A victim is known as a person that has limited or no-options about how to act to a certain situation to some people. I in particular, agree with this kind of statement. Since I have been learning about holocaust and how the Jews were recognized as victims, I've related the statement to the Jews.
At first, Jews did have an option to leave the country, Germany, however the other countries stopped accepting Jews in their country. Even when some people like President Roosevelt would declare the Nazis' wrong doings, they couldn't follow their statements by their actions. They could have been afraid the same thing will happen to their own country. In addition, Jews didn't have a particular chance to stand up for their choices and opinions because the Nazis were all blocking it. The Nazis just blamed and insulted the Jews just by simple reasons. One of the simple reasons would have been going outside of their houses. Apparently, that was the reality for the Jews, they couldn't do anything since it wouldn't do any better and they didn't have enough power to go against the Nazis.
As I have mentioned, I believe that it is true enough that victims are known as a person that has limited or no-options to act to a certain situation. Jews only had little choices to make even at first. Later on, the choices they could have made wasn't better than immigrating to another country. One of the reasons why the Jews struggled with "not being the victim" was because the other countries couldn't easily help but just be by-standers. Standing up for their rights was obviously one of those choices the Jews could have made, but there were Nazis who could do anything to harm them, arrest them, and torture them. Another choice that could have been made is just ignoring the fact about them being the victim and going along with it, though, this choice would have been rather difficult. These are the reasons why I believe the statement is true, a victim doesn't have a lot of choices to make or choose...
