Unfair Trials: Salem Witch Trials/Concentration Camps etc.

Unfair Trials

 

The Salem witch trials obviously had unfair trials. The convicted could not prove their innocence. If you were suspected of doing wrong then you were basically guilty until proven innocent. And sometimes if you were found innocent it was after you were already dead.
There is one, huge event that happened during World War II that defiantly shows unfair trials towards thousands of people. The Holocaust was mainly unfair towards the Jews. Germany's banking system was ran by Jews for the most part. After somethings went wrong with the banks the Jews were blamed for the problems. Adolf Hilter promised the Germans that if he would be elected he would do many great things and improve their situation. The people loved his ideas, because for the most part the people were so disparate for a new positive move out of their situation.
Hilter soon after had their votes. He was now in control of their lives and soon would run them and no one realized it. Being human, when something goes wrong we like to have something else to blame the problem on. Hilter blamed the Jews for getting Germany into a mess. Ethnic cleansing was in the air. The Jews were to be punished no matter the gender nor age. Five point one million Jews were about to die.
Innocent children were put in gas chambers, put to work, starved, and went through harsh punishments for nothing that they did. You were not looked at as a child in the concentration camps, you were looked at as another adult who could “handle” the harsh environments. For the most part you were to be worked to death if you were lucky enough to miss a turn to the gas chambers.
New arriver's to the concentration camps would be put into lines, one for the men/boys and another for the woman/girls. And at random selection you automatically went to the “showers” where you were poisoned with gases. You were led like a lost dog to your death without ever knowing it. There was no fighting back to try and save yourself much less anyone else. You would most likely be killed on the spot if trying to do so. Besides getting poisoned you could be hanged as well.
The Holocaust and the Salem witch trials both have unfair trials. People were being killed at random with no self defense of any kind.

Interesting thoughts, but do you intend to propose any solutions? At the moment, it rather seems like you're just ranting about the fallen state of society, which most people are already aware of. Do you propose any solutions to the obvious problems?
