Today we have begun a course on the Holocaust at my school. This is one of the many websites that we were given to look at to try and understand the dreadful events. This site is really informative, and is opening my eyes to something so huge that it's very hard to comprehend. Although I'm not Jewish myself, the thought of the holocaust fills me with a great sadness.
I'm glad this site exists, it is contributing to the worldwide effort to make sure that we never forget what happened, and that hopefully we can learn from it.

The Holocaust is Not Unique
"The German program of genocide remains in a class by itself as an example of evil", because "it was the only time in recorded history that a state tried to destroy an entire people, regardless of an individual's age, sex, location, profession, or belief. And it is the only instance in which the perpetrators conducted this genocide for no ostensible material, territorial, or political gain."
The Holocaust was, indeed, a horrific program of genocide that remains a class in itself. Jewish history has, however, once before faced such a nation and a such a program. It is known as Amalek. For no reason other than to defy the will of Hashem, Amalek stabs the back of the weakest of the Bnei Yisroel in the Wilderness. "No ostensible material, territorial, or political gain." Furthermore, the epdisode recounted in Megilas Esther was an attempt by Haman, a wicked Amalekite, to destroy every Jew, "the entire nation". In this sense, therefore, the Holocaust is not unique. It is a problem that Jews have faced, are facing, and will continue to face until the coming of Moshiach.
Indeed, 'zachor al tishcach', we must not forget to wipe out the memory of Amalek, of Haman, of Jewish persecution, and of the Nazis.
