This is part of the history of the world. It happened and it should not be hidden from future generations. Hopefully it will never happen again, but there are governments that continue this Trend

I personally knew a survivor. She was an amazing lady. She said if we don’t learn from our past then those lessons have to be relearned. Basically if you don’t learn from the past you are doomed to r.

We are doomed to history repeating itself if it's not taught.

It's about time to teach real history, not politically correct junk.

Teach students about the Holocaust and other historical events. Make sure all sides are taught and discussed not just what the teacher wants to.

We have to many Liberal teachers teaching Liberal/Socialist ways and children need to be taught history of America which includes the Holocaust.

History, good or bad is important for kids to learn to know how we got here today. Learn from mistakes and repeat what works.

The Holocaust is an unfathomable comment on what humans are capable of. We should never forget that it was, and is, possible.

It's important to understand the rise of fascism and the lead up to WWII. Also to have a sense of what can happen when extreme nationalism rules the minds of those in power.

We are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, if we do not know the mistakes of the past. I can not believe that the holocaust and ALL history is not being taught in our schools!!!

You need to learn from history’s mistakes. If you pretend it didn’t happen, it doesn’t make it go away. Learn from our past to prevent the same from happening in our future

I feel it would be a great thing to learn. It has both sadness and happiness. It is a piece of history that should be told , but not mandated. It really gets your heart if you visit a Holocaust

If the state were to teach equal & accurate history, like what France did to Germany, how black slaves were given by tribal leaders, malcom x, etc., I would support this. Half history is NOT teaching
