Many people don’t remember the Holocaust and its slowly moving away from history. A small amount of Jewish survivors who are alive today, and most of them were affected by the Holocaust camps and the ghettos. There are very few people who remember the Holocaust because it was so long ago. They should remember this because it is very important to learn and live. Some people who remember this time are survivors from the Holocaust. One survivor is Elie Wiesel who became an author when he came out of the Holocaust. Another example is Ida and Adam who are twin siblings from the Holocaust. Gerda Weissmann was another survivor from the Holocaust. Things today like History in school and museum’s were the Holocaust.
Elie Wiesel was a survivor who went

Gerda was 15 when she was moved into a ghetto called the Bielsko ghetto in 1939 ,September 1. Gerda had an older brother who was 19. But that changed when young men 16 and up had to sign up for the army. Now it was just Gerda and her parents. Then german fighter planes appeared overhead, causing people to flee the city. Her family remanded in the town. In the morning, she heard intense shouting and saw Nazi’s on motorcycles shouting “Heil Hitler”. One day women and men were separated and asked to be put in lines. Gerda was in the line with her mother and a guard asked her how old she was and she said, “18”. Then she was put in a truck a shouting at her mother to ask where she was going and her mother said she didn’t know. Gerda jumped out of the truck but a SS officer caught her and said to her that she was too young to die. Then she knew that her mother was going to die. After Gerda being moved into the ghetto she was deported in 1942 to work in a factory in Bolkenhain, Silesia. Besides the of all the labor and hunger there was caring caring between the inmates. A German supervisor, Mrs. Kugler, saved Gerda’s life because when Gerda got sick and the SS men had to inspected her to see if she should continue working or die.

The skokie march was important in Illinois because when after the Holocaust was over some of the survivors were still alive but had no homes. So America helped the survivors by letting them have it easy until they can pay for their house, family, food, and job. So most of them went to Skokie Illinois to live in. When Neo Nazi’s came around the corner the Jews had to do something about because they weren't going to let the holocaust happen again with a new generation. In Skokie there were Neo Nazi’s going around the town with signs saying put Jews in gas chambers and let them die. When the Jews saw this they started to scream and shout at the Neo Nazi’s telling them to stop. But they didn’t so the Jews in the town started a March and later the Neo Nazi’s stop because of what the government noticed and government's new rule was to them. In 1977 lots of Jew were feeling scared because at that time they didn’t know what to do. They didn’t want it to happen again but they get scared. The Skokie March affected the Jews to help others in the
Let me answer a similar question first similar question “Why do we still care about the Holocaust? Why we teach the Holocaust in our history books?” Person from United States Holocaust Memorial Museum said “The Holocaust was not an accident in history; it occurred because individuals,
I think it is very important that people today know about the Holocaust because it was a key learning experience in the world. If people aren’t educated on the Holocaust, we risk losing the memories and facts about the Holocaust that are essential to history. People also need to be educated on the Holocaust to make sure that it will never happen again to other people for whatever reason it might be. Another important reason why people should know about it is so they know that they are living a way better life than what these poor Jewish people got to during the
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest," a quote by Elie Wiesel. In history we always make sure that we remember what was important, and even some of the things that weren't. This may seem like it doesn't matter, like it's utterly irrelevant, but I promise it is actually very important. The Holocaust was a exceedingly important event in history, it should be known by everybody and every generation, while never being forgotten. This is because it is a significant example of what cruel people can do in this world, it shows us what mistakes not to make again, and it helped our world believe that people can be different without being killed.
We Remember the Holocaust is a great introduction to the Holocaust and is related by different survivors. It is written in easy to understand language and answers a lot of questions about that terrible time in history. It includes some disturbing photographs because most of the living in them died horrible deaths shortly after they were taken. They are necessary because they help the reader see the truth of what happened. Survivors’ stories are told along with the facts of that time. The book carries the reader beginning just before the Holocaust at the end of the First World War and the toll inflation took on everyone in Germany, including the Jews. It relates the way Hitler used speeches to convince Germans that Jews and Communists were to
forgotten. It is very keep in mind all the struggling and discomfort ,so that history
The Holocaust will be a moment in history that will never be forgotten due to the many lives that were lost. Jewish people were tortured not being fed enough food, being forced to work under tough conditions, being beaten if even the slightest inconvenience to the Germans. There was overcrowding in the bunks, more than one family would be kept there, and many Jews were being tested on like rats by Nazi doctors.
The Holocaust was a tragic piece of the worlds history. It happened from 1933 to 1945, and it was a mass killing and discrimination against people of certain races. They started with the Nuremberg Laws when Hitler became the most powerful. Hitler was a strange man who blamed Jews for the fall of Germany. There are several reasons as to why we study the Holocaust, the most important is so we never face something like this again.
The Holocaust is a grim reminder of the true depths of human nature. It is easy, if not preferable, to think these type of horrors are behind us in the current, modern world. They think the atrocities are that of the past, recorded in books. It has no real place in today’s world because everything has changed since. This is a naive way of thinking for a lot of people.
The Holocaust is a topic that some think of as a very essential part of history that students should learn about. On the other hand, some would argue that it is too severe for middle school students. Without a doubt, Nazis abused their large power and used it towards destruction and in so, violated civil rights and killed 6 million Jews. The Holocaust was a turning point in history that is only taught based on the judgement of schools. The Holocaust Museum in Houston says, “During the Holocaust religious, moral, and legal systems failed in deterring the dangers of prejudice.” This can compare to how there is a large debate on whether students should or shouldn’t learn about the Holocaust and topics similar to it. The Holocaust was a major part of history that has influenced many people and advanced the future to where we are now; thus, we should educate the the younger generation since teaching about the Holocaust enables you to advance into a better human being, students can use their critical thinking skills, and it honors those who have passed and survived.
Imagine yourself being born as a Jew in the time of the Holocaust. Being forced to go into hiding, and go every day not knowing what will come next, living in fear of being captured by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. The Holocaust was a time in period when a guy named Adolf Hitler came into power of being the leader of the Nazis. The Nazis rounded and relocated nearly 1 million Jews from all across Europe to forced labor camps and extermination camps. There were different ways they got rid of the Jews. A quarter of the Jews were worked to death. The rest were sent immediately to gas chambers to be killed. Literature helps us remember and honor the victims of the Holocaust by reading and seeing all the suffering they went through.
Let’s take a moment and go back to the Holocaust. The Holocaust is a depressing time. Hitler was a horrible person and hated Jews. He wanted them all to die. The Holocaust began January 1933. Hitler started it all! “Over 1.1 million children died.” (important) Just children! It technically ended May 8, 1945. The Holocaust affected over 15 different countries. Anne Frank is one person that was remembered. She did die but she had a ruff life. She died from a sickness “Typhus at the Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp.” (91) If the Holocaust did not happen then these people wouldn’t have been remembered, although they would have lived a better life and live longer.
The Holocaust was a horrific event. Nazis exterminating around 6 million Jewish people in about the span of 4 years. Gassing, burning alive, and shooting the victims were main ways this awful event was committed. The Holocaust has over time become one of the biggest sections of literature and as more years pass since the Holocaust more works of literature are written on the subject. Now, the Holocaust has been more widely denied by a greater group of people. Although this makes a minimal percentage in the United States, other countries, especially in the Middle East, have a bigger denial. Holocaust literature as a whole helps people understand and honors the nightmarish and gruesome actuality of the Holocaust because it is accurate, it exposes the truth about the event, and makes us remember the event that is horribly disgusting.
The Holocaust not only affected the areas where it took place, it affected the entire world. Even though Jewish people were the main victims in the Holocaust, it also left lasting effects on other groups of people. Both the Nazi and Jewish decedents still feel the aftermath of one of the most horrific counts of genocide that the world has ever encountered. The cries of the victims in concentration camps still ring around the globe today, and they are not easily ignored. Although the Holocaust took place during World War Two, the effects that it had on the world are still prominent today.
The Holocaust just didn’t effect the Jews it affected others and future generations. There are many lessons that we can learn from the Holocaust and how we can stop them from happening again. Some of these lessons are to be able to prevent these events, protect them in case they occur and to remember the event.
Learning about the Holocaust helps students learn about the way the world works. Students can use the past to understand the present. The dangers of the Holocaust are still present today, although at a much smaller scale. Learning about the Holocaust can help students to see these dangers and confront them. Holocaust education can also help children to understand how people rise to power using modern
