    I strongly believe this class is not for means of enjoyment but provides a gaining of knowledge and provides critical thought. The Holocaust is one of the most important and effective subjects for examining the spiritual, physical, psychological, and cultural degradation that six million Jewish people experienced for over a decade. By comparing, questioning, and analyzing the validity of the readings, films, philosophers, writers and critics I am able to become aware of the moral,…

    In conclusion, it is essential that the occurrence of the Holocaust remain in everyone's mind for those who choose to challenge the existence of established evidence, eyewitness testimonies, and the magnitude of the Holocaust. In an essay excerpt " It Is Important to Keep Alive the Memory of the Holocaust..." author Sean Lang points out that despite the wealth and detailed evidence of the Holocaust, historical revisionists still claim that the murder of nearly six million Jews never occurred. The author emphasizes that "remembering the Holocaust is not just about looking back" but is mostly for those who are bound to repeat the same acts and to ensure that no crimes are committed against humanity again. Beyond affirming that Irvin is a Holocaust…

    It was a super important part in history and why it is important to never forget about all those who had died in the Holocaust. Many people today don’t realize why it was so important to history and nobody would know how those people felt and how it was like to be in there. Everybody has their own stories to how this went. How Hitler thought that Jews were his problems, and how it impacted so many families. So, that's why it is important that we study and learn more about the Holocaust as it had a huge impact on other people's lives and how so many people had died during this…

    To teach a class about the holocaust and only show them "Life is beautiful" , would be like wanting to teach a class about World War Two and then show them a Disney movie. Not that it is a bad movie, it just does a very bad job of portraying the horrific events that occurred during the holocaust. This movie never once shows a prisoner being beaten or killed, we are left to assume that Guido was shot and left for dead. If you were just starting to learn about the holocaust and watched this movie you would think that it would have been easy for children like Guidos son Giosue to stay in the camps with their parents. If you could only show one film, this would not be a very wise choice because: it makes it seem like the Jews lived easy lives, it gives you the idea prisoners could easily defy the guards and act out, and it makes you think prisoners could easily hide children in the camps.…

    The article “The Holocaust, Part Two: The ‘Final Solution’,” explains Hitler’s plan to execute all Jews. “Hitler ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. “In 1940, his army expanded control all over Europe.” This shows how learning about the Holocaust can benefit us because we will be able to learn how to prevent another leader like Hitler from rising to power and eventually try and kill an entire race of people. Learning about the Holocaust is beneficial because if someone rises up to power like Hitler, he can be prevented from rising to power before it escalates and rises, leading to the death of millions of people from one race, just like in the Holocaust.…

The most common reason was religious beliefs. In the beginning, there was not that much violence, but then the Jews started to lose many privileges. Such as, losing the right to own a business, stay out late, own their homes, and eat any animal products.…

    Why should future generations know about the holocaust? The Holocaust was an unquestionable powerful event that all started with Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. Not only German Jews but all Jews were killed just because Hitler thought they didn’t match the characteristics of a natural born German Jew.

    The Holocaust What was the Holocaust of WWII? I have always loved the history of World War II, and the heartbreak that came with it. Hitler’s reign is very interesting, as well as disturbing.

    If Auschwitz or other concentration or death camps were not maintained as museums, remembrance of the Holocaust would decrease at every generation. Someday soon there will be no more holocaust survivors alive. It will then be their children’s job to tell the story to future generations. The story is hard to believe and almost impossible to tell unless you experienced it, thus every new generation would tell the story a bit differently, the stories would become less organic and more like any book story. Without maintaining the museum sites we would lose all first hand memory of the events.…
