Kids today


Kids Today and the Holocaust


Today kids are barely learning about the holocaust.  The teaching level today about the Holocaust is horrible.  Lot's of kids today do not even know what the Holocaust is.  They are completely oblivious to the terrible thing that happened to millions of people.  Because they don't know that it happened they might let it happen again.  My point is they need to learn to understand.  Unfortunately, no one will ever understand their pain.  Or what happened in the camps to the people that did not survive.

Education

Kids are being taught very little these years about the Holocaust with special exceptions.  They will not know anything in the years to come and then it will happen again.  It the Holocaust is slipping away  from our youth.  As the ones that survived the Holocaust pass away we have no recounts of the   the Holocaust.  That means that we have to inform our own children about things that we did not live through and because the education is not as good as it could be the next generations will not know what happened.  Therefore, the knowledge will be lost just as i had recently stated.

Children in the Holocaust



Anne Frank


Anne Frank was one of over six million Jewish people who died in the holocaust. She was born Annelies Marie Frank June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany, to Otto and Edith Frank.  She is probably the most famous child ever for the holocaust.  The reason is that once the holocaust was over her father published her diary.  This diary told the people who were not in concentration camps what it was like for a child to go through all that pain.  Anne did not survive to see the day her diary be published.  She did not not know who is or was reading her diary.  But we all know her. 


Children


Children were not treated better just because they are children they were still treated horrible.  Nothing was fair back then.  The expression life isn't fair is very true.  But this is beyond that line it crossed that line when Hitler started.  What happened then was over the limit.  Unfortunately, Hitler believed what he was correct.  It did not matter if they were children or grownups.  No matter how old they were.  Children of various ages were being put to labor by force.  They had no choice they had to take a brake or have a snack they were tortured.
