5/4/2017 1 Comment Current Day connections blog Today in this blog post I shall explain to you how the Holocaust relates to current events. Currently in my book the main character Yanek has just been from the Nazi concentration camps and is looking for something todo with his life. As you may know the Holocaust was one of the most horrific genocides of all time, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party attempted to destroy the entire population of Jewish people. This ultimately lead to a whole new country and new wartime crime punishments.
After the so called "Great War" the Jewish population was decimated, over six million people of Jewish decent were murdered during the Holocaust. Even though the survivors were rescued by the Allies they had no true home. Many organizations sprung up around the world such as the Jewish Federations that helped Holocaust survivors was ultimately not enough. This lead to the creation of a whole new country, Israel. Israel is now the home for all Jewish people and was supposed to avoid arguments with other opposing religions. But sadly this did not occur, instead many Palestinians are furious due to the fact that Israel stripped them of land and Holy sites in all causing even more conflicts. Due to the fact of how badly the people of the Holocaust were treated, the end of World War Two introduced a new ideal, War Crimes. These first War Crimes were held in Nuremberg, Germany. The trail tried the Nazis of genocide and going beyond the means to win a war. This is important to current day because many of these laws and regulations are still in use today to decide if a group or person is guilty of going too far in war times. In conclusion the Holocaust had a major effect on our current world today, from the creation of Israel to the usage of War Crime Trials. I hoped you have enjoy this post and stay tuned for more.
