Upstander Summary

     I have just learned about how in the holocaust there were people who thought that just standing by wasn't going to end what was happening in that time period.  People knew what was happening. They didn't agree with what the Nazi's were doing. They were the up-standers of WWII!
    
     One man that stood out to me was Schindler. After working with the Nazi's just trying to get profit acting like he agrees with them, all up to one day where he saw what kind of terrible things they did. He saw how the Nazi's had dogs, they would let them loose to look for the people who were hiding in their homes. Then everything changed for him. He then went out of his way too build a factory in Brinnlitz, Czechoslovakia. Doing that alone saved 1,200 Jews.

     But some people can't do what other people have done. They stand wondering if they should do anything or just ignore whats happening. I honestly think Germans were bystanders because they knew that if they were caught helping they would have been arrested or gone into what they didn't know of Concentration Camps

      If I was in the time during the Holocaust even if I could do anything I would be a by-stander cause it's a really huge risk to take to get caught by the Nazi's. You never know someone you know may rat you out. But yes even if I would like too I wouldn't. It's a scary thought to hear that people are going to concentration camps but some people would do the outstanding and save them. I couldn't do that if I was.
