Between 1939 and 1945 over six million innocent people died in Europe. One man named Adolph Hitler persuaded a whole nation to exterminate a whole race of Jews and other minorities. The holocaust as it was called took place in central Europe and was taken into effect when the Nazi party came to power in Germany. The Nazi party single handedly caused the murder of 11 million people and the bloodiest, most expensive war of all time. What can we learn from the holocaust to use in our lives?
Every day people argue whether or not we should remember the Holocaust. In my opinion there is no question about it, I feel bitterly one-sided which goes against any historians morals, but in spite of this, how can the entire nation abolish all the evidence. It is extremely difficult to forget about the diary of Anne Frank- the heart wrenching pain and brutal life she and her family endured pasted on to us so that we acquire a glimpse of what it was like to be put into her shoes. How could we just forget the six million people who were murdered (more than the total population of Ireland)? Six million of those being Jews, which 1.5 million of them being children? - Just because supposedly they were imperfect, at the end of the day they were human beings no matter what the religious background or ethnic race was. I fail to comprehend the logic of those people who wish to forget about this atrocious but paramount event. Millions of Jews died during the Holocaust. The gas chambers, fire experiments, air pressure experiments, and other unjust tests were carried out upon them, treated as though they were animals and even animals should not be subjected to such torture.
