"After watching the movie Defiance and then seeing what the US response to the Holocaust was at the time, describe what you think the proper response of one of the individuals that you labeled as "guilty" on your worksheet should have been to what was happening. Next, describe what the proper response of the US to the Holocaust should have been as it was occurring and while we were fighting Nazi Germany during WWII. Finally, describe your views on how the international community should respond to genocide when it happens today (for example, in Syria)."
The proper response to someone who was labeled as guilty was to stand up for what was right. The person who was making the Zyklon B gas could have protested and stopped making the gas. The USA should have had more of an initiative to help out the Jewish population and should have put more of are effort at sabotaging the Nazi campaign, like infiltrating and destroying death camps. Today, people who are in the international community should not only disapprove the genocides, but should try and show any support the can. The many can overcome the few.
