Should The Modern Generation Remember The Holocaust

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.

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

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

“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.

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

The Holocaust is one of (If not the worst) the worst times in our world’s history. Regrettably, The Holocaust can relate to many problems in our society today. Multifarious conflicts today are started by the same thing: Race.

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?

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

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 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

“Differing and personal opinions, reflections and experiences of events can provoke great debate in the way in which history is recorded and interpreted”. History is the apex of evidence that portrays a past event, it’s reliant on facts, attitudes and cultural values and is trusted with being the most objective and reliable way to view events, personalities or situations. Memory however is an individual’s recollection of the past, and it being personal and subjective, is fragile and often biased. The texts “The Fiftieth Gate”, ‘A beautiful life’ and “Maus” all explore the relationship and link between the history and memory of the Holocaust.

The news anchor Tom Holden once said, “ The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction.”. The Holocaust was the mass murder of Jews in 1933. The Holocaust lasted from January 30,1933 to May 8,1945. The person who led the genocide was Adolf Hitler. Many wonder what made the Holocaust possible, why people participated in it, and what could have prevented it. In this essay, I will answer those three questions.

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).

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
