Why must the Holocaust be taught and remembered?

I find it pretty dumb.

Its amazing how we are taught this in school, we should just forget about this stuff because I can't figure out a valid reason about why we should remeber the deaths of millions of people and World War 2. Sure, Hitler killed the Jews only because they were Jews, but isn't that the reason why we should forget about this stuff and leave it as is.

I go to a public school and learn this stuff; it sucks. Does anybody agree with me or do you believe that this stuff should be remembered always?:x

So we should just ignore history?

You may find that stuff boring but I bet the people that fought and died in it don't. it's important to learn about so as we don't go making the same mistakes that happened in the past and we respect the peole that died defending their countries.

This topic offends me in so many ways...MattUD1

I doubt you'd be offended if history was never taught.

I'm not surprised. Saying learning about the Holocaust is dumb isn't the brightest thing to say.

To keep that part of history polarized and to show the "triumphant/good" side of the American government/military.

Never will they tell the side of history that incriminates USA

You mean the internment camps used to imprison Japanese-Americans during WWII? I learned that bit in History class.

whatever falls along that line. be it the creation of the Federal Reserve - funding both sides of WWII - Vietnam - the recent false flag operation(ahem 9-11) - plus a whole lot more. take your pick....

Well , I had history classes where they did. I must have imagined it.

The funny thing is the United States has 119 concentration camps, last I checked at least. Each of which can hold 2,000,000 people but there's no one in them and they're all in the middle of no where... *twilight zone music*

No but seriously look it up it's ridiculous. They're created by FEMA and FEMA has spent over $300,000,000 on these camps.

But on topic again, I'd say it's important because it was such a monumental event in history. Sure it doesn't affect you today in your every day life, but a little school lesson is the least you could give to remember the millions that died. It's not asking much.

Not sure why the schools only teach the Holocaust and ignore other mass killings that have happened around the world; I am going to have to point out Japan during WW2. limpbizkit818

How about Stalin? Mao?

And let's not forget the other horrible things like the Waco Massacre and the Queens riots of the early 90s.

Trust me, they teach us plenty of negative things our country's government, military, police force, and citizens have done over the years.

Indeed. It was a modern witch hunt with communism. It's a shame he came from my state.

"Stalin killed a lot of Russians"

That was basically all we heard of the killings he did. We spent forever on the holocaust.

You know... McCarthy was right. Evidence surfaced that there were thousands of members of the federal government who were directly involved with/spying for the Soviets, including upper-level officials and presidential aides.

So by your logic only remember the good history ...

this is foolishness to the highest degree

It happened, and it was an extremely significant event in our history. If we forget everything bad that's happened in our past we'd be creating a fake picture of the world for our children. Bulldog19892

welcome to religion :P

so that we can learn from our past and not allow such atrocities to occur again.C_BozkurT_C

Yah, even though genocide is occuring right now. I remember, last year they did a lecture on how we should never forget, but listed all these places with genocide, where no one is doing anything. If anything, they should teach more about other genocides, rather than spend all this time on just the one, to show people that it's still going on.

I completely disagree with you. We need to remember and be taught the good and the bad from history, especially history not that long ago. Kids (schoolage) need to understand there are prejudices and horrors in the world so one day when they become our leaders they will have some understanding of it. My son, 13 just finished 8th grade, hasn't learned enough on the Holocaust as far as I'm concerned so I have taught him more. He and all need to be prepared for the real world and like I said stand up against these acts.
