What is the worst event in history to have ever taken place, in your opinion? Could something like this possibly happen again?
I've never been much of a history buff, unless it's ancient history, so I don't have many things from what I have learned to choose from. However, I think it is pretty widely accepted that the Holocaust was the most awful treatment of human beings... ever. And I fully agree with that. That this is the worst event to have ever taken place in history, may be up for debate, but it's a pretty hard thing to argue against. The selection and attempted extermination of a people group is never okay. It's still going on to a certain extent in some countries. There are many places where they kill people for any religious belief other than one approved by the government. There may not be massive holding (well, killing) grounds for people like there were during the Holocaust, but people are being put to death every day around the world for being different. A mass extermination attempt could definitely be in the world's future. It's a bit scary to think about.
