Holocaust Exhibit

One of the things that really stood out to me about the exhibit that showed one of the stages of genocide was the boxcar. The box car was pulled by a train and had a maximum occupancy of 40 people, but the Nazi's crammed  almost 100 people in each car for days without food or water. This to me really exemplifies two different stages in genocide, polarization and dehumanization. I think the boxcar shows more of dehumanization because the Nazi's didn't care how uncomfortable they were they didn't see the Jews as human.
