  1. The Nature Of Human Beings By: Nick Vlodek

  2. What is a Hero? • By definition, a hero is a man who is admired for his achievements and noble qualities or one that shows great courage.

  3. What Was The Holocaust? • The Holocaust was the mass killing of six million Jews in Europe during World War II. • Adolf Hitler was in power and ushered in the Holocaust. • Hitler convinced the German population that the white race was superior to other races. • He said that the German people were superior to all others in the world and that they should rise up into the power they deserved.

  4. What Does It Mean To Be A Righteous Person? • The definition of a righteous person is someone who acts in accordance with virtue; someone who is without guilt or sin.

  5. Was Oskar Shindler A Hero? • Oskar Schindler spent most of his money in order to run a factory. • He hired about 1200 Jewish workers so they could be pulled out of the concentration camps. • Schindler was a hero. • He showed great courage for risking himself to save the Jews at risk. • He is greatly admired by all of the Jewish people who he saved (as shown by the ring he was given) and many other people today.

  6. Did He Have A Choice? • Schindler had a choice to save the Jews, and that is why he was a hero. • He could have just hired non-Jewish workers, but he decided to use his wealth and influence to save as many Jews as he could.

  7. Was He A Moral Person? • The definition of a moral person is someone who operates or functions based on one’s conscience or ethical judgment; someone capable of right and wrong. • Schindler was definitely a moral person because although he saved many human beings during the holocaust, he showed he was capable of wrong actions as well. • Along with having countless affairs, he first tried to capitalize on the Holocaust by opening a factory where he made enamelware for the German army.

  8. Why Do Cultures Discriminate or Kill Based on Religion? • Religion is a very sacred thing to many people around the world. • People don’t want the most sacred thing in the world to them to be disrespected. • Many people will do something simply because they are given orders by someone in a position of power in the religion. • Some people have been brainwashed to believe that if you are not a member of their religion that you are the enemy, and the enemy must be wiped out.

  9. Who Would Risk Everything to Protect Fellow Man? Why? • Someone who is very caring and different from most other people would risk everything to protect others. • The only explanation of this would be that they have a deep conscience that makes them feel like they need to help other people before thinking of themselves.
