This means that if you don't remember something that happened in the past it might happen in the future.==

==Even though people all around the word were killed or forced to work, I think that learning about the Holocaust is very important. If sixth graders learn about the Holocaust now, they would know what happened and not let it happen again. Would you rather have a nightmare, or would you want to know what happened in the world and prevent it from happening again? Some sixth grade parents may think that their kids shouldn't learn abou the Holocaust, but I think that it very important to know about our history.==
