Holocaust
The Holocaust is an event that should be studied in school classes across the world. Eventhough the Holocaust is an event of the past that is very sensitive and tragic it should bestudied because it is an example of dehumanization, hatred, prejudice, brutilization, andhow not to treat people, how not to judge people, and how not to hate people. Peopleoften say that history repeats itself. If we don't study events in history like the Holocaustthen how can know what may happen in the future, or how will we know how to preventit from happening again? It is also important for not only Jews, but Gentiles as well, tostudy the Holocaust so that they will know and realize what kind of a struggle andcircumstances our ancestors and forefathers had to go through to make our lives andfutures better than theirs had to be. My knowledge of the Holocaust before studying it was very small. All I knewabout the Holocaust was that, it was an event in history where Jewish people were killedby a man named Adolf Hitler. I didn't know how cruel and merciless he was. I didn'tknow that Jews were considered less than human, and I didn't even know when or where By visiting the Holocaust museum in Detroit, MI I learned several dif
Instead of teaching them how to hate I will teach them how to love. Listening to them tell me about how badly they were treated and howthey had to watch people, sometimes even family members, be killed for absolutely noreason at all just made me feel so sorry for them. They mentioned how they were from concentration camps, to working camps,and death camps. They would talk about their families and happy and loving they werebefore the Holocaust and how they were separated from their families and now they don'thave any family. I know now that I shouldn't complain about anything and bethankful for the things I have and even don't have because some people don't even havewhat I do. I felt sobad for people that had to live and suffer through those things. Watching how strong these survivors are and listening to them tell meabout their lives and how hard they were, made me realize that I as well as others cansometimes take a lot of things for granted. Nobody tried to help them and people barely realized what they were going through. I often wonder if it were me would I ever be able totalk to anybody. Before learning about theHolocaust and visiting the museum I didn't realize that 6 million Jews had been killed. Before I didn't know that this word was actually in the dictionary with ameaning. One of which was a male and the other was a female. Despite the fact that he saved millions of livesdifferent people had different views of him. I know that Inor anyone else shouldn't hate another person for any reason. " I didn't know what itwas about and I hadn't even heard of it before.
