ES: Yes i think it could happen, not to the extent of the Holocaust, but genocides happen all around the world and unfortunately they happen often. And unfortunately we never learn from our mistakes.
MS: Yes ethnic cleansing has happened in parts of the world. We can’t just think "oh my country is [protected] from this." We don’t see it as Nazi Germany, but certain cultures are vulnerable to it because of their socio and economic class.
To put this in perspective, Ryan O’Loughlin, a student at Ligon Middle school, gave an example of a time he made a mistake.
“I had a hill right by my old house I loved to jump off of but I would continue to hurt myself.”
“I learned it was not right to jump off the hill.”
Ryan then gave me an example of when he did not learn from his mistakes.
“I love to climb trees but I always fall off.”
The opinion I gathered from these interviews leads me to believe that society will climb back on to the tree. I do not believe, however, there will ever be anything as horrifying as the Holocast again.
t is right."
If people are mindful of all the lives that were lost, it can try to prevent something like the Holocaust from happening again. "
"...Reminds me to stand up for what is right."
