Why we must never forget the holocaust...?

Question

Everything old is new again...

In Russia, they are starting to round up Georgians(just like Hitler did with the Jews before and during WWII), because for MANY years, Putin has been embarrased by this small ex-soviet state that has eluded the crushing supression Russia would like to instill upon it.

Jewish leaders would like us to remember THEIR plight, while the other atrocities of mankind have been marginalized, or whitewashed(slavery in US, Stalin Blood purges, Cambodia, Wholesale slaughter of Indians in the name of Manifest Destiny, Japan's atrocities in China.

And who uses these examples for their own purposes...Stalin, Putin, Hussein, Amin, Pinocet, etc, etc, etc.

So WHY do we need to remember the holocaust?

Answer 1

we should remember any mass genocide in world history.

Answer 2

I think the point of saying never to forget the Holocaust is so that in future years (like now), if such a thing ever starts to be plotted against ANY group again, the rest of the world will take notice, not be complacent, and will intervene before it's too late. I don't think it necessarily means to remember the Holocaust only so Jews will never be subject to genocide again.

I think that's part of President Bush's aim in having gone in to overthrow Saddam Hussein -- so that the extermination of his own people which he was carrying out could be quelled, and stopped from spreading to other countries near and far.

I certainly think that the world should help save the Georgians, if that's possible.

Answer 3

we could continually not in any respect ignore the Holocaust because if the importance of the crime. alongside with the jewish human beings fairly some Gypsies and Catholics were also killed. One such individual develop into Father Maximilian Kolbe. A Franciscan. Chris in case you should condemn Catholics i'd recommend reading his way of existence and his death. there have been a lot extra clone of him Chris's declare that the Vatican funded Hitler's purge of the Jews and others is fake. There are archives proving in the different case. His bigotry is exceptional It ought to convey excitement to his faith instructor's heart. another challenge i'd favor to sparkling up. no one has the right or authority to damn all and sundry to hell. That skill is in the fingers of God in elementary words.

Answer 4

We need to remember it for all the inocent victims that got killed(Jews were the primary victims—6 million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.
)... And it took only one insane person to get it all started. Don't ever underestimate people in power!

The following remark was made in reply to a student's question, "How could it happen?"

“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”

Answer 5

To realize what mankind is capable of... dispassionately "liquefying" millions of human beings in the name of "cleansing" society, "purity." It was not simply the Germans who are capable of this. Cambodians, Rwandans, Turks...human beings are capable of atrocious behavior. If we don't guard this in ourselves. All of us. That's why I'm so anti-scapegoating Mexicans or Arabs or Homosexuals or whoever else is handy. We all have a bit of this in us.

Answer 6

To prevent such an autrocity occuring again - you may ask why remember twin towers / ground zero, this is also old news

Answer 7

We need to remember the Holocaust so that it doesn't happen again.

Unfortunely we haven't learned much from it at all.

Answer 8

Because if we don't use it to remind people how monsterous humans can be to each other, good people will start saying it's too incredible, it's impossible to have happened, and it'll happen again.

Answer 9

It is said, What ever we forget we are doomed to repeat.
So somebody forgot it, didn't they.
