Holocaust Rememberance Day

The Holocaust was the persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazis. "Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the German racial community. The first time I ever heard about the Holocaust was when I was in the third grade and read an Anne Frank book that made me cry. I Then read more about her story in seventh grade. I couldn't believe how anyone could have lived during that period and be so positive. I really look up to her for all her courage at such a young age. Anne Frank's story and this one  helped me understand how unjust  the Germans were back then.
