REFLECTION 15:- THE HOLOCAUST

The holocaust has been a theory before and during World War II. People who say it did not happen really do not have any proof to back their motive or notion. There have been traces of much evidence left in Poland such as concentration camps and survivors just to name two. That proves to show that the holocaust was existent. Art Spiegelman father Vladek Spie one of the main survivors who was drafted in the polish army told his story of his life in Poland in his book “Maus II, A Survivors Tale.” The individuals who claim it did not happen are as heartless and wicked as the people who were doing the damage in the holocaust. It is very impossible to believe that these individuals were mistreated in this manner. Only heartless people would want to hurt people of their kind and then deny that it happened. When thinking about it I get very emotional and distressed over the situation of the fact that thousands of people were killed. I think that every individual should learn about this tragic time in our past so it will not replay in our future. As a teacher in training, I definitely will teach the children in my class about what happened all because of racism. With this, it will encourage them not to be racist and they will try to make this world a better place. If everyone thought like that, I am sure that the holocaust would not have happened. Therefore, it happened already so why deny it when everyone already knows it happened. Why not just try to make it better and influence the younger generation to prevent it from happening again. This ruthless behavior will only make our society a cruel, harsh and a very hard one to live in. I definitely would not like to see this taking place again therefore I am trying my best to live the right way and always be nice to others no matter their age, color, style and/or race. I also believe that it will happen again if we as the people of this earth do not change our style of living.
