Visiting Mauthausen Concentration Camp - Part 2

Although they were the primary target of the Nazis, Jews were not the only victims of Nazi oppression. Throughout the walls of Mauthausen names can be seen, but not just the names of Jews. The names of Spaniards, Italians, Croats, and Serbs can all be seen throughout the mining complex. The Nazis not only hated people because of their race but because of how they thought, how they talked, how they walked, and how they lived. And in a time like now with such political division rampant, we must focus not on what divides us but what we have in common and how we can all come together to make the world a better place than it already is.
