Holocaust & History

In accordance with Holocaust Remembrance Day, I decided to screen episode 20 of "World at War: Genocide" in class today.  It is beyond sad - so much so that I could not watch it yet again by 6th period.  One of my concerns has always been the fear that people could become desensitized - stop feeling - if exposed to such horrors repeatedly.

I know it was a brief jump forward, but we'll align things correctly by the end of the week.

WIL 4.2 Why Study History?
What is the purpose of History?  Why study it?  Why is it important to remember the Holocaust?
