希特勒，犹太人和那个破碎的年代

我真不明白，为什么希特勒要杀那么多犹太人。我记得小时候，我爸和我讲故事，那时候的他总是很严肃，表情里藏着深深的悲伤。他跟我说，当年他在德国的时候，街上的犹太人就像过街老鼠，人人喊打。我觉得那个年代的人啊，心里太扭曲，也太无知了。我爸说，他的一个朋友就是个犹太人，被抓走后音信全无，那种痛苦，他一辈子都忘不掉。 说实话，有时候我以为我理解了人类历史的复杂性，但是希特勒对犹太人的所作所为，让我觉得这就是彻彻底底的邪恶。我记得有一次在网上看到一个视频，一个德国老人，说着说着就哭了，他说他小时候就知道犹太人是不受欢迎的，但是没想到历史会变成那样。那个老人，他的表情，我到现在都记得，那种愧疚和悲痛，无以言表。 老实讲，我有时候会想，是不是那个时代的教育出了问题？是不是只有无知和偏见才会导致这种悲剧？当然，现在我们都不电站这种思想，但是我们也不能忘记，历史的车轮转过一次，就可能有下一次。我们要铭记历史，防止这样的悲剧再次发生。 somewhere my grandma used to tell me stories about her childhood, during the war. She would talk about the terrifying rumors and the terrors of the night. When I was a child, I thought she was exaggerating, but now I realize how real and dark that period was. The idea that people could be so cruel to each other just because of their beliefs is absolutely mind-boggling. I mean, what kind of twisted mind would come up with such an idea? But you know, friend, I think it's more about our own flaws as human beings. Yes, maybe shortage of education, maybe cultural misunderstandings, but most of all, I suspect it's just pure evil. Because even if you remove all the external factors, evil is still evil. And evil is something that can never be excused or justified. And look, I'm not a historian or a philosopher; I don't have all the answers. But what I do know is that we need to keep learning from history, we need to keep reminding ourselves that we are not just products of our circumstances; we have free will, and we can choose to do good, or bad. Because the power of choice is what makes us human, amidst all our flaws and mistakes. And if we forget that, then history is doomed to repeat itself.
