**Going Through the Holocaust**

** The Holocaust was a hateful and devastating event that took place in the 1940's. Over 6 million Jews died because of this event. It is something that everyone in the world should remember as it is one of history’s cruelest events. Sixth graders can also learn about the Holocaust, so they could not make the same mistake again in the future, when they are all grown up. I think sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust because they are mature enough, they are respectful to their peers, and they would know the disastrous events that took place in the Holocaust so they won't do it in the future. ** **“The Holocaust should be remembered ****,” a sixth grade mother said. What this meant was that the Holocaust should not happen because of the horrific tragedies the Jews had to go through. **

** One reason sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is so that they would gain maturity. Knowing a part of history would help them realize the terrifying events that occurred so they won’t do it later. Life would be horrifying and everything would be doomed. Then there might be another ferocious World War! By being mature, sixth graders won't make this mistake in the future. Also the students could learn right from wrong, or in other words, what is the right thing to do and the things that you shouldn't do. My grandpa thought that I was not mature enough to know about the World War II. But when I was in sixth grade he told me and it made me more mature by not being so disrespectful to my brother and family. Kids our age and younger have been killed as well in the Holocaust, so why can't sixth graders learn about the Holocaust? **

** Another reason sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust, is to avoid prejudice. If sixth graders learn about the Holocaust then there may be more students who would be respectful to others. In Rachel’s Challenge, it told about the importance of a girl named Rachel who was very nice to her classmates and people in school, but then got shot by two killers with guns. Kids also won’t judge people too much and might become more generous to others, as well as to their teachers. Terrorists don't even care about the Holocaust and how it killed many lives. All they are doing now is are the slaughtering things the Nazi's did to the Jews. **

** The last reason sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is that so it won't happen again. Sixth graders would know all the things if they get to find the things about this event. Then they won’t let this happen in the future. They would feel really shameful too if they started another Holocaust because the Nazi’s felt the same way. Also the students might make posters or banners to represent how horrible the Holocaust was, and won’t want have it happen again. There are many hateful events that people don't want, just happen unfortunately. **


 * Even though some parents or teachers might think that the Holocaust is really violent to learn about, I think that sixth graders should still learn about it. ****The alphabet of death. What is the alphabet of evil? ****Finding about the Holocaust will help everyone realize that it should not happen again. Everyone should know about the Holocaust. ****“It begins with Adolf Hitler, is what Jane Yolen, the author of the Devil’s Arithmetic once said.” What this meant was that troubles can be caused by just one person which can affect an enormous amount of people. **
