1)The simple truth understood by the pioneers of the modern human rights movement was that a society founded on human rights principles could not also be genocidal.
2)German historians who relativize the Holocaust by claiming it is a ‘copy’ of Soviet atrocities demonstrate deep conceptual confusion. They ignore the concept of the singularity of historical events, draw inappropriate analogies between race and class and postulate a cause and effect relationship which does not exist. These arguments are unmistakably intended as apologetic; they falsely deprive Nazism and the Final Solution of their primary character
3)On Monday 27 January, Holocaust Memorial Day will take place and the world will once again remember the six million Jews who died in the most tragic event in history, the Holocaust. This year that date also marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. But a lot of people may ask: Why should we remember such a horrible event? Maybe we should be moving on and forget the past? These are probably the reasons why we should be remembering the Holocaust.
Hope it helps you......
