Anne Frank + Schools Systems



Today, if we even consider about talking about Anne Frank in our school systems, it is briefly discussed. WHY?? Anne Frank and the 6 million others deserve so much more attention than just a day or two. They deserve a week, two weeks, or at least three weeks. The school systems should be taking on the subject of the Shoah and embracing it with integrity. How?? Well, the Shoah is something that everyone should have at least learned about in school (Or shall we put the commonly used word, "Holocaust"). Everyone should at least know who Anne Frank was and what kind of world she lived in. Why is the Holocaust taught only for a day in history classes? Why?? Is it too serious to even consider? Yes, millions of people lost their lives, but not only in the WWII battles, but in Gas Chambers and Ghettos as well. Millions of Jews and other forms of "Inferior" people lost their lives because of these Gas Chambers and Ghettos. Many of them starved to death, shot to death ( and then buried by the millions in mass graves), and tortured to death as well. Do we not even consider the damage that has been done to the world of humanity because of the Shoah? Why is Anti-Semetism and Racial Hatred still present? Why?? Is it because God did not create us all to have the same beliefs? That is the dumbest excuse that has ever crossed the line. Why do we hate people that may seem different to us? So, in class, when you are only studying the Shoah for a day, please, be an Upstander and speak for those who could not speak during the Shoah. Let your fellow classmates know what kind of atrocities the Nazis caused. Let your fellow classmates know that no matter what the cost, those six million people that perished, have a voice, and it may not always be theirs, it will be yours! You voice matters, and ONLY YOU, can help make the Shoah more important to learn in the School Systems. So, let your voice be heard and make it loud and clear.
