  Learning about the Holocaust  The question going around is if sixth graders should lean about the holocaust. Many people are saying yes and or no. What do you think, should we learn about this event in history or not? Maud Dahme a Holocaust survivor said that we should learn about it. For one, I say yes we should learn about the Holocaust because we are mature enough, all of the sixth graders want to learn about it, and so this horrible event does not happen again. Even though this has a unhappy and horrible time in history it is good to learn about it.

My first reason is that we are mature enough to learn about it.First of all when all of us were in forth grade we read the book "Number the Stars" which was related to the Holocaust, again, that was in grade school! Secondly this was an event in history, if we learn about all of the wars, why no the Holocaust, and we started to learn about wars in FORTH GRADE. Lastly we are old enough to know that this was a horrible event in history and not to "follow in the Nazis footsteps", we can decide right form wrong by ourselves. Even Holocaust survivors want us to learn about this tragic event. Now on to my second topic.

Secondly this is probably the only time in school when students actually want to learn about something. Mostly all of the students want to learn about this and if you put this in our curriculum we will work hard to learn as much as we can about it. It will be good for students grade average will raise in whichever subject we learn this in because it is such an interesting subject. Lastly the kids and their parents would be happy, the parents because their kids grades has risen and he kids because most of the people in my grade wants to learn about the Holocaust. Also kids in lower grades heard the speech that the Holocaust survivor gave and they probably want to learn about as well as us. One fact about the Holocaust is that Holocaust means death by fire. Now to my last reason.

The last reason to learn about this so it does not happen again. People know that the Holocaust was a bad time in history but if we forget about it there is a chance that it will happen again. Six million Jews died in this event but 11 million in all, we do not want this to happen again. Not just the sixth graders in our school but sixth graders around the world,not just sixth graders but EVERYBODY! Also knowing this horrible event when we grow up we won't ever think of doing something as bad as this, or bad at all! Those are my reasons.

Even though some people might still chose to bad things like the Holocaust, but we can stop this by learning how horrible events that went on in the Holocaust. Is it even worth doing something this? Every Nazi is either dead or old in hiding, worrying each day if people would find out that they were evil and take them away. That is why I think that everybody around the world should learn about the Holocaust. As a survivor of the Holocaust once said " We must not let this happen again!"
