outside Reading #13

I chose to read about the topic of Persecution that the Nazi's did. I read that along with Jews, they also persecuted people with mental and physical disabilities, and homosexuals. These people were imprisoned, put in mental hospitals and concentration camps. This fact is rarely brought up when people study the Holocaust, and I think should be important to study. I didn't learn that people other than Jew's were being persecuted during the Holocaust until I watched to movie "V for Vendetta". I would have been able to get a clearer view of the subject if I would have learned it in school.
