RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
The 2014's History Day Fair theme is Rights and Responsibilities. This is a very broad idea and my topic does relate to the theme. The Jews in the holocaust were no different from anyone else. They're human beings just like us who sadly were put under extremely painful and unfair conditions. Everyone on this Earth has a right to live their life and everyone has their own rights whether they be few or many in most places. Millions of innocent people were taken from their homes, their lives, family, friends, job, etc. against their own free will to be brought to concentration camps. No one asked for it, no one asked to be starved, gassed, shot in the head, experimented on, and just down right tortured/abused. By doing these acts upon these people, you are stripping the rights and life away from many. Freedom of speech? Gone. Freedom of religion? Gone. Want to live in your home with your Jewish family? That right and their life was gone as well to the hands of the Nazis. Josef Mengele also took away the rights and dignity of human beings. Mengele killed and experimented on anyone whether it be a child or an adult. Murder is essentially ripping the right to live out of someone since you are ending said persons life.
