"After watching the movie Defiance and then seeing what the US response to the Holocaust was at the time, describe what you think the proper response of one of the individuals that you labeled as "guilty" on your worksheet should have been to what was happening. Next, describe what the proper response of the US to the Holocaust should have been as it was occurring and while we were fighting Nazi Germany during WWII. Finally, describe your views on how the international community should respond to genocide when it happens today (for example, in Syria)."
One of the individuals that I considered guilty was the president at the time. The president didn't initiate any sort of repromand toward the Nazi party, therefore contributing to the ok that gave Hitler the push to continue is terrible acts. The proper response that I think he should have done was gather up all of the allies he could and go and stop Hitler from killing innocent Jews before it was too late. We should have said something to Hitler that said that he shouldn't kill innocent Jews. My views on how the international community should respond to genocide when it happens today is that everyone should just say no to anyone who feels like killing a particular group of people and stop the person right then.
