Why study the Holocaust???

"I have decided to devote my life to telling the story, because I felt that having survived, I owe something to the dead. And anyone who does not remember, betrays them again."
          -Elie Wieslel Concentration Camp survivor and Human Rights spokes person

So why should we study the Holocaust?

This passage really spoke to me because I would feel terrible if I had gone through something so tragic and genocide happened again because people didn't learn from others mistakes. Imagine going through the Holocaust and you actually survived it. You would want everyone to know, so if it happened again (which it is) you could remind those people and get them to stop! I think everyone needs to take part in helping stop genocide today!
