The Holocaust is a significant historical event that has affected the whole world both positively and negatively. Most people would argue that it only shaped the future of the world negatively, which I do agree with, but I believe that there are still positive outcomes of the Holocaust. For instance, this led the world to know that this should not be ever repeated in the present day and the future. It is a lesson for the world to ensure that something as problematic as the Holocaust should never be repeated again. I don’t really know anyone that is familiar or has associated with the Holocaust but I have heard many stories from the survivors of the Holocaust. For instance, the great things that the Ten Boom family, especially Corrie Ten Boom, has done.

Corrie Ten Boom’s family was one of the families that would help hide the Jews from the Nazis. They sacrificed their family in order for approximately 800 Jewish survivors. At the end of the day, their family went to jail and the concentration camp. This left Corrie Ten Boom to be the only survivor from the concentration camp. Throughout this journey she actually learned a very important thing in her life, this was the power of God’s love and forgiveness. This was shown by her sister who was a forgiving person and a person who is willing to share the gospel and love in the concentration camp.

I chose to write about the Holocaust because it is a historical event that has impacted the world but also it was a topic that I am interested in. This is the same reason why I chose to write about the holocaust in my essay.
