What is your favorite moment in history?

I do love reading about history, and historical fiction. There are many topics that have captured my interest over the years, and I therefore have many favorites. As terrible as it sounds, tragedy fascinates me. I gravitate towards topics that detail the atrocities of humanity. Thus this explains the reason for my choosing the Holocaust as one moment in history that interests me. I find it simply astonishing that one man, Adolf Hitler, changed an entire country's perspective and murdered millions of innocent people on the basis of their religion. Even more astonishing, is the fact that thousands upon thousand of people ignored what was happening, and blamed it on "the cost of war." For these reasons, I find books, articles, movies, and other works on the Holocaust interesting. It is one of the most horrific and notorious tragedies to ever occur, and I simply can never wrap my head around it. That is,viewing the Holocaust with my modern societal views, it seems absolutely impossible to think that something like that could happen. And yet, it did. To this day, some people (albeit moderately insane people) debate wether or not this event actually occurred. It's laughable to think that there is opposition in the face of so much evidence to the contrary. All in all, while I cannot say I enjoy reading about the Holocaust, I can say that it fascinates me.
