Why is it important to learn about the Holocaust?

Answer 1

AnswerIt is important to study the Holocaust so that we can prevent the past from repeating itself tomorrow. We need to study the types of people who led Germany to such hatred and anhillation so that we can make sure these people will not rise to power once again and possibly have a race or religious group exterminated.

Also, it's important to study the Holocaust just so you can know about the history of your country (if you live in Germany, Poland, the Soviet Union(now USSR), etc) or learn about OTHER countries (if you live in the US, Canada, UK, etc) and be aware of the problems other countries face. Also, American forces liberated many Nazi camps, so the US actually helped stop Hilter's anti-semitism Propaganda.

___

The main reason is that the Holocaust is regarded as one of the key events of the 20th century.

Answer 2

It was an incredibly disturbing act of racism that should never happen again. It already has but no one should have such strong feelings of hatred for a WHOLE race or religion. In my opinion, racism is pathetic and I honestly don't understand how people can have such feelings. So, yes, the Holocaust is important and it affected more than just Jews. Hitler was a cruel dictator who should have been killed before he could have ruthlessly killed millions of people

Because approximately 6,000,000 Jewish men, women, and children were killed during the Holocaust-- about 2/3 of the Jews living in Europe at the start of World War II.

How is it not important. Millions of people died by the hands of the Nazis, so many people died that some weren't even counted. Gypsies, Jewish and Polish people`,also homosexuals died. This event is important because it shows us what humanity is capable of. Also, it tells us not just to stand around, but to take action when something bad is happening. Another reason it is important because it teaches us not to repeat the bad parts of history. That is why the Holocaust is important.

Because approximately 6,000,000 Jewish men, women, and children were killed during the Holocaust-- about 2/3 of the Jews living in Europe at the start of World War II.

ACTUALLY AND I DONT MEAN TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING BUT MUCH MORE THAN 6,000,000 DIED

Actually, around about 6,000,000 Jews died during the Holocaust, so yes much more than 6,000,000 people died but originally it was said that 6,000,000 JEWS died... not everybody in total (eg. disabled, mentally ill, gypsies, etc.) More Russians died than Jews.

Answer 3

The Holocaust has come to be regarded as one of key events of the 20th century and one that every educated person is expected to know about, at least in outline.

You need to learn all about it so that nothing like it ever happens again!

Answer 4

This kind of thing is important to teach in schools, so they know how Hitler's misguided concept that Jews are evil spawn affected more than just the Jews themselves. This also goes for racism in general.

Answer 5

It is very imporant. Seriously. You must remember the 11 million people that were killed.

Answer 6

So humanity will never repeat the horrfic events ever again. The Holocaust shows us what humanity is capable. It tells us we should treat eachother equally.
