Adolf Hitler and The Holocaust

Adolf Hitler is from Austria. He was in the German war and got injured for a period of time. He wanted to become an artist but when he got rejected to go to art school twice. People wonder why Hitler was a horrible person. Maybe because people thought he was not good enough. Maybe because he just was not in anybody's liking.

During the 1930s, Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, wrote a book, and started a war with a Nazi party. Hitler also tired to overthrow the German government, but failed and was sent to prision. He was supposed to spend five years but he only spent nine months. In those nine months, he wrote a book called Mien Kampf meaning My Struggle.

We learn about The Holocaust so history does not repeat itself. Nobody wants to be in a group of people or race or religion that society does not want or like. Everybody is the same in some way, but they are also different; and people should repsect that. Just because they are different does not mean they should be blamed or singled out either.

We learn about The Holocaust so we can learn to treat other people with repsect.
