mrs chapman and the holocaust

Why did Mrs. Chapman teach us all about the Holocaust?
Recently, Mrs. Chapman has been showing us movies of the Holocaust and been discussing it with us. I have found that I am taking a greater interest in anything that involves the Jews after learning about it. This led me to asking my dad about it. When I did he recommended that I read the predictions Jesus made in the Bible. I read this passage and I found that before he died he foretold that the Jews would suffer badly after he had died and barely forty years later Rome invaded and slaughtered many of the Jews and destroyed their cities.
. I feel that Mrs. Chapman has a great many reasons for wanting us to learn about this horrific period in time. For one, I think she wanted to show us that dictatorship in a country can be a risky business. In this case, Adolph Hitler was the one who was filled with the urge to become the leader of Germany and purify the world of all the Jews. if the country had not Had a dictatorship then the Jews may have been spared from the Holocaust. I think it also goes to show that one evil man in the world can do a lot of harm to anyone he feels like.
Another reason is that people can be cruel. Right now all of the people in our class can only think and read about the horrors in the world. The reason for showing us all the gory and Graphic movies is that Mrs. Chapman wants us to realize that life is not the happy-go-lucky, safe and reliable world that we live in right now. There are bad and evil people in the world and if we do not realize that soon, we are going to have a nasty surprise when we find out.
Finally I think Mrs. Chapman wants us to realize that the Jewish people have suffered greatly in the past two thousand years. The holocaust has transformed the way I look on the world. My classmates and I are at the age when we need to stop thinking life is safe and secure and realize that it is not a game. In short it is time to grow up.
