Exempt from blame?


As noted in the Final Solution Reading, “hundreds of thousands of people were involved, either directly or indirectly, in implementing the ‘Final Solution’.  In your opinion, were any of these people exempt from blame?  Explain your thinking. (Echoes and Reflections)

I think that nobody was exempt from the blame because there were so many people that could have did something that didn't. Even some people that had Jews in hiding some of them told people and then the Jews got captured just like “Anne Frank and those in hiding with her were betrayed to the occupying Nazi forces by an unidentified informant on 4 August 1944, resulting in their imprisonment and deportation to concentration camps.”(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betrayal_of_Anne_Frank)Thousands of people could have lived if people would have helped out. Hiding Jews was a very good and a hard thing and I'm happy that some people did help out, but I think that sometime during the Holocaust  those people were against the Jews. I think those people changed their mind because they figured out what Hitler was doing and they didn't think it was right, but I still believe that everyone was to blame.

  1. I agree everyone's to blame. Everyone had something to do with it, either by killing or providing resources. Everyone is to blame because they were bystanders and helped Hitler do all these bad things.

  2. I like how you put the source of the info, but it would be great if you made the source not in the middle of the paragraph.
