Throughout this unit, I have learned many things about the causes of WWⅡ. A big thing that relates to the causes of WWⅡ are the 10 stages of genocide. Genocide is made up of the classification, symbolization, discrimination, dehumanization, and polarization of people. It also includes the organization of state-sponsored plans (violent ones), preparation of those plans mentioned, which leads to the persecution, extermination of people, and denying that it all even happened. An example of this can be seen with the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler organized the Nazi party and classified Jews as the source of Germany's problems. The German people wanted to hear this which led to propaganda being made to signify the Jews as inhuman, which ended up with the Jews being discriminated against. Adolf Hitler persecuted the Jews and sent them to concentration camps which led to their extermination. To help cover it up, the Nazis denied it ever happened. But unfortunately, even today, there are still people who believe that the Holocaust did not exist in the first place.
