ILAB engagement and technical cooperation initiatives to address the worst forms of child labor have made a critical difference in helping reduce the number of child laborers worldwide by 94 million over the past two decades. Collectively, ILAB projects have rescued and provided education to close to 2 million children and supported nearly 170,000 families to meet basic needs without relying on child labor.

    Perhaps the most dreadful event in recent history is the tragedy that befell the world during the Holocaust. Throughout a twelve year period, the Nazis were able to wreak havoc and torture innocent people purely because of their “inferiority”. The Nazi ideology was rooted in the idea that the German race was superior to all, and this state of mind was behind all of the atrocities that took place in Germany and surrounding areas. While the majority of the worst travesties took place during the final years of the holocaust, there was a significant build-up to those events, which took place throughout the years from 1933 to 1938. During these years, the Nazis began to show their true intention to the world, and began their systematic persecution…

    Fifty-four years after the liberation of thousands including Elie Wiesel from the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Wiesel stood before the United States of America and addressed the flawed ideals that existed during the persecution of millions of Jews during World War II. Ideals such as indifference that still exist today. Human nature has always had a habit to search for power and take it for oneself and one’s own kind, leaving others to face domination without a voice. There have always been inequalities and oppression of people with different social classes and races, but none have been quite as horrendous and deadly as the the genocide of millions of Jews in the mid 20th century.…

    The Holocaust is a pivotal time in recent history and the Holocaust Memorial Museum is an important reminder to this cataclysmic event. Not only do I believe it is important to remember this event but 38 million people since 1993 have been to the Memorial Museum to see why it is so important to understand what this mass murder represented. George Santayana famously stated, "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." and I fear that this may hold true to our generation. Not that we look to commit mass genocide, however, that we could forget the lessons learned from this catastrophe and not teach the next generation from the mistakes of the past.…

    As you read this paper I would like you to think about this one question. Why do we treat others so horribly in our society and how may you relate the Holocaust to our modern society. Here are 2 of my own opinions of why I think people today treat others so badly is, that they just do it for fun and laughter or they were commanded to and had no choice. Here is a reason I think the Holocaust began. Germany lost World War 1 and Hitler needed someone to blame it on, so he blamed the imperfects so I think their german government probably suggested to blame and punish the imperfects.…

    The Holocaust, which was the systematic persecution and murder of over six million Jews during World War II, is often cited as one of the worst atrocities committed in the history of human civilization. People speak of it in hushed, mournful voices as they wonder at how the German Nazis could be so malevolent as to annihilate a whole generation of Jews. Hundreds of eminent scholars have eloquently explained the horrific nature of the Holocaust and its effects on the modern world (Gerstenfeld). Yet, it can be said that emphasis should be placed on understanding why Adolf Hitler decided to exterminate so many Jews. Only by looking through the perspective of the Nazis can one begin to understand that the Nazi Party and its leader, Hitler, brutally…
