In order to fix the error, I made a trip to SFU today.  There is a small exhibition about the holocaust in the convocation mall.  This week is to memorize the millions Jews died under the Nazi in second world war.  I spent a few minutes, walked thru the poster boards, briefly read the text and the photos.  I have read about this piece of history and seen in movie many times.  It is a no brainer to figure out why Hilter is evil to systmeically kill all the Jews in Europe.  I have a few questions pops up in my mind while I in the exhibition, If Hilter wasn&#8217;t anti-semtic, and Nazi is merely a fascism but not racism govnerment, could German win the WWII?  What is the merit of genocide?  Wouldn&#8217;t overwrite their culture, force them to assimilate has more benefit?  Is it more humane to give them an option to convert before killing them?  Why don&#8217;t the Jews fight back?  There are several million of Jews in Europe, only if 0.1% of them are sucide bombers like the Arabs, Nazi would be in big trouble.  I don&#8217;t have the answers to these questions but they worth a deeper thought.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The undergrad admission office screwed my application, the computer system showing I have applied to the computer science diploma instead of philosophy.
