History of Sorts

The lesson we haven’t learned from the Holocaust is that we are still putting people in groups.

One of the reasons why the Nazis were so efficient in killing millions was they assigned people into groups. It made it easier for the “normal” citizens to accept the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust.

When someone is different from you, it could make you indifferent to that person and their fate.

Today, we do the same thing, but we have replaced the idea of groups with the scientific term—Ethnicity.

Determining that someone has a different ethnicity makes it easier to look away from what happens to them.

It is true that different people have some distinct genetic characteristics. However—the similarities we all have outweigh the differences.

Even in some Holocaust literature, I have seen the term Ethnicity. Only if we start to accept that there is only one Ethnicity, namely Human, and only then can we start thinking of eradicating hate and indifference.
