Free Post: Holocaust Memorial Service and Such.

I know I have a lot of blogs on my religion, World War II, and the Holocaust, but I think it is something everyone should know about and be aware of so that it never happens again.

April 27th and 28th, 2014, the days to remember everyone who perished during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was an awful time for the Jewish people and population. Six million Jews were killed. If you really think about the number 6 million, it's a lot of people, a lot of innocent people that deserved to live. What Hitler did to all of those innocent people should be unspoken of, but people need to realize what he did and take charge to make sure this never ever happens again. It's very difficult for teens like me who are very invested in their religion to ponder every day what life would be like if there were more Jewish kids or people in the world. Would things be different? How different? It's a daily struggle to know that my ancestors had to go through so much hardship, yet the people sitting next to me have the struggle of not getting a signal on their new iPhone or smart phones. I think it is ridiculous how spoiled our generation is and they should be happy they have the life that they do.

Another problem I have with this is that some people are so ignorant that they don't even know what the Holocaust is. I personally think that schools in there Social Studies and World History classes should be a big part of their learning because it is a very important part of our worlds' history. It's a little scary when the Holocaust comes up, but someone that is in the same grade as you doesn't know what it is. Especially if someone doesn't know you're Jewish and they start talking about Jewish people and their opinions, who knows they'll start calling you names and make you feel uncomfortable like you are unwanted or start bullying you because of what you believe. Everyone needs to be educated on this matter, G-d forbid it happening ever again.

Never Again.
