Finding paragraph #1

The Holocaust was a very big event during the 1900's because of how it affected the US. Weather people want to talk about it or not, the Holocaust is known all over the world. "During this time, more than 6 million Jews and millions of other groups that caught the negative attention of Nazi Germany. While all the murders were devastating to native populations, none were so devastating than that of the Jews. During this period, 5,000 Jewish communities were wiped out and the total that died represented 1/3 of all Jewish people alive at that time." (Chabotte) Germany was invaded countries left and right; no one trusted them. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." Soviet Union decided to stay close to their enemy, Germany and Hitler, so they could know what is going on and what they are doing. Hitler a few years later turned on the Soviet for no reason, and sent troops to Russia. He was not well prepared at all for this attack; the torturous voyage through the mountains and the snowy grounds with nothing.  Most of Hitler’s army died because of the coldness, illnesses, or tiredness. Soviet was not very happy at this point, so they decide to liberate all of the camps throughout Germany. How did they affect the US today? "Radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has claimed to have discovered FEMA Concentration Camps," we still actually still have concentration camps today. We still do hold people in prison, but at least it is for a good reason. During the Holocaust this was the biggest outcry for Americans; we started having sympathy for the Jews. So that's when the creation for Israel happened because the US wanted a safe place for the Jewish. It also just gave people a look on things now, a lot has changed, and we are not prejudice against other people.
