Some people think we shouldn't learn about the Holocaust. Others think it's a good idea to learn about it for many reasons. The Holocaust was a horrible event that happened. Some people think that only Jews were killed, hurt, starved, etc. but, it's not only Jews it was also the disabled, Gypsies, race, beliefs, etc. Life was very hard for these people, whoever Hitler or the Nazi party didn't like or were any of those things from racism were sent to the concentration camps. Most were killed who went to the camps some lived. Well I believe that we should learn about the Holocaust.

We will be grateful for everything we have. The Holocaust was not fair at all. People were slaves and were beaten, killed, starved, worked, etc. We complain about everything like I'm to tired," or "I'm starving. Well, these people were all these things but, if they didn't do any of these things they would get killed. Even if they did do these things sometimes they would still get killed. Those camps should really be called work to the death because that's literally what happens. For example in the Holocaust if you were or weren't sick you could still be sent to the ovens. “We were trained just like seals. Not a whisper, not a sneeze, not even a eyelash would even move. Everybody was totally quiet. -Alexander Van Kollen (when Hiding from the Nazis). Those people who have been through all this are a lot more grateful about everything then we are.

This is reality. Did you think the Holocaust could happen again? Well it has and people are not learning from the mistakes that happened. If we don't learn about it we might go through the same exact thing everywhere and will never learn from anything people do. For example in Egypt there going through a big war that is effecting the people there. It's happening in all different parts of the world right now and no one hardly knows it. Some day it might start here. What do we do? Do we run away from war? Just stay and deal with it?

Courage and history is left from all this. It is the courage it takes for the survivors to say "I've been in the Holocaust." The history of everything that has happend and the courage of everyone who survived the Holocaust. They have been through a lot more then we can read, see, or here. This will all teach us we should never back down or just complain about something so little. The people who have been through the Holocaust have been through a lot more pain and suffering without even complaining about it. The next time you are about to complain think.

Gratefulness, reality, courage and history are some of the many things you can learn from the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very dark and scary time for everyone. This has teached me to not complain about the little things in life even if I don't want to do them. Life has some hard times it's true but it would be a lot harder if this was going on still right now. How do you think has the harder life us or the people that were in the Holocaust? Has the Holocaust changed your life even from just reading about it?
