New arrest as Germany links neo-Nazis to 10 murders

This article was very shocking because in the time since the Holocaust, people have began to imagine Nazis as more of a historical group with forbidden and extremist ideas instead one existing in our current day society. It amazes us that there are still people in the world who have not adopted the views of the general public and have not realized the importance of equality and justice. It scares us to hear and remember that there are still close-minded and ignorant views and opinions that exist in the world, as we, in our sheltered lives, often do not come in contact with these firsthand and are given a false sense of security and justice. It is scary to think that multiple people were so close-minded as to kill 10 others (nine foreigners and a local policewoman) so maliciously. The fact that groups like these have been so overlooked by the public is frightening to us, and suggests that we, as members of society, must do our part to stay as aware and educated as possible.
