Should The Modern Generation Remember The Holocaust

There are many tragic events that have happened in history and one of them is The Holocaust. The book Night written by Elie Wiesel is based on him, a Holocaust survivor, and his experience in the concentration camps. There is also an article titled “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust” by Louis Sahagun that is about Elie Wiesel speaking to students on his involvement with The Holocaust. The film Life is Beautiful is based on The Holocaust as well. It tells the story of a family in the concentration camps. The book Night, the article “Wiesel Offers Students First-Hand Account of Holocaust”, and the film Life is Beautiful share a common message of how families were affected during The Holocaust.

“There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention: victims of hunger, of racism and political persecution.” (Wiesel, 119) Throughout this novel, Night, Elie and his father, must endure the pain, and the abuse that the Nazis did to eliminate the Jewish population. Both men got sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp which tested Elie’s faith in God. Nobody should ever forget about the Holocaust because it is a part of history and everyone should learn from their mistakes and never repeat them. The following paragraphs will talk about how to avoid having history repeat itself all over again.

World War 2 and the Holocaust have helped to shape our lives today by teaching us to not make the same mistakes that we’ve made in the past. They have also shown us that we need to always keep faith and that we can always feel alone.

The Holocaust was a time that left a big scar on the culture of our world as a whole and there are still people suffering from it still to this day. In my investigation I will be looking at to what extent did the Holocaust affect the survivors, both mentally and physically upon return home from the concentration camps. I will be looking at books, both present and from the time period that talk about how they felt and what happened when they got home. I will also surf the internet, find interviews with survivors, look for articles, and newspapers from the time in order to get a better idea of what was going on in their life. I will then compare and contrast the facts at hand and pull out and mix what is the same and

There were about 500,000 living survivors of the Holocaust in 2014. It is vital for students to be taught about the Holocaust in school. The article, "combating" shows that the students need to be aware that the event did in fact happen. The article "Genocide" shows students what happens when hate against one group or culture becomes too much. Elie Wiesel's Night shows students an eyewitness account of how much violence, brutality, and abuse to the prisoners had to go through in the Holocaust. Though some people are against the subject of the Holocaust because it is too graphic or mature for the students, it is important that students learn from a trusted adult instead of letting other students try to teach it to themselves. The students should learn about the subject of the Holocaust in school because it teaches the importance of equality, about the events occurrence, and teaching about the dangers of discrimination and abuse.

No one can deny the horrific events that took place during the holocaust between 1933-1945. These tragedies have been portrayed in many famous books and movies which all aimed to share these experiences to prevent it from ever occurring again; two of these books are Maus I: A Survivor’s Tale and Maus II: And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman. Although these different artistic mediums have educated many people on the events of the holocaust, author Michael Wyschogrod argues that art “takes the sting out of suffering” and “any attempt to transform the holocaust into art demeans the holocaust” (qtd. In Russell 264).

Remembering the Holocaust in The Hunger Games (2012), Inglourious Basterds (2009), and V for Vendetta (2005)

The Holocaust was a time in history that should always be remembered. It was an event where many people died and should never be forgotten because of what they had to go through. No one ever wants to suffer like the Jews did while they were in the concentration camps. Should the Holocaust be an event that people forget?

In 1990, during a poll conducted in a single state among a group of seniors in high school, it was found 50% of the students were unable to provide any information about the Holocaust (Lang 2010). The idea that so many students are unaware of such a violent and heinous crime is incomprehensible. As many students in high schools ask today, why is it important to learn about history? The answer is history provides society a way to look back and evaluate previous mistakes. Particularly with the Holocaust, it is important to look back and identify warnings to prevent another Holocaust from occurring. However, looking back is hard to do when Holocaust Revisionism is attempting to rewrite the history of the Holocaust. Therefore, Holocaust Revisionism is a threat to societal morality by believing that the Jewish population holds immense international power and disregarding extensive evidence of the Holocaust.

The idea of an “official narrative” of the Holocaust and its memorialization is rooted more closely in its recall of emotion than in establishing factual and divergent interpretations of experiences, this “constructive forgetting,”(Christie, 2) meaning that creating a singular memory narrative of pain and suffering is more pressing than in attempting to portray divergent and intersectional experiences during the genocide. While this “constrictive forgetting” can be very successful in spreading awareness of the genocide, it can also sometimes ostracize works of memorialization by actual survivors representation of every victim and survivor’s narrative, meaning their own purpose and experience of the Holocaust can sometimes be sacrificed for the purpose of invoking greater emotion in order to spread the national consciousness of the gross violations

The Holocaust is known for its negative effects, but what many do not know is that the Holocaust also had positive effects. Due to Hitler’s dictatorship in Germany, the atrocities of concentration camps, and the anti-Semitism in other countries, the Holocaust united

The Holocaust can be called one of the darkest moments and also one of the biggest tragedies of all time as more than 15 million were killed. The Holocaust has been put into many views of what had happened but was put into a view that younger viewers can connect with, a child’s point of view. Mark Herman’s eye-opening movie, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, does an excellent job of conveying the theme that innocence blinds people from the truth. The director made sure that the message, that innocence shields the truth, is thoroughly portrayed throughout the whole movie.

I want to learn more about the holocaust. I want to learn more about this topic, because I feel that sometimes this topic has some things left out, because of how violent this action was. The experience would teach me more about how at any moment the world could change in an instant, How one day I could live a normal life and then the next day I’m taken away from everything. I feel that with this speaker it can open some people up and how they think the world is and how it should be changed. I think we should talk more about the holocaust then we already do, the holocaust was a very big event that happened and, yes we do talk about it but I don’t

In just twelve years, a heinous vision executed nearly six million Jewish people at the hands of Hitler and his followers, making the Holocaust debatably the most tragic and shameful event recorded in Earth’s history. During this time, different races, ethnicities, and religious groups were persecuted and annihilated for their beliefs that conflicted with Hitler’s persistence to eliminate the “flaws” of humanity. Hitler and his followers had one goal in mind: to cultivate a master race for the next generation. Under his guidance for Germany, countries were destroyed and millions were killed. Pain, death and suffering for millions, put towards an effort that would forever haunt survivors, and leave future generations struggling to grasp at understanding the past. As time has gone by, the number of Holocaust survivors has been decreasing expeditiously and history seems to be slipping away from one’s fingertips; however, this specific strand of events and their survivor’s legacy is continuing to reside in the current era, especially through art and literature. Novels, poetry, paintings, films, and other forms of art relating to the Holocaust quickly surfaced after the occurrence and still continue today. Artists search for a catharsis from the atrocious genocide that seems to surround them. With this newly spread genre of art, many critics rose up, like Adorno, a German philosopher, to prove that these artistic representations were degrading to the survivors and the actual

Indeed, whether it is in history or everyday life in general, a new comprehensive vision on the Holocaust, in affiliation with discrimination and predisposition, will convolutedly fuel our burgeoning brains. Similarly, not only our collection of knowledge about these matters will proliferate, but rather it may even institute some new inquiries and symposiums to even you, providing you with more insight on the arguments relating to the Holocaust. In addition, speaking and conferring with a class may even bring up some new challenges and milestones for you to overcome, as presentational and communication skills are a key in such discussions and panels, and in any field of study. Moreover, in speaking to millennials shall validate a gap, as millennials are more frivolous and one dimension, unlike the ongoing students at St. Elizabeth’s School. Not to mention, an exceeding extent of mastery we have acquired about the Holocaust has come from a grimy and predominantly outdated textbook, unable to advance with ongoing studies in this field. Thus, we very much yearning for a taste of your expertise in the field of study, concerning the Holocaust, to make critical connections between the past and the present, through the themes of discrimination, prejudice, and
