=**The Holocaust: Should we Learn About It?**=

==Mixed feelings float in the air about if kids should learn about the Holocaust. For example, adults say that kids should learn about the Holocaust because it was a very important time in history. Like, most adults would say that kids are mature enough to learn about something as terrible as the Holocaust. On the other hand, adults say us 6th graders are not mature enough for learning about the Holocaust. In my opinion I have very mixed feelings, but if I had to choose I would choose that kids, our age should learn about the Holocaust. My reasons will make you go on my side if you haven't thought about it yet or you think that kids shouldn't learn about it.==

==One reason kids should learn about this topic is that history should not be repeated so that's why we need to learn about the Holocaust. To back me up on this is something like the Holocaust should never, and I mean never be repeated because this was too serious to be mocked or repeated. A quote from George Santayana saying " Those who cannot learn from the past are forced to repeat it." This quote means many Jews that were in the Holocaust will always be forced to repeat the past because they will never forget. Also, many kids that get scared will be suspicious around Russians and then the Russians will get offensive and might have a thought in their head about making a new Holocaust which no one would ever want. If you think about it an event like the Holocaust should never be repeated. Ever. ==

==The Holocaust is too important of an event of history to not learn about. Maud Dahme, a Jew who had as a child during the Holocaust, said, "It was a horrible time..." By this she meant it was just terrible and not believable. It backs my idea of the Holocaust being an important time in history is this place, this event was horrible and we need to learn about how miserable these people were. Even one of my homeroom teachers said " My feelings on the Holocaust is that this is a very historical event because of the millions and millions of Jews that had died." I agree with her and that the Holocaust is very important. Did you know that 6 million Jews existed before the Holocaust and only 6,000 were left to live and suffer through the memories. Don't you think that the Holocaust is so important that you, yourself, need to know about the reader? Just think about it.==

==You know how kids bully other for their race, color, or beliefs? Well the power of learning about the Holocaust will teach those bullies how the Holocaust can effect others. For example, wouldn't you feel bad about people who are depressed about this? Maybe the bullies would feel bad too because their bullying could lead the victims into ideas like the Holocaust. I would and you should too. Also, this is a win win for everyone because the bullies will actually learn something. For once. Even people who are not bullies won't talk bad about Jews because they have learned about the Holocaust. You see how important the Holocaust is? Well, you should.==

==Even though many parents say that children should not learn about the Holocaust, I really do think that children our age should learn about. How would you feel if you were the relatives of the ones that died? Wouldn't you be sad if people didn't learn about something tragic like the Holocaust? I would definitely because in my opinion that is just a sign of disrespect if the people in the world don't know or haven't learn about this. Also, the world would be a lot more cautious if they knew how serious the Holocaust was. I'm just saying is I really do believe that children should learn about the Holocaust.==
