Racism has existed since the beginning of time. People have fought hundreds of wars in the name of racial superiority. Racial differences come between almost all people at some point, be it in war or in every day life. Robert Abzugs Inside the Vicious Heart and Philip Caputos A Rumor of War exemplify the racial differences that occurred as a result of the Holocaust and the Vietnam War. These events were based on racial discrimination and events that led to a new racial hatred.
The Holocaust was spurred by the Nazi hatred for all those who they believed to be inferior to them. Many races were victims of the Holocaust: Jews, Polish, Hungarians, Czechoslovakians, Ukrainians, Russians, French, Gypsies, and even some Germans.
