While the people may pass on, their history will live forever.


It is essential that students study the Holocaust in all of its aspects, understanding that it was not just an attempt to exterminate Jews but all those people that the Nazis deemed “unworthy of life.” They must understand that those who ran the machinery of death were ordinary people who followed orders without thinking of the human cost. They should understand that those who ordered the Holocaust came from a country that was regarded as a cultural and intellectual center of Europe . Only through research, critical thinking and writing can students learn about the Holocaust but only by educating them can we hope to prevent a similar catastrophe.
