Geography's Role in the Holocaust

1.Geography was very important in the Holocaust. Geography was utilized by Nazi's to hide the atrocities they were committing by committing them outside of Germany and far away from Berlin.The Auschwitz video shows that reveals that all of the death camps were in Poland instead of Germany. The Nazi's placed these camps outside of Germany in order to hide their evil deeds from German citizens. In the Holocaust video I found another example of Germans using geography to hide their atrocities. To quote the narrator,"The Germans established ghettos in occupied eastern territories, isolating and persecuting the Jewish population". The narrator tells us that the Germans established ghettos in foreign countries, not Germany. this is a prime example of Germans using geography to hide their sins.
2.The museum is definitely attempting to be a memorial with the somber tone of its videos, and thought provoking facts about the Holocaust. The use of pictures also gives the website memorial like qualities. The website clearly is a memorial to the suffering of the Jews during the Holocaust. The information may be presented under the bias of a Jew towards the holocaust. The website assumes that its visitors believe that the Holocaust was a real thing. A website does not count as a monument because it is easily erased from existence; It is much easier to delete a website than a statue. A museum is a monument because it is a physical specimen and more times than not it will be around for a while.
