The Holocaust and Hazelnuts
Nut of the Week: Hazelnuts
Hazelnuts are loaded with antioxidants which help decrease blood cholesterol and inflammation. They may also be beneficial to heart health and preventing certain forms of cancer.
The world has been through genocides, nuclear bombings, catastrophic natural disasters, but nothing compares to the death toll of the Holocaust. The systematic killing of millions of Jews left a wound that will never heal. Thoughts and images of the tragedy still haunt those who were lucky enough to survive it. Imagine being thrown into a gas chamber, or being roasted like hazelnuts in giant ovens. Try imaging the screams and cries as they are burnt alive and turned into ashes. It is truly a terrifying thought. Without the Allied powers, would the world have been plunged into more chaos?
Trying to imagine a world where the Axis powers won WWII may be difficult, but many others have already developed ideas of what it might be like. The TV show, "The Man in the High Castle", based on the novel of the same name by Philip K. Dick shows us a glimpse of what might have transpired. America has become divided between the the Japanese Empire which has control over the west coast and Nazi Germany which controls the rest.
Another example is the video game series "Wolfenstein" developed by Muse Studios. The games are set in an alternate reality where Nazi Germany has conquered the world. Although the games are set in the 1940's, the Nazi's have rapidly developed advanced and futuristic technology. Even the moon as well as Venus have been colonized by the Nazis.
It is intriguing to look at what could have happened if the Nazis won, but it should always remind us of the severity of The Holocaust.
