Prejudice

Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling or attitude esp. unfriendly nature regarding a race or religious group. I have seen prejudice in the United States between colored people and white. I have also seen prejudice in Africa, Nigeria where Muslims and Christians fight for their religion. The effects of prejudice are that people start judging others by their appearance, their skin color and the way the talk. People might think you are good in volleyball when you hit it over the net, the judge you by what the see. I think that prejudice and racism are alike.

Holocaust

What I know about the holocaust is that the Jews went through a lot of percussion and trouble. They were afraid of the Nazi's breaking into their houses and sending them to the concentration camps. If the were sent to the concentration camps, there were forced to work until the die. So the Jews hid in secret houses were the Nazi's couldn't find them. The Jews and the Germans where not allowed to listen to foreign News. Germany ruled almost every country in Europe, which made it more unsafe for the Jews. That all I remember about the holocaust, it is a very scary thing to learn.
