WWII was a time of dead time in which reality was so harsh that realization of life was non-existent to those caught in the firey grip of hatred. Germany had practiced horrendous actions in order to retain control of Europe, by imposing policies and decrees which lead to genocide. The extermination of the Jews was Hitler's scapegoat concentrating blame into one group. The result of this scornful perspective lead to the death of around six million Jewish people, something which sane humans should never have the mental capacity to execute.
Other events such as the destruction of the Carthage, the Crusades, and the Armenians all fall into the catagory of a crime without a name. When one looks at the heart and soul of exterminating an entire race there is an incredible lack of reason and humanity. Not in any scenario does one person or group of people have the right to determine whether a race should remain on the face of the earth. This type of butchery is not even seen in the wild, one must evaluate worldly events and situations and ask themself; is this right? The answer is clear, yet millions of people still fall victim to what we call "a crime without a name".
