The Holocaust is a tragic event that happened not so long ago, but many people have already forgotten about this horrible event. Today, there are only few survivors left to tell their own personal stories of the Holocaust and what they had to go through. But what will happen when there's no survivor left to tell his/her story or speak of the truth that the Holocaust really did happen? Who will speak out for them and millions of Jews who had died in the Holocaust? Who will help defend them? Like many historian events, the Holocaust will become history and will be forgotten. If today society doesn't seem to care much about the Holocaust or know about it, then the next generation will become clueless about this terrible tragic. People need and must know and understand the Holocaust so that history will not repeat itself. Without understanding the hatred that took place more than 60 years ago, it might recur again. Not only is it important to know about the Holocaust to prevent it from happening in the future, it is also important to know about it to preserve the memories of those who have survived and those who died in the Holocaust. It is very important for them that their stories live on because they believe that the reason why they survived the Holocaust is so that they can speak out against racism and prejudice so that people can prevent making the same mistake. When talking about the Holocaust it is important to talk about Hitler, what was going on in concentration camps, what the Jews had to go through everyday, and the stories of those who survived the Holocaust. From reading and hearing about survivors' stories, people can have a better understanding of the Holocaust.
