Should Holocaust Be Taught To 8th Grade Students

The Holocaust started in January 30, 1933 and ended in May 8, 1945. The Holocaust lasted 12 years! Imagine the lives affected. The Holocaust resulted in the deaths of more than 15 million people throughout Europe. But, the question is should the Holocaust be taught to 8th Grade Students The Holocaust should be taught to 8th Grade Students because it would teach too much power. In the book, “I Have Lived A Thousand Years,” the Nazi’s gain ro much power. But all power gained vaninshises from the defeat. I believe it should be taught to 8th Grade Students because a few 8th graders experience one person gaining too much power, and that is called Bullying. This also has to do with the bully giving the victim little or no power, just as the Nazi’s did to the Jew’s and all other’s effected.

“First, they came after the Socialists, and I did not speak out --- because I was not a Socialists. Then they came for the Unionists, and I did not speak out --- because I was not a Unionists. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --- because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me --- and no one was left to speak out for me”-Lessons Learned from the Holocaust Article.- This quote means that just because it’s not ‘your problem’ doesn’t mean you can’t stand up to that person(s). This has to do with bullying also, just because ‘you are not affected’ doesn't mean you can’t speak up and stand up for that
