Nazis back on the agenda

5/10/2008 11:00:00 AM.  | Victoria Owens
Students could soon be taught about the horrors of the holocaust under a push to put Nazi Germany back on the classroom curriculum.

Education minister Verity Firth says the mass slaughter of Jews under the Nazi regime is a lesson in the fragility of society.

Currently the holocaust only gets a brief mention in year seven with students only learning about the tragedy if they adopt the history elective.

How about we spend time Teaching something beneficial, like Economics? Perhaps then we might get some future leaders who Know that Extreme capitalism results in world wide Financial crisis. Perhaps we could teach them that overt greed doesnt help the world grow to become a prosperous place for all. As for the Holocaust, no doubt they'll get Educated about it, everytime something doesnt got the way ISRAEL wants. just like we have been.

This is very important as kids or even their parents have no idea what occurred - it doesn't mean that jews were the only ones affected by all of this and that's where people get that bit wrong each time-how many were slaughtered in Poland and how many other baltic countries were affected by this invasion. Perhaps if people really knew what horrors people faced maybe society will become a lot better and respect will return, respect for those who laid their lives down defending their country (there are not many of these heroes or heroines left now but you will get the idiots who will bash these veterans for 50cents-what a disgrace and you won't have one politician voicing their opinions on that) or witnessed the horrors of their neighbours and family being slaughtered or were subjected to slave labour; young children impailed on fences and their mothers breasts cut off; these weren't of jewish origin, lives destroyed by the greed and power of communism and oppression and terror reigned;
