The Holocaust was one of the most tragic and harmful things that happened to the human race. Yet few people understand how terrible it was. But if we don't know, how will we know if history will ever repeat itself or not? We need to know this because we can't let this happen again. There is also so much to know. From the life of Anne Frank to World War II as a whole, there is so much involved it's incredible. But exactly how deep was the Holocaust, and what was part of it? World War II was one of the most important parts of the Holocaust. Not only did it change the course of the Holocaust, but part of the war was also aimed at repairing it. Initially, Hitler had complete control over what he did because no one knew anything about it. He even hid it during the Olympics to ensure his safety. But during the war, he had to change tactics. He knew he was going to fall, so he decided to take as many people with him as possible. He moved the captured “undesirables” to “safer” locations so he could continue his work. Death marches were a big part of this transition as he could kill many people by moving them from one location to another without having to waste supplies. After liberation, at the end of the war, most did not survive because their bodies did not easily recover from the torture caused by the Holocaust. But World War II was not the only aspect of the Holocaust. As far as information goes, the life and diary of Anne Frank was and still is a very useful item. His entire adventure in the Secret Annex speaks volumes about the lives some were forced to live. Anne and the other inhabitants of the Secret Annex weren't the only ones in hiding either. The program...... middle of paper ...... millions were various other groups of undesirables. There was no one to stop him for a while, so he was able to do whatever he wanted. So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know the madness of Adolf Hitler or to know a large part of the Second World War? I think it's about how to recognize and prevent something like the Holocaust from happening again. It's like Edmund Burke said: "All that tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." » The Holocaust grew because we didn't know what was happening and so we remained silent. Much of the suffering and pain could have been avoided if we had just realized what was happening. Another quote from Edmund is that “Those who do not know history are destined to repeat it.” This is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so as not to repeat our past mistakes..
