World War II truly brought Crimes Against Humanity to light through several tragedies. Which 2 tragedies discussed in class would you deem the most inhumane and why?
I think that the katyn forest murders and the Holocaust were the most inhumane. The katyn forests because they were murders in secret, and no-one really could be blames for the deaths, until a more thorough investigation was done, also because the families of those people would have had no idea what happened to them. the Holocaust because it was a lot of people killed just for believing in something. also because it was never a confirmed fact until after the war was over. = Chelsea
I believe the 2 most inhumane tragedies of war were the Holocaust, and the Soviet Prisoners of War.In the Soviet Prisoners of War, 2,500,000 soviet prisoners died, and Russian prisoners starved, beaten, and worked to death. The Holocaust, by 1945, 6,000,000 Jews had been murdered. About 11,000,000 people from Europe died in total. In these two events combined, about 13,500,000 people died. -Jarret
I believe the holocaust was the most gruesome, by 1945 6 million Jews had been killed in death camps- over 65 percent of the Jewish population in Europe. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was another brutal one because it killed over 100000 people and injured many that died soon after in under a year.
