Holocaust bystander / up stander

In my Lit class, we have been reading about some holocaust bystanders and up standers. I have learned so far that people have risked their lives for others and some even died helping. There was a man named Schindler and what he did was amazing because he saved many lives during the Holocaust. Also some of the jews were even resisting to do whatever the nazi police would tell them to do. They would riot and create armed groups. Thats when they have guns and what not. Then there were bystanders. They wouldn't do anything to help because they didn't want to be involved in the killing. They didn't want to risk their lives either. They also thought that it didn't even effect them in any way. I would have done the same because i would have been scared for my life. I don't like talking to strangers and I don't think I can keep things hidden for awhile. I wouldn't even know what to do when the time came.  I would have stayed home and live my life as it is. I'm scared of just thinking of death. Why on Earth would i want to do something so risky that it could end my life. I really don't think I am going to stand up for anything in life. I'm just going to stick to what ever I have to do.
