Drama : Anne Frank: 2.) What is prejudice? Where in the world have you seen prejudice? What are the effects of prejudice?

Prejudice is disliking someone or somethings because of an ureasonable reason. I have seen prejudice all over the world. Some examples are; disliking someone because of race, skin color, ethnics, religion, or appearance; disliking somethings because of color, appearance, it's hard, or the shape of it. Specific examples are such events like the Holocaust, WWII, apartheid, and being a stereotype. These are just some of the events that show prejudice. The effects of these shown prejudice is that people hate those people if a group hates them which causes a lot more people to hate them. Also, it could go on for several decades. That is decided by the people who pick up those thoughts.

Drama: Anne Frank- 1.) What do you already know about the Holocaust?

Well, I don't know much about the Holocaust but I know more about the WWII and the harm it did to the Jewish people. Also, the Holocaust is one of the many events that took place to kill Jewish people, and not only Jewish people but others who helped the Jewish people were kill during the Holocaust and all during out the WWII. The Holocaust caused many families to separated, see each other die, get tortured, and well die. The Holocaust happened not only to Jewish people, it also was held responsible for having victims that were disabled and were not considered 'clean' by Hitler. It is a genocide, a mass killing of a group or people, and it caused a lot of people to die in concentration camps or on the way to a concentration camp. Hitler and the Nazis basically brainwashed people just like how Mao brainwashed the Chinese people. Hitler made people think it was okay to kill those 'unclean' people because he said that they hold them back from success. So, through the Holocaust he was able to kill a lot of those 'unclean' people.
