What is the author’s message to the planet?

The author's message to us is that Dictatorship is bad, and also people get pain because of dictatorship. During the World War two, when Germony controlled most of Europe under Hitler's dictatorship, all the jews had to be in hideing. Just my the opinion of the dictator, that the jews are bad, so much jews died and they had to hide for a lot of years in fear. The author is trying to say that a same human being doesnt have right to harm other and control them.

What is prejudice? Where in the world have you seen prejudice? What are the effects of prejudice?

The definition I know as prejudice is when an individual dislikes someone else with out a definate reason. There are lots of place in the world where you can find prejudice, I can see prejudice in Korea, I've seen it in America and all over the world. In America, we can see prejudice over white and black people often, and for all over the world, there are usually prejudice against other people's physical appearance. The effects of prejudice turns out to be bad, prejudice creates dislike and then people will have bad feelings against other people. We shouldnt dislike others without a definate reason, and even though there is a reason where you could dislike someone, you should try not to dislike them.

Whatdo you know already about the Holocaust?

I have not ever researched about the Holocaust detailly, however I have heard of the tragic. It was such an nasty and discusting event. What I know is a brief story about it, and it is the Nazis from Germany killing most of the Jews. I heard there were lots of ways the Nazis killed the Jews, and the most known way how the Jews died were dieing by gas. The Nazis were to cage the Jews in a room and would open up the gas so that they will die. I hope this kinds of tragic doesnt happen any more.
