“If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.”

It’s important to remember atrocities like the Holocaust for several reasons. To honor the victims and keep their memory alive through stories of their lives. Also, to Keep such a thing from happening again.

Jewish Resistance

The Jewish resistance movement was significant because it showed that the Jews did not give up and kept on fighting even what they have been through. To prevent future genocides, world leaders need to have the political will to stop them and the world needs to develop international institutions that predict and prevent it.

The use of the atomic bomb on Japan was not necessary. First, the majoritiy of the victims were civilians. About 45,000 people on the first day of the bombing and 19,000 thousand after that do to radiation and cancer. In addition, the United States could have dropped the atomic bomb on a remote island and shown what damage it can cause and see if they would surrender or not.

The Cause of WWII

The causes to WWII are the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. First we have the treaty of Versailles that primarily made Federal Republic of Germany purchase all the harm WW1 had done. Then there was the League of Nations that failed to act against Adolf Hitler and Germany. In addition, I believe Adolf Hitler was the main cause of WWII. With the crash of the German stock market and there economic crisis, made Hitler’s political career a footnote in history.

The Most Influential Axis Leader

The most influential Axis leader was Benito Mussolini. He was the most influential leader because he made the war against Hitler more difficult. Then, Mussolini did create an innovative, Fascist-minded air force for Italy. Finally, Mussolini implored Hitler to make peace with Joseph Stalin and concentrate on defeating the British-American forces. Benito Mussolini can be remembered for trying to make Italy a Fascist empire, and being Hitler’s ally during WWII.

The most influential Ally leader was Winston Churchill, Great Britain’s Prime Minister. He was the most influential Ally leader because he was the British most powerful weapon against Hitler and Germany. In an amusing speech, he said, “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets… we shall never surrender.” This was the attitude that he fired back at Hitler, and that motivated him to try to invade Great Britain. Although British airfields, aircraft factories, and London were badly bombed, Churchill did not let Great Britain give up. Eventually Hitler decided to call of the attacks, stunned by British resistance. Winston Churchill may have taught the Allies and the whole world the most important lesson of WWII; Hitler’s attacks can be stopped.

, unabashedly thinks that tools for the crafts were invented by wise men. This is because he believes that the tools made in Rome are not very well crafted. Frontinus, Roman General and governor of Britain, neutrally believes that technology was not important to Rome at that time because he thinks that they had all the tools that they needed to succeed at anything.

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes out first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
