  Remembering the holocaust is good and bad in some ways. It’s good to show respect for the Jewish who went through terrible conditions. Also, other people may just want to forget all of the terrible things that happened.

  I think that remembering the Holocaust is wonderful. I feel that it has positive and negative effects. It has a positive effect because it shows that all the Jewish people who died and survived will always be remembered. It has a negative effect because some people just want to forget about the terrible conditions people went through.

  This video/picture does not work. This counts as a comment.

  There was something wrong going in Hitlers head, he had no right to start the holocaust. It is good however that we have a rememberance day for all of the Jewish who died for no good reason at all.

  Those who lost their lives in the Holocaust deserve our respect. The fact we build memorials and have Yom HoShoah is right, despite some people do not agree with it.

  Elise makes me smile.

  And Chris sorta freaks me out.

  But apart from that…

  I think it’s nice that we’re remembering the those who died in WWII. Cuz the Holocaust was pretty stupid. And pointless.

  But I have a question:

  Is this only for the Jews? Or the soldiers, too? Because they gave THEIR lives, too, yah know.

  Remembering the Holocaust is one of the most important things in history. It was a tragic time of despair and yearning for freedom. What we need to remember is those that were killed during this dark period of history. We should all take time today to do so. The Holocaust was the work of a man who deserves not to be remembered. An evil man who commited heinous crimes against humanity. Sadly, there are those who are still in denial about the Holocaust. We need to do more to make sure children in school learn about the horrible things that happened during World War Two.

  The video won’t work in the school.

  I believe that Holocaust Remembrance Day is a good thing because it shows that we still remember the poeple who died what what all the poeple in the camps went through.

  The Holocaust memorial and the rememberance day are both good things in our society. It shows that although many jews were killed, people all around the world remeber them and what they went through.

  i agree with dolan jacobs

  I think Holocaust Remembrance Day is such a good idea. We can remember all the innocent lives who died in the Holocaust. However, I feel sorry for all of the survivors. I would respect their wishes if they did not want to remember what happened.

  Holocaust Remembrance Day is a great idea. It shows we respect the people that lost their lives, and it shows that the wrong done in the holocaust will never be forgotten.

  This video was sad……even to me.

  Why do we commemorate Jews for being killed when we don’t commemorate the Native Americans or the Armenians that were killed in genocides or people in Darfur now?
  Just wondering…….

  And how do we know Hitler was evil and not just instead mentally enslaved by his own anti-semetic ideas? What if he told the same lies so many times that he started to believe them himself? For those of you that think that that’s impossible and can’t happen, ask Buell about her timely food poisoning during exams when she was in college. “The best part of Believe is the lie.”

  And besides what i said earlier about Hitler managing to conceive himself, he also didn’t exactly have the best childhood. His Dad was strict and had a military like manner in his fathering and wasn’t the best father, and his mom, who was essentially the only loving parent he had, died when he was little. Which left him in the hands of someone he had grown to hate as he was growing up….. He also got rejected from a top art school, which finished putting him down deeper in the hole of depression he was in. What would have happened if he had been accepted into that school? Would we have another famous Picaso instead of the infamous Hitler we now learn about, and some grow to hate?

  I kind of agree with Scott. I get what he means by saying that we should have remembrance days for other large groups of people who died. But I think that the way the jews were treated, the cruel ways that they died, and just the ridiculous amount of people who died makes them deserve a remembrance day more than anyone else.

  the Cherokee deserve a rememberance day

• 22    Scott S // May 28, 2008 at 9:12 pm

  Why not just have a giant global remberance day for everyone that deserves it? And up above i meant deceive not conceive. That was a major typo on my part, my bad.
