History class in itself has a specific purpose which seems to be frequently forgotten. We learn about violent and horrible events in our past, as well as life- changing and positively impacting ones. From the negative events, we learn what went wrong and how to prevent similar tragedies from happening. From the positive, we gather knowledge and comprehension of the basis of our modern society. We are a self- repairing race, analyzing every flaw and figuring out what caused it. It's an ancient practice, trial and error is human nature. However, one of these "errors" hold a specific purpose in history classes. Similar, yet different. The Holocaust was so intesely horrific, so widespread, and such a strong point in history. Learning about it allows us to identify signs of such events and prevent them. We have developed entire vocabularies in order to recognize these. Genocide and pogram are both terms that are an example of this. They were formed in order to try to eliminate any possibility of history repeating itself. Indeed, the mere creation of words doesn't seem a legitimate measure to take, yet the impact such an action can create has the power to save lives. Each piece of the Holocaust and WWII (World War Two) fit together, to form an overall understanding of the time period. When you dissect these, you end up with a great deal more to understand than you originally bargained for. Hitler's steps to power is one of these wonders. His early life shows how tragedy can affect one's future. Being kicked out of art school sent Hitler on a spiral (whether it was downward or upward depends on one's perspective) that escalated massively. His faith in the German Military was destroyed, his "solution" landed him in jail. His theories an... ... middle of paper ... ...us to see the murderous, pscycopathic event through a youth's eyes. Her belongings were stolen, people she knew and loved were killed. Her father, Otto, had connections with the military, and over time we learn that not all Jews suffered equally, and not all Germans were equally safe. The pogrom that was the Holocaust was not fair- it picked favorites. We cannot forget the Holocaust, we must remember everything about it. Not so we shall mourn or obsess, but so that we are aware. The story of the Holocaust and WWII is one shared my millions of people, different races, countries. The many sides of the story all teach us. We learn from our mistakes as well as others. New words and stages are developed, with every wound a stronger bandage is formed. We learn about the Holocaust to protect innocent people and better our own selves, so that the future may be brighter.
All these things where really bad for people and everyone one in the Holocaust suffered. In the Holocaust millions of people where murdered and burned or even gased. In Wolrd War 2 teens where forced to fight in war because of the draft thousands didn't make it home. People in World War 2 would ride onto shore in boats and many didn't even make it onto the beach cause they where killed. Anne Frank was missing out of her childhood because of the Holocaust. We learn about these things so we don't do this again and we learn from are mistakes.
Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.
We learn about the Holocaust to learn about our villians and heroes, saviors and enemies of the war. We learn about the Holocaust so we know the consequences of racism and intolerance. We learn about the Holocaustso we can prevent history from repeating itself. Another reason we learn about the Holocaust is to understand that when political figures talk about purity of race, purity of religion, and discrimination it will not end well. It will end in chaos. We need to understand that moral character should define someone not their religion or the color of their skin. Humans are created equal. No one race is better than another. We need to work together to create peace. We learn about the Holocaust so we know that our differences aren't in our religion, race, or nationality it's in our morals and the beliefs in our hearts and souls.
All these subjects come together to show why we learn about the Holocaust. We simply learn about it because we don't want it all to happen again. The horrible things that have happened will happen again if peace and tolerance are not taught. It's good to learn that humans are capable for such evil things so it wont happen again. If we didn't study it, people wouldn't know or remember the past and might repeat it. We learn from mistakes, which is why we learn about the Holocaust. We want to minimize the mistakes that happened once and for all.
...was a terrible war that nobody wants to ever happen again. It was really important to know the signs of it starting again like a country changing its' law like eliminating goverment postions so somebody has all the power. It is an amazing thing that we learn about the tragic events that took place in Europe. We also learn about the Holocaust because we don't want another world war. It would be tragic if we hand another world war that tore the world up. We also don't need another person doing the same exact thing Hilter did like creating laws discriminating many just because of their race or religon. So the main reason we learn about the Holocaust and all the other tragic event is to know how all the people around the world were effected in some way and if it did happen again it would also effect everybody right now. We also want to make sure it never happens again.
The Holocaust was a time period in history that is very important to learn about. We learn about it for many reasons, but I think the most important reason is to learn not to discriminate against other people. Not only is it very important to learn about the Holocaust, but it's also important to learn about Hitler's rise to power and how he came to make his decision of the discrimination affiliated with the Holocaust. The events and outcome of World War II and Anne Frank are very important topics, too. These topics are all factors that are associated with the overall events of the Holocaust and all back up the reason as to why we study the Holocaust.
Learning about the Holocaust helps us see how we changed over the years because of those events and helps us understand how fortunate we are to be living in this time. As we studied the Holocaust, we learned how people were impacted by the Nazis and Germany's new laws. This event in history helped us to realize that forming wrong ideas about a group can lead to major problems in the end. It also teaches us that power can be abused and people will suffer if the problem isn't recognized durring its early stages. Studying about the Holocaust helps us learn that everyone is different and we must learn to accept each other's differences so that hate towards certian people will not cause the same event to happen again. Learning about the events in history helps us to take measures to prevent the worst things from happening again.
As you can see, the Holocaust left a scare on the world today. In the end, at least Hitler did not take over the entire world. This is what he was aiming for and would have done if the Ally powers did not put a stop to him. So next time a bad thing happens to you, remember that nothing as painful as the Holocaust will ever happen to you.
Horrible things happened in Europe during the time period of WWII, and millions of people died. The Holocaust stands as one of the biggest genocides that has ever happened in human history, so we study it to remember it. Remembering the awful things that happened during the Holocaust, and all of the poor Jews and other undesireables who lost their lives will hopefully insure that something this disgusting, at this magnitude, will never happen again.
The Holocaust is the history of continuing mourning and dismay. It seemed to be no ignition of concern or sympathy to lighten up this dreadful history. The Holocaust was the extermination of six million Jews and millions of other people that fell into the “undesirable” category, including blacks, gypsies, and homosexuals, by the Nazi Party during World War II. By 1945, two out of every three Jews were killed: 1.5 million children were murdered. Holocaust survivor, Abel Herzberg said,” There were not six million Jews murdered; there was one murder, six million times.”
The Holocaust, one of the most devastating moments in history. Hitler’s mass genocide of Jews and other ethnicities had left a scar in the world that would never truly heal. During a time of death and destruction, one camp held the title for most fatalities. The Auschwitz concentration camp, one of the most infamous places during the Holocaust with its bloody history forever etched into the mind of its survivors and future generations to come.
The Holocaust is a subject familiar to most people around the world. They either learned about it in school or on TV. The word “Holocaust” comes from the Greek words “holos” and “kaustos. “Holos” which means whole and the word “kaustos” meaning burned. Originally it is historically used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an altar. Throughout history the word has taken a whole different meaning. The modern definition of the word means the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews and other groups by the German Nazi “regime” during World War ll (History, 2016). The Holocaust was one of the darkest times for both Germany and the Jews who were targeted because Hitler believed that they didn’t meet his standards that would compromise
Now, we can better understand why we must always learn from our mistakes and about the Holocaust. There are many reasons why, such as the fact that mass genocide is never worth it. Look what happened to Hitler. However, all that aside, we must remember and learn from the terrible events from our past so that we do not repeat them in the future. If we do this, the world will become a better place.
Learning about history helps us learn about the humanities own reflection and what’s good or bad about it. This is just like a diary , people and by people I mean historians , just wrote what they saw and what seemed to cause a major change in society and we just happen to be reading it a couple of years later. I believe that historians actually wrote historical truth because it makes sense and it has been scientifically proven
When most people think about history they remember a boring class they took in school a long time ago, they recall memorizing important dates, taking map tests, and falling asleep while listening to a lecture. The truth is that history really is an important subject to be teaching students. History is more than just some lecture you receive in class, history lets us look back, see the good things and the bad things, it allows us to learn from our mistakes and prevent such mistakes from happening in the future. Things that happened in the past are still changing things that are happening today. History is needed for everyone, from government leaders down to individuals; everyone has learned one thing or another from history at some point in their life.
