Because over 6,000,000 people were killed just because of their heritage. With the possible exception of the actions of Sadam in Iraq, it was the worst form of racism ever imagined. And to make it worse, it was tolerated by an entire nation of people who had somehow been convinced that it was an acceptable thing to do.
Hate and intolerance can lead to genocide. The message is for us all to learn to get along, yet the hate and intolerance are still in existence in the Middle East, in the streets of Europe and the far east, and here, in the United States. In the Middle East, Arabs want to drive the Jews into the sea and have vowed that they will never allow peace in the middle east until every Jew is dead. In Europe, there are places where Indian and Pakistani residents are not safe because of the hatred. In Japan it is entirely acceptable to take advantage of anyone who is less than full-blooded Japanese. In the United States it's common for some blacks to hate whites and claim that it's "Just", because of everything that happened to them in the past. It's common for some whites to hate blacks because of some imagined flaw.
We have not forgotten the lesson that should have been learned during the Holocaust. It isn't ok to hate anyone based on the color of their skin or where they go to worship.

∙ 13y agoWorld impact, maybe? The holocaust is a historical tragedy that affected the entire globe. There are still people alive today who suffered and survived the holocaust-they lost everything-there families, homes and cultural histories have been demolished. If that does not merit "remembering" a devastating part of history I don't know what does. How can anyone forget?

∙ 15y agoHolocaust Memorial Day (HMD) commemorates the tragic loss of life in the genocides of World War II, in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur. HMD is held on 27 January, the anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp at Auschwitz-Berkenau. I guess this one is a religious preference???

∙ 12y agobecause the holocaust was the most horrofying,racist,humlliating act ever happent against citizens in the human history. 6 million Jews only were killed in the death factory arranged by the Nazis, and i think that one day remembering this horrofying thing is the minimal thing people can do, so as we the israelis use to say about the holocaust "לזכור ולא לשכוח",to rembmer and to never forget, it is our duty as human beings to remember that, and to never let it happen again.

The problem is whether the perpetrators are willing to recognize another holocaust as it is forming and occurring.
