Darfur and The Holocaust

"The world agrees that
genocide is unacceptable and yet genocide and mass killings continue."
We all understand that genocide of whatever multitude is something that should never ever happen yet to this day it continues to happen. I just don't understand why people think it is right to kill other people especially in mass numbers like the Holocaust. Race, religion nor gender should not be an issue anymore.
"When, last May, the writer Elie Wiesel, himself a former prisoner in Buchenwald, accompanied President Obama and Chancellor Angela Merkel to the site of the camp, he said that he had always imagined that he would return some day and tell his father's ghost that the world had learned from the Holocaust. But, Wiesel continued, had the
world actually learned anything, "there would be
no Cambodia, and no Rwanda and no Darfur and no Bosnia."
Losing people impacts the world and should help us learn that the act of murdering people doesn't solve anything, especially when the people who died had no fault in them. It is sad to know that the survivors of the Holocaust are yet again living through such cruelty as what they've been put through. Maybe not physically but they know fully well how brutal war can be.
Hopefully in this paper, I will come to learn the deep effects it has in our world, distinguish the similarities and differences between them and maybe be able to find solutions.
