Hi, I am Violette, I have had a pretty rough year and kinda need someone ( or something) to vent to. So here I go! I used to have a friend named Ella, Ella was nice but I could always tell that she was never really happy and did not like certain people. I had known Ella since I was about 5 and I am 14 as of writing this. I loved being Ella's friend so much! I loved laughing with her and just having fun. But one day everything I knew about Ella changed. She came into school and was grumpy and would not talk to me. After I got out of school I tried to talk to her but she started yelling at me, she said I was a horrible person and that I should kill myself. I was extremely sad. She would never say that! Would she? But she did so I got over it and I told my parents. The next day I went to my local synagogue and that is when my world turned upside down. All of the sudden a man jumped through the doors and open fired at everybody there. My dad tried to stop him but the man shot him. My dad sadly passed that day. When the police came and detained the man it was too late. My dad was dead. I and my mom went outside to talk about what went down in the synagogue and then I spotted something, a Swastika symbol. I screamed and when my mom saw it she rushed me home. I was so terrified because of that day’s events. I immediately fell into my sleep. When I went back to school I saw Ella. And she had black paint all over her hand’s. I remembered then what she said to me and then the Swastika on the synagogue. It was black, and there was black paint on her hands. I ran to the principal and told her what happened and she then had a meeting with Ella. Ella was eventually expelled from the school and had to move. I still have issues but now I feel more at peace, I feel better.

Although this is a horrible issue and it seems like there is no hope, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. People are taking to social media like Instagram and Twitter to stop this. Peaceful rallies happen in countries all over the world. We people unite against this horrible topic and don't stand by it. World leaders come out and try to stop this. We try to get rid off of this. We empower others and help our fellow people. People risk their lives every year to go to rallies and protests to stop the neo-nazis. We have not given up yet and we will not give up until the neo-nazis are gone.

The world should be concerned with this issue because when nazism first came out it caused a world war. I don't think the world wants another huge war. Nowadays nazism targets more people. Nazism targets jews and even includes white supremism. We should abolish hate not spread it. Because of the neo-nazis more and more hate is in this world. We already have so much hate, we don't need anymore. Shooting after shooting the world falls apart, because of these people we could have another world war. ( I don’t think the world wants more losses.) nazism is extremely dangerous and sends chills down people's spines. And the worst part is how much hatred is in these people’s eyes. The wake nazi’s leave includes death and fear. Aren't we trying to get rid of hate?

Our community has been greatly affected by this huge issue, Many Americans have died or had someone they know die. Nazis strike fear into many people leaving them petrified. When kids find out a parent or sibling is dead imagine how heartbreaking that is. About 22 million people in the US support neo-nazis. Some don't take as much action as others but most take action. More and more people are getting succeed into neo-nazism each year. The FBI recently said in 2017 there was an increase in people becoming neo-nazis for the third year in a row. This is how our community has been affected

Neo-Nazism is a huge issue all over the world. Not only does it kill people around the world but we also have it here in America. But first, let's go back to where Nazism comes from. Before world war 2 there was a guy named Adolf Hitler. Hitler hated Jews for no reason. He thought they were imperfect and not “ Ayran”. Aryan is short for what Hitler called The Aryan Race. The people in the Aryan race where considered perfect. Not long after Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany he started a massive genocide of jews. He put them in concentration camps that eventually killed them. That launched the whole world into war. Eventually, The good guys won the war and all the people in the in the camps freed and safe. But the Nazis were still there. An that is how we still have Nazis. But now we call them neo-nazis. Neo-nazism was not huge until August 2017 when it erupted. Now it is more of a subculture in America than a horrible thing. Every year more and more nazis cause death. For example during 2015 a man in Charleston who supports the neo-nazis went to a synagogue and open fired at 9 people killing them.
