Should We Remember The Holocaust

Improved Essays
Bad stuff are happening in this world. Evil stuff that we thought people weren't capable of doing. After what Hitler did to those innocent people, we knew we would never have peace on this earth. Citizens from today should know about this because the holocaust was a watershed event, not only in the 20th century but also in the entire course of human history. At the end of 1934 Hitler came to power with Germany. Hitler had blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War I. Hitler was racist, he thought that Germans with fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes were the supreme form of a human. Jewish people had lived in Europe for over 2000 years. Originally Jews lived in Palestine but the romans drove them out of this land in ancient times. …show more content…
Hitler was so powerful he made his men do horrible things just cause he told them to do it. It is important to learn about this mistake. We should be careful for who we choose for president this year. We don’t want to make the same mistake and make some one so dangerous powerful. It is important to remember the holocaust because it is an example of how these trends could evolve into something far more threatening. The holocaust is more than a warning from the past. The human cost of six million lives is sad. Imagine what could have been achieved by those who died , what could have been discovered, written, invented or prevented. There is a small list of those who survived the holocaust, and those who did some of them are talented. We should never forget about what happened to the Jews. Six million innocent people died. They were abused and put in gas chambers just because Hitler didn't like them. It’s not easy to forget about that. We should never forget about that because it taught us that racism doesn’t lead to know good. What Hitler did was not acceptable but we can’t go back and change it but we can change whats going to happen in the

    The Holocaust was and is a terrible thing for all of us, but even more so for the people who lived through it in camps or in hiding and fear, especially Anne Frank, Elie Wiesel and others that lived to tell their tale. “But where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again. “(Frank 230) This is an amazing quote from Anne Frank’s diary, this is awesome because those who held on and hoped for the best, hoped for the end, and hoped for freedom survived longer than those who gave up.…

    We have been learning about the Holocaust and World War 2 for many years as part of our social studies curriculum. Most of us probably, and I hope, know that this was a bad thing for Hitler to do and be a part of. You always feel more empathy and sadness when you actually read documentaries about people that have experienced this terrible time. The story Night by Elie Wiesel shares her personal experiences of being kicked out of her hometown and being transported to the camps, what happened at the camps and the impact it had on her, and how there was so much death going on and barely anybody survived.

    “If we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices,’ Jenny Nelson says, quoting from Elie Wiesel’s Night” (“Teachers Revisits Holocaust” Mitchell). His speech is momentous as it talks about the Holocaust and what they did to all kinds of people. If we were to forget about this event, we would simply replay it all over again and this is not okay. This is why his speech is remembered, to speak of it to the children in schools, to speak of it to all of the people in the world in hopes to prevent it from happening again. Wiesel told the people, his audience, to speak up when there is injustice.…

    The Holocaust is a subject that is overlooked, misunderstood, and disregarded. Students do get taught about it in school, but it generally becomes a subject that people avoid discussing because they don’t want to offend someone. It soon became a subject that was too daunting and too terrifying to be thought of. People can’t even try to fathom the kind of evil it must take to degrade humans the way the Nazis did during the war, that they just stopped thinking about it all together. Some people even convinced themselves that the Holocaust never happened.…

    “The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society it forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and content the power of ramifications of indifference and inaction,” once said by Tim Holden. As Tim Holden said the Holocaust was a dark event caused by the consequences of others. So many people did wrong but a great amount of people also stepped up and did right on the world. For example Jeanne Daman, a Catholic heroic teacher who helped children hide, rescued adults, and reunited children with their parents. Jeanne Damon was a young teacher in Brussels.…

    In his view, the only way to truly make Germany great again was to eliminate the “root” of all of the problems: the Jews who, according to him, brought down the great German society. Hitler’s profound ability to inspire others through his words and to make “purification” seem like such a smart idea made it easier for the German people to band behind him ("Why Did Hitler Hate…

    The Holocaust is a very emotional topic for some people to discuss because of the number of Jews that were killed during World War 2 by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Since before Hitler rose to power, he had a dislike towards Jews. After he rose to power he made this dislike more well known in the country of Germany. According to Hitler, Jews were an inferior race and a threat to the German communities and the racial purity. The Holocaust is also known as Hitler’s final solution to solving issues of Jewish inferiority.…

    On January 30, 1933 the Holocaust began, Jews were taken into concentration camps not only to work, but to be puppets where doctors performed numerous experiments. They carried out a series of experiments in the camps from becoming infertile, testing war-injuries, and testing medicines. Most experiments were performed without anesthesia, bringing people to be wishing death because the pain was unbearable. Doctors gained a lot of knowledge from these experiments but they were done in a inhumane way. Why is it so important if it happened 84 years ago?…

    One of the main reasons of why people are still committing genocide, why racism and the bystander effect still exists, why this world still isn’t at peace, is because the things we learn from the Holocaust and many horrible events before and after that are not being mentioned enough times. We need to talk more about it and make people, whether they are the victim or the perpetrator, realize that if we stop mentioning these types of topics, then it can result to be so much worse than it already was and…
