  5. Mr. Weiss Genocide There are four kinds of people in every genocide: 1. Perpetrators:people committing genocide 2. Victims:the people who the perpetrators are committing acts of genocide on 3. Bystanders:the people who stand by and just watch the genocide. 4. Upstanders:the people who stand up to the perpetrators and try to stop the genocide. (One of the key questions is how do we turn bystanders into upstanders.) Dr. Roger Smith

  19. Mr. Weiss The Holocaust “In Germany first they came for the communists And I did not speak out- Because I was not a communist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out- Because I was not a Jew Then they came for the trade-unionists And I did not speak out because I was not a trade-unionist

  20. Mr. Weiss The Holocaust Then they came for the Catholics And I did not speak out- Because I was Protestant Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me.” Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892 – 1984) A leader of the church’s opposition to Hitler.

  21. Mr. Weiss The Holocaust Nobody wants to take responsibility for the guilt. Nobody admits to guilt but instead points to his neighbor. Yet, guilt exists, there is no doubt about it. Even if there were no other guilt than that of 6,000,000 clay urns, the ashes of burnt Jews from all over Europe. And this guilt weighs heavily on the German people and on the German name and on all of Christendom. These things happened in our world and in our name…I regard myself as guilty as any SS man. Pastor Martin Niemoller (1892 – 1984) A leader of the church’s opposition to Hitler. He was interned in Nazi concentration camps from 1937 – 1945.
