The Holocaust

Throughout history, the world has seen many serious tragedies. One of the worst tragedies is the loss of over 6 million Jews, gypsies, and other ethnic groups that died during the Holocaust in the mid 20th century. These people went through hardships that most of us can't even imagine, first being taken away from their homes, being stripped of all possessions, and then forced into hard manual labor camps or worse. These people not only lost their lives, but worst of all were treated like animals. we must learn from the mistakes that people have made for us so we won't have to make them for ourselves.
