<human>:  What were some justifications for the Holocaust?
<bot>: Before we can explore the Holocaust, it’s important to establish the meaning of the word ‘justification.’ This word derives from the word ‘justice,’ so any justification of an event or situation is really a justification for what is perceived as an injustice. Can you think of examples in your life in which one person may accuse another of something (the unjustified person) but then another person or a group of people may attempt to justify that person’s actions? In this case, the group (the justifiers) is claiming that the actions are not really unjustified after all. Got it so far? Ok, now we’re ready to address your question, right?
