=Should sixth graders study the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a very important time in world history that should never be forgotten. A lot of people think that sixth graders should not study the Holocaust because were no mature enough ,but we are. For me, I'm ready to learn about the Holocaust. In 1939 World War II started and some people think the Holocaust started because of it. But it didn't, the Holocaust started in 1933 and World War II started in 1939 because of the Holocaust. This all began in Europe and Poland was first invaded by the Nazi. We should study it so that we can understand it more, to see that in the worst situation if you stay strong you can survive, and so we will never forget. What happen should never happen again. I believe that sixth grader should study the Holocaust.= = = =One reason sixth graders should study the Holocaust is we can understand it more. In Devils Arithmetic Hannah does understand it but not as much as she needs to so she somehow goes back in time and lives the holocaust and reading it helped me understand the holocaust. Also the Holocaust such an important part of history that sixth graders should know about and learn from. Some kids think there life's so hard so if they learn it more they can see that our life's are not that hard and they should be grateful. It was just so important time in history that we all can learn from.= = = =Also just like my dad told me, "It shows us in the worst situation you can survive." In the book "Devils Arithmetic" Gitl said to Hannah "Promise me you will not cry no more before these monsters." We need to also know that there were people who survived, Maud Dahme said that “Just to be alive is the greatest gift that God had given me. People were lucky to survive the holocaust, and were thankful every single day to suvive. That is what I learned from this experience.” The author Jane Yolen said that "there were people from the village who survived from the war." All of them never showed fear what so ever and stayed strong and they survived.= = = =We need to know so it never happens again. Since kids are the future we can make sure it never happens again in our world history. The Holocaust a sad part of history and no one deserves to be treated like that. So that no one will be killed and be treated horribly for being different in skin or religion again. They were treated so horrible and I hope it never happens again. If this ever happened again then we need to stop it until it ends forever. = = = =Studying the Holocaust is important to study. Sure it might scare some kids and sure it was so horrible, but we need to know what happened. Leon Bass is a U.S. solider that went into a Concentration camp and from his experience from being there he said “I saw human beings, human beings that had been beaten, starved, they’d been tortured, they’d been denied everything-anything that would make anyone’s life livable.” Even to this day people relive and remember the horrors of the Holocaust. Sixth graders should study the holocaust.=
