Let's not forget McCarthyism.

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

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.

And got innocent people killed in the process.

What do you mean?

I remember in History calss that there was a couple suspected of treason and sentenced to death for allegedly being associated with the communists.

We remember it so it doesn't happen again. We learn of the signs of an eventual holocaust and can be able to support actions to prevent them.

I don't remember their names but the wife was innocent, although the husband and a friend were communist conspirators.

It was a major historical event. That's reason enough. People want to be remembered to ensure it never happens again, just like both World Wars, and hundreds of other events.

Most of all, we need an intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need something to set against the present, to remind us that the basic assumptions have been quite different in different periods and that much which seems certain to the uneducated is merely temporary fashion. A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village. The scholar has lived in many times and is therefore immune in some degree from the cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and microphone of his own age.

I've changed my mind: you are the most ignorant person I have ever met. Firstly, Hitler was not an Athiest. If he was, why the hell would you think Jews bothered him? Secondly, even if he was an Athiest, how does that enable him the right to kill over six million people (est. about eleven million)?! And thirdly, Hitler was not a person to "love". Even if you like him from a sadistic approach, he ended up comitting suicide, and that isn't a very good quality either, is it?

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

pspdseagle

we should remember so we can learn from our mistakes, and if you ever want to go to germany it's good to know of it denying it can get you arrested

To prevent complacency. Huamns have this horrible habit of repeating history, unless they are aware of history and conscious of this habit.

In short, to prevent another genocide. Although this resolution really should be upheld more consistently. :(

I remember hearing about this guy who kept saying Hitler was insane in calss and the History teacher went mental at him. Clearly Hitler began to slip nearing the end of his life, but who can say that he was medically insane? Deluded definitely.

Hitler severely criticised Christianity and Christians repeatedly. . . . .

Anyway, the main reason for the Holocaust was to create a perfect Aryan race (white skin, blond hair, blue eyes, six feet tall, etc.). The Holocaust was a eugenics program.

He started as a normal leader, but quickly went mad with power, and then came the Nuremberg Laws, and well . . . you get the rest.
