Lessons learned from the holocaust

Can the Holocaust be defined? The Holocaust is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as the deliberate and systematic killing of European Jews and others by the Nazis in World War II. It not only killed and scarred the bodies and minds of many people, but it also taught and is still teaching us that we must never forget what happened, that we must respect and provide for each other because we are a people, and …

…learn because we know that that is what gives us strength. No, the holocaust cannot fully be defined, because no definition can explain the cruel and brutal treatment shown towards a group of people. We must learn from this indefinable event to stay strong and never forget what happened. We as a world are a people and when we begin to fully accept others for who they are, then we will be a united people.
