Learning about the Holocaust helps us by learning from our mistakes. That mistake of killing six million people haunts us today, but we remember because it is a reminder that we will not let that happen again. People speak out and tell their stories because they want you to remember the horrible thing they went through. They hope by sharing their stories it will prevent something like this to never happen again.
People don’t tell their story for themselves, they want you to listen. In the article This Women Was Anne Frank’s Best Friend. What She Is Doing Today Will Inspire you. It tells you how Jopie, Anne’s best friend, missed Anne after the war. She had all this pain and all this sorrow about her best friend dying, but later in life she realizes that she should share her story and her sorrow. Jopie says “If keeping Anne Frank’s memory alive could play some small role preventing future genocides, that it was her duty to do so.” She had all this sorrow about Anne. It took her many years to share her story, but she knows that if Anne’s story can prevent these horrible genocides. It is worth having to relive that pain one more time. Jopie is showing her story because she wants people to one day stop genocides. She wants them to

The article Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Holocaust Author Elie Wiesel Dies at 87. Talks about how Elie helps force the public to confront the Holocaust. He wrote a book called Night and he speaks out around the world telling people to remember the Holocaust. The article says “To forget the Holocaust, he always said, would be to kill the victims a second time.” This means that if you don’t remember the pain and the deaths it caused, it might have a chance of happening again. If people remember them they can prevent another genocide. Elie says “ Memory of evil will serve as a shield to death.” By using feeling this sorrow and loss, it protects by not allowing it to happen
We learn about the Holocaust because it is an important part of history. It teaches us about a lot of different contries and what all they have been through. It also teaches us what we lost, who we lost, and
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.
Elie Wiesel was freed at the end of the Holocaust in 1945 (106) which was only 71 years ago. (page 106) The majority of the victims have passed on, but there still remains some who can give a recount of what they experienced. This opportunity will become unattainable soon, but there is still a chance to sit down with a victim and hear their story. We owe it to the victims of the Holocaust to retell their accounts and make sure that their stories aren’t left behind in history. Also because this happened so recently it brings into perspective how possible it is for it to happen again. There are people out there capable of committing mass genocide, and even wiping out an entire group of people for whatever reason. It is essential that posterity know this and prevent it from occurring. If the book Night is taught in school, it shows students that atrocities like this should not be left on the wayside, and there is no reason for this to ever happen
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.
Literature can help us remember the Holocaust by elaborating us about the victims and what they went through. From various different texts they support how literature can help us remember World War II and to honor the victims of the Holocaust.
Education systems stress this important part of history, mainly because it was so destructive and we will never even begin to understand the importance of freedom. We all have the ability to live our own lives, speak what we want, and fulfill what destinies we want to conquer. The children of the Holocaust were stripped from their beliefs, family, and endured the stress of wondering if they would see another day, the fright of concentration camps, and the strength to survive this massacre. Children back then did not have the opportunity that us children have today. This disaster that will forever live on could have easily been avoided if we just fought back. We all have a voice, and we need to use it. We are all here fulfilling the dreams that the deceased children did not get to fulfill, and what dreams God has in store for
It is important to remember and learn from the Holocaust because we can try to prevent genocides from happening in the future. By learning from the tactics of Hitler and the Nazis when they were about to liquidate the Jews, we can tell if one person or a group is planning to kill many people.
There are many reasons why it is important to study the holocaust, and why it should not be forgotten. If the Holocaust is not studied, then we are forgetting about a very signifcant part of modern history. It should also be studied so that we can learn from it. It should not be forgotten so that it never happens again.
The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history which ended many innocent Jewish lives. Six million Jews plus many more were completely wiped out due to the effects of the Holocaust. It is still unforgivable for the things the Nazi party did and is still a very questionable subject on how they were able to accomplish such devastation. To be able to organize the removal of an entire population of people based on their religion not only takes high intelligence, but most of all takes a very twisted and demented outlook on life. Learning about the holocaust and the people involved is very important, as well as how it has affected our world today. There are many very fascinating things about the holocaust but three
“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.
One reason we study the Holocaust is for future reference. Six million Jewish men, women, and children all died because Hitler told his men to kill them. We teach people about this so we don't have someone else repeat it. Now that almost everyone knows about the Holocaust we won't have people that go along with any plan like that. It also teaches people that if they do try this they will be stopped and they will be killed or they will be in a lock down prison the rest of their life.
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.

The Holocaust has a history of disgrace and torture, a period of time where people had forgotten the meaning of humanity, but among those who had fallen into darkness and only sought for evilness there were some who refused to let themselves be engulfed into it and did all they could to save as many people as possible. Those were people who risked their lives in an act of courage to help and free the people affected by the Holocaust.
People need to remember the Holocaust because twelve million people were killed altogether, families were split apart, and relatives watched each other get killed on the spot, while others got tortured and sent to work in the camps. Lt. Cowling said in “Letters from Dachau” “Incidentally many of the dead and
