Defiance- Are their actions justifiable?

When the Jews living in the forest in the movie "Defiance" take revenge and steal to live, I feel like it's a necessity in order to live. The revenge was pretty reckless though, considering their own could die from it, but if you put yourself in their place, parents being killed, what would you do? I know I would want to take revenge for my loved ones. The stealing is definitely something they need to do in order to have enough food and protection for theirselves and the people they're protecting.

Jewish Pictures VS Our pictures

The photo below shows Jewish kids just playing around posing for photo. The photo above suggests the same thing. Before the Germans started killing off the Jews, the kids hung out as normal life now. The kids didn't have to worry about death or getting beaten for doing something wrong. They just played around as kids should be able to do. When I compare and contrast my family and friends photos compared to the Jewish daily life photos, there isn't much of a difference. The Jews still went to school and took back to school photos, they still hung out with friends, and they got married like we do now. I chose the photo below becuase it shows before the Germans, Jewish people had social lifes.

Genocide Examples

I form of genocide I saw at the Air Force Museum was extermination, when the Germans wanted to get rid of all of the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, blacks, and other people that were "different". They created gas chambers to kill up to 150 people at a time in less than 10 minutes. So many "different" people were killed/ exterminated because Nazi Germany exterminated them.

#3 After studying the Armenian genocide, describe how your views on genecide and how it happends has changed.

My views on genocide have not change. I think it is a terrible thing to do and is evil, no matter what the reasoning is. And how it happends has not changed because I always new it was when people kill or descriminate because they don't like a certain group.

#2 If these are the 1st and 2nd stages of genocide, when do you think they become a problem?

They become a problem right when they happen. When a group starts to descriminate is when it is already getting too far.

#1 Why does genocide occur?

I would say it occurs when a powerful person or group wants to terminate another group based off of color, sexual orientation, and or religion.
