Holocaust Article Blog

I think the story of the French towns that saved Jews should still be told.  Even though the holocaust was a very, very terrible thing, the "good" aspects of it should be shown...when the people and different villages tried to save each other.  The reputation of one French town shouldn't affect the whole country when some places were trying to actually help the Jewish people.  I agree with the historian Patrick Henry...why would we forget the people who actually helped save others...it doesn't make sense why we would.  I agree with the article in telling the story of those who helped others.  This relates to Schindler's List because it deals with someone saving the lives of many people.  It deals with someone willing to spend a lot of money and time to try and save as many lives as he can.  The movie is great because although it's about the holocaust, it focuses on the "good" part when people were saving other people.
