Story Of The Assisi Network

In studying the rescuers and aid to Jews during the Holocaust, there are few, if any, factors that prove to universally explain why people decided to help. These people defied most demographics; class, country, religion, and even included anti-Semites, though economic and practical determinations were involved so much as one’s ability to help is determined by economic/practical restraints. Even so, most, if not all, of these people did have the propensity for helping and service to other prior to helping Jews of the Holocaust. Nechama Tec and later Perry Lendon found this to be true, showing that in these people was an instinct to help, regardless of their feelings towards Jews. This characteristic coincided with independent, self-reliant people who felt less attached to social demands and saw helping as a fact rather than heroic act.

Learning about the Holocaust is important because it is a big part of world history. It teaches us about the traumatic events of World War II (WWII). It also shows us how people suffered, starved, and even died. Another thing it shows us is what events can occur when there is an abuse of power. The word Holocaust means, "sacrifice by fire".

The Holocaust was an example of extreme institutional racism and remembering the events is a good way to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. This requires an understanding of tolerance and why people lack it. If we figure this out, we can teach against these habits and rehabilitate those who have them to make the world better.

Without the Holocaust we would have one less important part of history to have the gift of learning about, or one less opportunity to look back on our mistakes and learn how to fix it. As a matter of fact, you could argue that the Holocaust is too complicated and diverse for students to be learning, and even that it is not important to history. However, the Holocaust was such a significant historical event that if it were not to happen our modern world could be quite different without such a mass event. Next, teaching about the Holocaust gives students the awareness and acceptance of diversity. In fact, it helps students understand prejudice, racism, and stereotyping.

While the Holocaust may be a difficult topic for students to study in school, it still plays an important role in the history of our world and as a result should continue to be taught to all. It is not only important that the students learn about the Holocaust because is was arguably one of the largest acts of allowed discrimination and racism but because it helps students to learn why what happened was wrong so that they do not promote the kind of behavior shown during WWII and we have to experience another Holocaust. In other words, students need to learn about the Holocaust so it does not happen again in the future. While another genocide as damaging as the Holocaust does not seem possible, there are still people all throughout the world

The Holocaust educated the world on the topic of humanity. It answered the question of just how far a human would be willing to go. It was one of the most atrocious points in history. Victims were being exterminated like insects. Other people were turning into monsters, blind to the innocent humans that they were throwing in mass graves. If the Holocaust had never happened, people would say that human cruelty was only a side effect of the primitive lifestyle humans were living prior to industrialization. Most people would like to leave it at this and say that “civilized” humans would never commit such atrocious crimes. The truth is, as the Holocaust showed in an industrial age, mankind is capable of terrifying levels of evil, and this evil is not limited to a lack of civilization. In order to overcome this, humans must be brave enough to face it and learn from past mistakes. If people can do this, then they can improve and learn how to defend against these patterns. The Holocaust showed a side of humans that had not quite been exposed to that degree, it destroyed a group of innocent people and it left a gaping scar in the in the ideals of justice and the heart of humanity.

We have seen that the Holocaust was a terrible event that we hope to never see again. It affected so many people back when it happened and it could possibly still affect people today. Young children that survived the holocaust could still be alive today. The ones that are alive and still remember the terrible and tragic events that happened are never going to forget what happened to them. Jews had been persecuted and killed for hundreds of years, but the Holocaust brought to people’s attention that the discrimination towards Jews was really bad. Hopefully the Holocaust will bring to people’s attention of how bad the discrimination was.

It is important for young people to know the horrific nature of the Holocaust. They need to know about the Nazis so people can be able to stand up for what they believe in and respect everyone. Also, even though we make look different, we are all equal. It is important to know these differences and embrace it, but at the same time to be tolerant to one another. The reason the Holocaust happened in the first place was due to people’s ignorance and rash thinking. As the future generation, young individuals need to know that actions have

The Holocaust should be a time period that shall not be forgotten. Everyone must recall all the cruel things that happened during that time period. So many people never got to experience life, for it had been cut to short because of their ethnicity. Everyone must learn, and study this so there will never be anyone following in the footsteps of the people who caused it. The words can only tell what was faced, but not a soul could fully understand how it really felt.

In situations of crises, people can have different reactions; some people might be destroyed by the hardships associated with being forcefully imprisoned in concentration camps, others may transcend above these crises through their strengths. In fact, many people in the Holocaust reacted differently; some by rising above with strength and determination while others exiled their faith to the shadows forever. Throughout history, several different reactions have been accounted for but some do not take the time to think of why survivors reacted in the manner that they did. By doing this, many people will gain greater insight on just how devastating the Holocaust was, even though some chose to make light out of darkness. Therefore, though the Holocaust is a despicable time in history, many chose to write memoirs about it in order to share their tales of both devastation and conquer to all who were unaware of the Holocaust’s significant affect on people (since many chose to turn their heads the other way while this was happening.) Overall, there were mixed reactions regarding the Holocaust, some using it to make themselves stronger, while others were severely affected; suffering from blows that would never heal.

We learn about the Holocaust to learn what is right and wrong and to remember the people who died. The main reason we learn about the Holocaust is so it does not happen again.

Chaim Chefer wrote, No other event in current history created so many stories of atrocities and horror as the Holocaust. Much has been written on the victimization of millions and the senseless murder of 11 million human beings. It is rare to find any sliver of goodness during that horrible time in history. Yet there are incredible stories of courage and humanity that are just beginning to be told… Just as we should never forget the horrors of the Holocaust, we should also never forget the heroes of the Holocaust... Most of the victims unfortunately had no control -- no choice in their destiny. The rescuers, on the other hand, had choices. They could have chosen to have looked the other way -- as many around the world did. But not the heroes.

“Man is not born good. He becomes good by learning there is another beside him and another above him.”-Unknown. The Holocaust must be remembered to prevent genocide from happening again. This must be prevented from happening at all within the future of the entire planet. There will be people that will try and overthrow a certain race of people but the Holocaust has taught many people that it is very wrong and inhumane. The Holocaust was very tragical but, maybe their was a good thing behind all of those deaths. There may have been a light behind all of the darkness. That light consisted of people learning that destroying an entire race of people can be very damaging to everyone and it can affect the outcome of history. Therefore preventing any extreme extermination of many and multiple human races. This is why we must remember the Holocaust and its damaging effects on the human race but, there are reasons it should be forgotten.

Why do we need to study the holocaust? So we never forget about that terrible things that happened. It was a very important and terrible time in history. It teaches us so many lessons . One is don’t judge people by what they believe or what they look like. If you look at it different ways then you see a lot of lesson that you can learn from the holocaust.

We continue to learn about the Holocaust it provides us with information for examining basic moral issues. The aim of this topic is to engage and inspire students to think critically and prevent us from making the same mistakes that were made in the past. We learn about the Holocaust to gain more knowledge on how people (Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals) had survived that period, and if something related to that happens today then we are aware on how to overcome the situation. The Holocaust was organized by the Nazis, after World War 1 the Germans were defeated which led to the Jews being responsible for the loss of the war. After all, Hitler disliked the Jews because they had a large amount of the economy (wanted their merchandises and expert
