The Little-Known Victims of the Holocaust Many people today look back on the Holocaust and realize that so many atrocious and horrible things happened. The genocide of the Jews is well known, but what may be less well documented is Hitler's plan to eradicate all groups other than the blue-eyed, blond-haired Aryans. Many of them were forgotten and simply relegated to the main race of the Jews, who were said to be unworthy of life. People were not ready, nor did they expect to be forced into such an egregious state of being. Adolf Hitler atrociously persecuted every race he deemed unsuitable for his dream of a Master Race. On September 1, 1939, Hitler started World War II. He decided he wanted to build what he called a Master Race. With that decision he drafted a legal document to exterminate anyone he deemed unfit for his Master Race. The only suitable ones were white people with blue eyes and blond hair, otherwise called Aryans. Hitler had all the full-blooded Germans under his command and promised to bring them all together in unison to regain peace. He made all educated people teach that their race was superior to others (Friedman 2). Hitler, to keep his promise to the Germans, created the Nazi party to maintain order and wipe out the unwanted. To follow Hitler, the Nazis promoted anti-Semitism. There were many laws prohibiting harsh treatment of the human race, but those laws meant nothing to the Nazis; they broke every law and more. The creation of an ideal race began with the presence on Earth of only Aryans. Hitler's desire was to have only people of Aryan descent, who were somehow part of a past Iranian civilization from Europe. Even if they were... middle of paper... a terrible man. Having the idea of ​​exterminating everyone except himself and the full-blooded Germans was an outrageous thing to try to do. He managed to kill countless people, but luckily someone realized that something had to be done to stop him and his terrible efforts. The Holocaust left Hitler's horrific imprint on history and must be remembered so that it is never repeated. Works Cited La Ganga, Maria L. "Fight for 'other' Holocaust victims."
