The Holocaust was the very event that kill around 6 million Jews. Its also the same event that changed Elie Wiesel's life forevermore. The injustices that happened during the Holocaust are to vast to count. Some of these are when "-nearly 1000 Jews...were turned back to Nazi Germany..." The Holocaust itself lasted twelve years, I think this by itself is a injustice enough. But the Holocaust is just history repeating itself. The Holocaust took place during 1933-1945. While the Atlantic slave trade took place during the 15th through the 19th century. The Atlantic slave trade is often called the "Black Holocaust" These events are similar in the fact that both parties were enslaved. The Africans being forced to work on plantations, and the Jews in the concentration camps like Auschwitz. Some of the terrible acts that took place during slave trade were the conditions the Africans were put through. The slave ships had cramped quarters for their victims. It was so bad that one could not turn on one's side. As well as this they were chained to each other during this, often barely or not being fed for the whole journey. This is similar to how Elie Wiesel and his father, as well as the rest of the camp were barely fed the whole journey to Buchenwald.

POST #1: INJUSTICE
Elie Wiesel said "We must take sides, Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented" What he meant by this is that being silent only hurts the victim and it is an injustice to be silent. He wants us to speak up and make changes in the world. This post is about the very injustices that took place during the time of the Holocaust, the Atlantic Slave Trade.
