431 Words2 Pages

“If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!”
― Adolf Hitler

The leader and founder of the Nazi party, Adolf Hitler wrote a book called Mein Kampf. This book describes his plan to annihilate the Jewish population. In many countries in Europe Hitler's book is banned. The books ban was just lifted in Germany and will now be sold to the public. The book should be permanently banned for the respect of the victims of the Holocaust.

Although the book may interest many people the book should be banned out of respect for the victims who had to suffer through all the pain and suffering involved with the Holocaust. The victims had to suffer through the starvation and demoralizing and the brutality of the Nazi forces. The Nazis killed over 6 million Jews between 1941 and 1945.

Hitler’s descriptions and ideas could potentially cause some other(s) hatred/discriminating groups to basically recreate the holocaust but instead of the Jews, with the people of their choice. The Holocaust was a very dark time and it shouldn’t have ever happened but it did and we have to do whatever we can to prevent it from happening again. If the Holocaust were to reoccur it could be much worse than it was because nowadays we have more advanced technology and weaponry.

Even though MeinKampf would tell many people a lot about the history of the Holocaust and it tells the story from the perspective of the leader, it should still be banned. The Holocaust happened once and it doesn’t need to cause more chaos than it already has in the past. Mein Kampf is a great lesson on how to kill Jews but it’s not something that should be released to the public and be read. All copies of Mein Kampf should be taken from the public and burned except one to put in a museum on a display

(Source 4) Hitler wanted to exterminate all of the ‘inferior races’ so that Germany could take over Europe and house the ‘perfect race’. The Jews were looked down on as they were inferior to the Germans that they lived amongst and therefore were ridiculed and made vulnerable to persecution. Hitler was afraid that the Jews would summon the other ‘inferior’ races to rise up against the Nazi regime as they were believed to hold much of the world’s finances and mass media. (Source 4) They believed that killing the Jews

It has been said that “Silence gives posthumous victory to Hitler.” Posthumous means “after death.” People may be indifferent to this subject now that they see it is long over, but if that is how people think, then Hitler may have won afterall. If people are silent then others will forget. If people forget, then they will no longer know the terrors the Holocaust has caused.

The Holocaust was one of the most devastating times for all of the world. It strained the world’s economy and resources; death tolls were tremendously high and injuries were severe. This was one of the worst events in our world’s history. For the 12 years that Germany was ruled by the Nazi Party, a central belief was that there existed in society, certain people who were dangerous and needed to be eliminated for German society to flourish and survive (Impact of the Holocaust).

The Holocaust is a great lesson for the entire world to learn from, and particularly a lesson for the next generation to learn from the mistakes of the past and make sure that they are never repeated again (Why teach The Holocaust?). The Holocaust should be taught to students in schools because it presents decisions that, in the future, may need to be made or even ones that should not have been made, it allows students to see how history could repeat itself, and it instills a sense of appreciation for the freedoms and inclusiveness that we have in our time.

And with the current debate on why the school board is banning the book and what’s right for the students, it is honestly more problematic to ban the book than to use the novel as a teaching tool. If they want to teach students about the Holocaust, why teach it any way other than truthfully? Students are already very unaware about multiple tragedies that have occured in their own country. The Every Child Matters movement had a huge spike in popularity last year after multiple bodies of Indigenous children were found and most people were just finding out about residential schools and how poorly it impacted Indigenous people and their future generations to come. So, is the Holocaust the next mark in history that is soon to be forgotten just because America wants to look good and supposedly wants to “protect their children”?

The Last of The Mohicans is an intriguing novel that took me by surprise. Initially, when I set upon reading the story written by James Fenimore Cooper, I expected a very different experience from what I was left with afterward. I expected to be reading the love story that I had watched in the 1992 film based on the book. However, I was presented with a story much more intriguing and brutal than what I expected, and much different from the movie. The story in the book provided me with a gritty and bloody war story that changed my thoughts and ideas of the French and Indian War and early colonial warfare as a whole.

In the early 1940s, Adolf Hitler told Germany the single story of his opinions of the Jewish race. His single story led Germany to blame Jews, persecute Jews, and kill Jews. You would think the nation would stand against wrongdoings, but most were brainwashed by Hitler’s perspective, and the rest, cowards. Germany was manipulated to think a certain way, without caring to hear what the Jews had to say, and ultimately reacted in a harmful way to the Jews. You may ask, why is this important?

The fact that “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler is once again a published book in Germany is sort of frightening. Hitler was influential when he was in power and it is safe to say this book could sway German opinions. However, governments should not be able to to ban any work of art because censorship can end up being more harmful than helpful. If a book highlights a horrible event in the past, it is less likely to happen again. People who look back at a dreadful event will understand that it must never be repeated.

When you tell people they can’t do something it makes them want to do it more, so telling people that they can’t read a certain book makes them want to read it more and most importantly the banned books that are classic have an important message. In conclusion, books should not be banned, due to the fact that they teach us many things. Although some books have different and unpopular opinions, it doesn’t mean that they have less of a right to be read. All books should have an equal opportunity to be cherished and read.
