Remembering the Horror

Alone. I bet that’s how the prisoners of the Nazis felt. The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in human history. Yet, many people don’t think we should learn about this time. I disagree with those people, we should learn about the Holocaust.

Do you know how many people died? 11 million! “ People died! they had no burial. They must be remembered in some way.” This is how my mom feels about the Holocaust. I agree with her. Many people died and sadly no one has any memory of them. Sad isn’t it. They deserve to have people know the horror they went through. ANd there are many people who survived. They have to live with those memories every day for the rest of their lives. And their stories have to be told. They won’t be around forever. we must learn about this time.

“ For all we know, the one kid who doesn’t learn about the Holocaust could cause the next great genocide,” is my dad’s opinion on learning about the Holocaust. There have been 15 genocides since the Holocaust. Some have been in China, Columbia, and Pakistan. And think. The next great genocide could be even worse than Hitler’s Final Solution. If people learn from the Holocaust, they could rethink the whole idea of them causing a genocide. I just want to ask anyone who doesn’t think kids should learn about the Holocaust. Do you really want your rather have your kid not know or have thousand or maybe millions of people to die?

The Holocaust is an important piece of history. Not learning about it is like not learning about the American Revolutionary War. And if we don’t learn, human nature will repeat itself.
