The Holocaust ended about seventy-five years ago, and therefore we need to reflect on what we can learn from the history of what happened that shaped the history of the US. The United States is a country where Holocaust survivors changed and rebuilt their lives. The survivors were made up of many soldiers who died conquering fascism and some veterans who witnessed the Holocaust; the two groups are a source of history of the holocaust torture. The narrative is passed through memories, curricula, creation of museums and centers, ceremonies and creation of United States holocaust memorial museum. 

The eyewitness generation is diminishing, and, therefore, the impacts of the diminishing historians need to be addressed. The United States established a holocaust historical memorial to teach the US residents about the Nazi regime who suppressed the Jews and killed six million. The claims conference hosted by Schoen Cooperman was made up of several researchers who researched 11,000 American Millennials across 50states. The research done was aimed at establishing their knowledge of the Holocaust. The research results were surprising as the outcome indicated that most of the adults aged between 18-35 years knew half of the minors about the Holocaust. Many people did not see the number of Jews who were murdered, while some could not name a single concentration camp. 

The study further revealed that some people denied the existence of the Holocaust while Some historians and researchers distorted some information. Some of the millennials have accessed the data from social media, and they, therefore, believe that the Jews were responsible for what happened to them. Other citizens believe in the views of neo-Nazi. The results are surprising, and we wonder how Teachers can transfer the correct history of the Holocaust to the coming generations without distortion of information. The United States is involved in the writing of history because they helped conquer the Nazi regime and fix the events after the war. The international community recognized genocides as a criminal act because the world failed to respond to the Holocaust. 

The aspiration to never commit such murder needs to be stimulated by drafting the correct history. The world swore never to have events such as the Holocaust occurring in society. Teachers should help in teaching the Holocaust to high school students. The people will understand how the Nazi regime came to power, the nature of anti-Semitic racial society, how the Nazis promoted racial ideology and the impacts. The curricular does not provide the answers to the questions that students have. The students need to understand and get the correct concept of the occurrence of the Holocaust. 

Conclusion

The locals need to support the holocaust history, and they need to help students comprehend the correct information. Teachers need resources and support as they transmit the account to the students. The country also needs to have proper tools for investigations and research to ensure that the future generations get access to the right information.

Violence occurs because of ethical, political, and legal vocabulary that leads to the spread of threats of violence against certain groups, the idea was genocide coined. Such memories hurt the people who were either affected directly or indirectly by the holocaust or the genocide. Some history has been preserved though some people have attempted to twist the genocide or holocaust history. When history is twisted, the future generation shall get the wrong details concerning what happened during such wars and blame the wrong people for specific unclear historical facts. History concerning genocides and the holocaust needs to be updated to ensure that the millennials get the history right. 

1900: Raphael Lemkin

In 1990, Raphael Lemkin, who later coined the word genocide, was born by Polish Jew parents. He insisted on forming legal protection groups because he considered an Ottoman attack on the pogroms, anti-Semitic and Armenians. Scholars attribute genocide to have risen from the Ottoman attack to the three groups.

The rise of Adolf Hitler in 1933

The Nazi party acquired full powers to rule Germany when Adolf Hitler was appointed as the Chancellor on the 30th of January 1933. Disarmament talks were made in Geneva in October the same year, but German officials walked out of the meeting, and the Nazi withdrew its membership from the League of Nations. An international legal conference was held in Madrid in October whereby Raphael Lemkin proposed protecting groups, but the members never supported his proposal. 

1941: A crime that had no name occurred 

Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, and the event became the origins of Nazi genocide. The German forces moved further to the east, and the military personnel, SS, and the police massively shot and killed any perceived enemy, including many Jewish women, men, and children. The British then realized the attack through radio communications and moved Winston Churchill, the then Prime Minister, to the United States in August. 

1944: The name genocide is coined 

The Nazi leadership was aiming at restructuring the ethnic composition of Europe. They wanted to reduce the population of England using force forcefully, and they, therefore, made many population policies. One of the German soldiers’ actions was the mass murder of European Jews, the holocaust. They also wanted to murder the European Roma population and liquidate the Poland leadership and the Soviet Union. The other policy to reduce population was the various resettlement policies of small-scale landowners through forceful eviction, murder, and use of brutal force. The process is now referred to as ethnic murder. Raphael Lemkin coined the word genocide in 1994 when referring to the attack made by the Nazi Germans. 

1945- 1946: The International Military Tribute was formed 

The International Military Tribute tried Nazi German leaders between 1945 and 1946 of the crimes they had committed to the innocent population. The offenses involved; war crimes and crimes against humanity.  

1950- 1987: The occurrence of the cold war

Massive crimes occurred due to the tension of World War II. 

Conclusion

Holocaust and genocide are a crime and should be condemned.
