So It Won't Happen Again

The Holocaust was a terrible time when the Nazis took Jews to concentration camps, and forced them to work. If they didn't work, they where killed. Can you imagine being killed if you didn't work? Six million Jews where killed during The Holocaust, but some Jews actually hid from the Nazis with other Jewish families, like someone who spoke to us the other day who said, "we couldn't even visit our christian friends." There has been some debate whether sixth graders should be learning about The Holocaust. Some parents think that sixth graders are not mature enough to learn about it, but I disagree. If kids our age where being tortured, then we should be able to learn about it.  Because we can be mature enough, because we can avoid prejudice, which is an opinion formed before someone gets to know another person,  and because we can learn to never repeat this, sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust. u72

The first reason why I think that sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is because I think that we are mature enough. The Holocaust was part of history, and we can handle learning about tragic things that have happened in the past and realize what occurred. Also, life isn't always going to be fair. The Nazis took over the Jews and they treated them terribly, which wasn't fair in the Jews eyes, but it was in the Nazi's. We have already realized that life isn't all rainbows and puppies, and that bad and unfair things really did happen to the Jews. We are mature enough that we can tell right from wrong. All sixth graders realize that this event was WRONG, and that it should never be repeated.

Another reason why I think that sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is to avoid prejudice. This can help kids realize that Adolf Hitler was the worst bully in the whole world, and what he did should never be  repeated. Maybe if kids knew this, and what he did, they would stop bullying. This event could also help racism. The entire Holocaust was Nazis being racist and blaming everything wrong about their country on the Jews just because they didn't like them. This may teach people not to judge other people by there skin color, how they talk, or how they look. If we all didn't judge people on these things, this could be a better world.

Perhaps the most important reason why sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust is so that something like this doesn't happen again. This even was a very shameful event. It was shameful because people were tortured and starved, and killed. We can learn from our mistakes, and hopefully this won't repeat. If someone is thinking about doing something like this again, you should STOP them! <span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"> If you don't, they could start this whole tragic event over again.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">The Holocaust was a terrible event in history. People were tortured and it was very violent, but I think that sixth graders should learn about it. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"> For the sake of this not happening again, I think sixth graders should learn about the Holocaust. <span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">After all, us learning about it could be the difference between it happening again or not. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">As Jane Yolen, the author of a book called //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">The Devils // //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Arithmetic, //<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"> a book about a young girl who learns about the Holocaust by traveling to the time when the Holocaust happened, once said, "Do you know that alphabet of evil?"
