Importance of the Holocaust
The Holocaust was a very dark time in history and it is painful for many to remember it. However, it is necessary to teach the effect of the Holocaust and how it impacted so many people. The Holocaust is one of the largest genocides that have ever occurred and it killed an estimate of six million Jews. The fact that so many innocent men, women, and children were mercilessly killed because of simple differences and one man's greed to be in power is completely inexcusable. Adolf Hitler, Germany's dictator at the time, was able to control so many of his countrymen to help eliminate Jews, just because he told them to do so. By allowing Hitler to have so much power, he was able to attempt to reach his goal.
Remembering the Holocaust can be one step forward to making sure something of the sort will never happen again. Those who don't remember the past can allow others to repeat it. By teaching about the Holocaust, we can educate the people of today, so that they don't make the same horrific mistakes. Developing an awareness of the differences in society can lead to an acceptance of diversity and learning to take a stand when something is wrong, while also straying away from prejudice, racism, and stereotypes.
