Holocaust is his legacy, and so the Holocaust’s legacy is also his. Terror silenced those who opposed him; terror divided those who would have risen together against him. Just as Elie Wiesel visualized the Jews fighting and killing each other, to survive, (Wiesel p. 96) so did the Germans remained silent, to survive. The German people were victims of Hitler and his attempt to define them as a “superior people” by forcing them, through terror, to strip themselves of their own humanity and become killers. This is why the United States and other world powers should create organizations like the United Nations to prevent the conditions that breed desperation, by providing, in order to prevent another such holocaust from occuring ever again.
