When the Nazis came for the communists,I remained silent;I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the Jews,I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,there was no one
left to speak out.
by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945

Why study and remember the Holocaust? by 6th. Graders
• “It teaches us about prejudice.”
• “To learn how cruelly Jews were treated for just being human.”
• “To prevent future ones.”• “It could start again if we
don’t learn and remember.” Peace begins with you & me
