** Have you ever thought about the holocaust and wondered exactly what happened? Well i’m in sixth grade and i’m learning about! It seems a little mature but i think my grade can handle it, especially if kids our age were the ones being killed! Nothing about the Holocaust is remotely good or entertaining. Personally I think that it is fine for sixth graders to learn about the Holocaust. Do you? **
 * Not Mature Enough? **

** One reason I think we should learn about the holocaust is because we need to avoid prejudiceness. This could lead to bullying. That's pretty much what the Holocaust was. Just bullying. It was a horrific occurrence. **


 * The holocaust was terrible. I think another reason we are learning about it is because we don’t want it to happen again. It is shameful to have in German heritage, but in    absolutely     no way is it our fault that this happened. We were not alive, therefor could not have saved nor stopped this horrific occurrence. I think we need to learn more about it only because we don’t want any of it to continue. Genocide is still going on today in Darfur, Sudan. Genocide is the killing of a large group of people.   **

** In sixth grade it may be hard to understand the whole thing but that’s why we learn little sections at a time. We read a book called Devil’s Arithmetic that explained the Holocaust very well. It was a very sad time. Some people hid from the nazis and nearly starved. Life is not fair. These people did nothing wrong and they had to starve and hide. Just because of their religion people were taken to camps and tortured. **

** Now that we all know how horrible and sad the holocaust was, do you think sixth graders are mature enough to learn about this topic? Personally I think that sixth graders should DEFINITELY learn about this topic because if we learn about it young it could help stop or lower the rate of bullying. I think the holocaust is the worst event in the World’s history. Think about, children starving and hungry, adults doing everything they can for them! Most perished doing so. **
