Should Future Generations Know About The Holocaust

Why should future generations know about the holocaust? The Holocaust was a very powerful event that all started with Hitler and the Nazis. German Jews were killed just because Hitler thought they didn’t match the characteristics of a natural born German Jew. This was such a tragic event that it should be widely known by newer generations. People and children of younger generations should all be aware that this happened in order to stop future events such as the Holocaust to happen again. This should be something all children and teens should know about because it teaches them the effect of bystanding and kids should also know that we were all born innocent human beings and that things such as this are capable of happening. Genocide was also

Just because they didn't have the characteristics of a natural born German. Our generation and below should be aware of this event so they can raise awareness about this and try to prevent these things from happening again. By raising awareness to children you can teach them at an earlier stage that things like this can and will happen. Some children don’t even know about this tragic event because maybe now they don’t really mention it at school or the parents don’t really care about this topic enough to talk about it. That’s why we should change that and make it a part of their school's curriculum. So kids become aware and ask questions like “Why did this have to happen?” or “Are we really capable of starting such a thing?”. They need to realize that we as a human species are capable of doing such evil things. Of course at such a young age they're still learning, but maybe they can learn something from this and view the world

If people learned to speak up while this was happening it probably would have ended earlier but the world decided to stay silent. Not only for fear of them but for fear of themselves. They were scared that maybe if they said something they would get questioned or worse, they would be alone. By saying something in what you believe in, you're crushing the bystander effect. You're helping maybe not the world but you’re community and that's all that matters. It’s really sad that the Jews couldn't say anything because they really didn't know what was going on at that time. That first time they got transferred to a camp they didn't know what was coming up. No one lived long enough to go back and tell them that they were in danger of dying of starvation or getting gassed in gas chambers. When they did finally figure what was going on, it was too late to do anything. For them, it was either work or die. The U.S. could have intervened with that but they decided not to because they were more worried about themselves. I bet people did want to say something and they didn't because they were too embarrassed to. So don’t be afraid to speak up, just do the right thing. Don’t question yourself. Imagine how many lives we could have saved if we just spoke up. This also applies to now. If you see someone on the street in trouble or in need of help, don’t just walk away. Try to help them as much
