Slavery vs. The Holocaust

Although slavery in America ended in the late 1800's and the Holocaust came to an end in 1945 slavery in Africa continues today.

There are many form of slavery throughout Africa. Some forms include:
Chattel- Where the slave is property of the owner, therefore it can be sold or traded at any time.
Domestic- Slaves work primarily in the household.
Pawnship- Slaves are used as collateral when taking out a loan or paying debt.
Military- Military slaves train to fight in the military and are treated like lower quality soldiers.
Slaves for sacrifice- these slaves are not around today but they used to be used to fulfill prophecies.

In Africa slave trading greatly changed population throughout the continent. Although the slave trading has been studied, it is not know how many slaves are traded annually or even how many slaves have been traded.

Although slave trade and the holocaust seem like very different things but overall they have some major similarities. Both effected the economy throughout the world. Also both abused many people and took advantages of their god given rights. In both people were transported against their will. Finally the segregation and separation were caused by race religion and beliefs.

Both the holocaust and African slave trade were terrible events in our worlds history but they are not something we can change.
