I am going to give you a serious answer and one that will help you if you take the TIME to really learn. First you must decide if you want to have an education or not. If you become educated, you can be self-sufficient. If you do not become educated you may have to be dependent on others for the rest of your life.

It is not as easy to write an essay as it is to do math homework. With math your answer is either right or wrong. You should be able to answer the questions quickly if you have studied your math book.

For an essay you must learn to think. It is not something that you can do quickly so you can go play. Unfortunately critical thinking is not often taught in school. You can learn critical thinking by studying logic fallacies. This will help you analyse any informational article you read and construct a logical argument.

I assume you have learned basic writing skills. These websites may help you

Research is a learned skill. You can research a topic by using an internet search engine such as google, yahoo, alta vista, vivisimo, dogpile, askjeeves or many others. You can read through the list of references to select which interests you. Open the word processor that you will use, Microsoft Word or Works is what most people use. Select phrases of interest and paste them in the document with the information of where that article was found. Then take all the phrases that you have selected and comment on them.

I am opening vivisimo...http://www.vivisimo.com and typing holocaust in the search window...
Vivisimo found 205 articles on the internet about the holocaust.
Jewish (37)+⇨Education (25)+⇨Photographs (21)+⇨Holocaust Museum (18)+⇨Remembrance (16)+⇨Holocaust Memorial (16)+⇨Holocaust Survivors (10)+⇨Holocaust Denial (8)+⇨Holocaust History Project (7)+⇨Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust (7)
Bibliography (9)+⇨Video, Testimonies (5)•⇨Iran, Cartoons (4)•⇨Commission (5)•⇨Heroes (3)+⇨Homosexuals, Nazi (6)•⇨Zionism (4)•⇨Genocide Studies (4)•⇨Assets (3)•⇨Adolf Hitler (3)

I am going to choose the Teacher Guide with 7 articles...
These are the 7 links from the Teacher's Guide cluster
http://www.fcit.usf.edu/Holocaust/
An overview of the people and events of the Holocaust through photographs, documents, art, music, movies, and literature
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/default.htm
it is the same as the one above
http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/
it is the same as the one above
http://www.webster.edu/~woolflm/holocaust.html
Holocaust,Genocide,&Human Rights
This link has information that I would choose if I were writing the essay.
http://shamash.org/links/Holocaust/
refers to the first three links plus some others
one of the links it refers to gives the stories of 6 survivors. I would choose information from those stories to write my essay.
http://www.holocaustsurvivors.org/survivors.php
The next link from vivisimo
http://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/people/people.htm
also has a link to survivors
http://fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/people/survivor.htm
http://www.holocaust-trc.org/thegypsies.htm
is about gypsies

You may consider that survivors of the holocaust experienced the holocaust and would have valuable information to give. The survivors may also have opinions on how the world may avoid a holocaust in the future.

As you read through the information you may start to develop your own ideas.

You will never need to depend on anyone to help you if you learn to do it for yourself. It takes TIME and EFFORT but you can be proud that you are able to be self-sufficient.

Well, your research skills are obviously quite underdeveloped, because there is a wealth of information about the Holocaust readily available both online and in your library. You have gotten some good ideas from the other answers, so I'll try not to be redundant. Studying the Holocaust survivor stories has taught me about the endurance of the human spirit. It is remarkable that people showed kindness to each other when immersed in such unimaginable conditions, and when faced with almost certain death. Even more amazing to me is that some reconciled with God and held firm to their faith even after watching their entire family be destroyed. Elie Wiesel's transformation from Night to Day is a beautifully expressed version of the internal struggle that can be neglected when focusing on the physical hardships endured in the ghetto and concentration camps. That people could survive the expression of hatred from the Nazis (and world that did not support their liberation) and forgive is a remarkable lesson in the goodness of people. Also, we learn that a "threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" and we must stick up for all people, for we may be next. Check out the chilling poem by Niemoller -first they came for the Socialists, and I did not protest because I was not a socialist, etc.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came
There are several translations of this, but the point is that you must speak up first if you wish others to speak up for you...we protect each other against social and political injustice. There are so many more powerful lessons of the Holocaust, and I hope you take the time to learn more. You will be enlightened....and you might not hate Israel like so many thoughtless people do....because you will understand what they have lived through...

Well the main thing we were "supposed" to learn from the Holocaust was to never let genocide happen again. However, that proved incorrect with Rwanda and in the Sudan region.

An important lesson for all that should be learned is not to judge people. No matter what your told no one is better than anyone else and we should all be treated the same.

We also learned to be aware of power in the wrong hands and how it can get out of control. This is a very important lesson that carries on to today's world. i.e. Saddam Husein

Boy there is a lot to learn.... If you get a chance watch the movie paperclips. Yeah it sounds lame. I watched it and I learned a lot. I learned I can love man kind. Race age creed sexual preference, is not a reason to dislike some one. Back during the Holocaust, Hitlers mom had died of cancer. Ironically her doctor was a Jew so in return out of anger and sadness he had all the Jews killed. What good did that do his mother is still dead. Its sad I know. Mainly racism is the key here. You don't have to go out of your way to terrorize a person due to there race thoughts or what ever. If we all acted and thought the same this world would be plan and dull. You can learn from someone of a difference to you.

Holocaust
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Jump to: navigation, search
The word holocaust is used to mean 'complete destruction by fire'. The ancient Greeks would kill animals for their gods. This was called sacrifice. They believed some of the gods wanted every part of their sacrifices burnt, not just one part. This was a holocaust. Now, holocaust means 'the intentional death of a large number of people'.

With a capital 'h', The Holocaust usually refers to the holocaust of World War II, and this is the word's most used meaning. There have been a number of holocausts through history, though, including ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and the killing of large numbers of Aborigines in Australia by settlers. It was not always seen as such, but the mass killing of Native Americans by invading European forces is thought by some to have been a holocaust.

[edit]
World War II
Main article: The Holocaust
The Genocide in Guatemala was similar to the holocaust. The army and its paramilitary teams, including civil patrols of forcibly conscripted local men, attacked 626 villages. If the villagers didn't escape to become hunted refugees, were then brutally murdered, others were forced to watch, and sometimes to take part. Buildings were vandalized and demolished, and a scorched earth policy applied. The killers destroyed

When Japan invaded its neighbours, it committed many war crimes that were similar to the Nazis. The Asian holocaust killed many people, such as the 300,000 Chinese citizens in the Nanjing Massacre. The Japanese government also did horrible experiments on prisoners in north-east China, such as the Unit 731.

what? again? you've asked this question 3 times now and have a crapload of free answers to choose from. not to mention that a google of the word holocaust does in fact (surprisingly!) result in over 65 million results. obviously you are just being lazy and unwilling to do any actual reading or studying yourself. didn't you also sit in a classroom where there were lectures, discussions and readings about the holocaust?

people blame teachers, schools, school administrators, unions, the department of education, bush and damn near everyone else for the sad state of education in this country. seeing this $hit makes me realize that the ones to blame might actually be the lazy @ss students!

and yes, i would agree with that other person that you do seem pathetic with all your cutesy misspellings. it's unbelievably irritating.

Lots of good information here at the website of the US Holocaust Memorial. Genocide did not end with the Holocaust. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

Are you kidding? How hard have you tried?
There is plenty that we can learn from the Holocaust. What about all the Jews that were killed for just being Jews?
Keep looking, there is plenty of facts and information out there.
