The Great Depression of 1929 really had a huge effect on people. American stock market crashed on October 24/1929. Wall Street investors committedsuicide. Banks closed, which caused many people to lose their investments. World trade dropped by sixty two percent within a few years. The most important effect that the Great Depression brought was loss of jobs.
Hearing what the Nazis did to Jews was really hard for me. I can't imagine humans treating each other the way that they were treated under Hitlers command. The fact that it could have been prevented so many times is what baffles me the most. The people transporting the prisioners to the concentration camps should have told Hitler that they would not do it. They knew what they were going to do. And the people that built the gas sprayers in the "showers" really should have asked Hitler what he needed them for. Once they found this out, they should have told them they would not complete the job. If these people would have spoke up and said something there would be more people alive today.
