4-29-14 Pds. 1/2 Holocaust Essay A Key To The Code Of Hope

Imagine being home eating your lunch peacefully with your family, and then having soldiers drag you and your family out into an old, uncomfortable military truck. You wouldn’t be able to get any of your belongings, just imagine that. Would you be okay having that happen to you? Many parents and adults believe sixth graders are too young to learn about this topic, but children our age and younger suffered living thorough this time and many didn’t survive. Sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust.

Do you think in the near future, something like the Holocaust would happen? If so then understand the one reason we should be learning about his topic. Today, genocides like the Holocaust and other competitions for killing is still going on today. Some people today in the same country don't respect each other, and you could be one of them. But, imagine having your entire country going against you because of what you believe in, and how you look.

Another reason why sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is because kids our age suffered through this time period. You may think ‘oh yeah so what?’ knowing when your going to die is scary, but not knowing when your life is going to end you’ll be as happy as can be. It wouldn’t be fair if we don’t learn about the Holocaust because we are mature enough, and we couldn’t be stopped by someone who disagrees we should be learning about this. Kids our age were in these camps starved, and dies because of how they were taken care of. The Armenian Genocide was like the Holocaust because healthy hard workers were taken for getting a poisonous injection and not even knowing. If kids our age went through this tragedy and survived, we can learn to be grateful of what we have, and be hopeful.

A third reason why sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is that we remember those who dies, and respect those who survived. Do you think it would make a difference if we didn’t respect the survivors? Just imagine having your sister or brother be sent away to camp, and later finding out they were killed. It would be the worst if that was you and so many people cared about you. Even though some people may strongly dislike others, we are like family and we shouldn’t be killing each other because of what they look like, what they believe in, all that matters is that you understand them and need them.

Even though people understand the Holocaust and respect it, others would want this tragedy to happen again to show what kind of power that have against others. Do you think the Holocaust was suppose to happen in history? Would you kill an innocent person because of how they look or what they believe in? A Holocaust survivor said “ I wonder whether the world learned anything? The way you look around the world today you wonder- What did we learn from the Holocaust?” The Holocaust taught me many things that I would of never or learned in the future or now. I hope one day there would be no hatred among people and just be peace.
