently occurring, is yes. Regardless, there is still hatred towards Jews. There is always a “reason” to blame them for everything that goes wrong. It all comes down to greed and ignorance. The ignorant are those who follow the greedy, and in reality, they are the ones who make the world difficult to live in.
