The fact there are still people in the world who don't believe in the Holocaust is mindblowing to me. I have heard more instances in the past few weeks of people not ever hearing of the Holocaust, or even worse people not believing it is even real.

Let us back this up.

There are people in this world that believe the Holocaust NEVER happened.

They believe the media made it up.

Well let me be the one to tell you, you are terribly wrong.

The Holocaust did happen, and it was arguably one of the worst events to happen in the history of our world. We massacred over 6 million people in concentration camps. We saw 6 million of our brothers and sisters who were Jewish to be killed solely based on their religion.

It was real. Every bit of it was real. Every life that was lost was a real life. Every family that was separated felt the fear of never seeing them again. Every person in Europe had some personal experience with this event.

No, I may not have been alive when it all happened, but I feel the repercussions now.

I see the pain the survivors faced their entire lives.

I have seen these camps where these people lived, it is not something I will ever forget.

You can't forget something like that.

I remember hearing stories passed down from my grandfather who served in WW2. He once had to guard the prison where a wife of someone who owned a concentration camp was kept. She was there because she would order lampshades made from human hyde.

She demanded lampshades made from the skin of humans.

She demanded that someone who had a different religion than herself be made into a decorative item.

This haunted my grandfather for years to come. The fact someone could be that evil, and believe someone should be put to death becuase they don't believe the same things as the next person.

This was all real, and the Holocaust was not fake. It was not created by the government just to trick the citizens of the world. 6 million people really did die. 6 million people lost their lives becuase they had a different religion.

Instead of denying this, let's learn from it. Let's learn how to love one another. Let's learn to accept someone elses differences. Let's learn never to allow this to happen again.
