How to use holocaust in a sentence?

  1. Saraya Gomis:

    So often in schools, the Holocaust is only treated as something in the past and this has nothing to do with our present, it's not enough to just go to concentration camps and say that was a long time ago and now we are good. The result is that students don't see Jews as living people, just something that happened in the past.

  2. Gina Peddy:

    Just try to remember the concepts of [ House Bill ] 3979, and make sure that if you have a book on The Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing — that has other perspectives.

  3. Ron Peri:

    It has boggled my mind that you have not seen a massive backlash from the Black population for what is effectively a genocide. And if you look to the right, you can see that in world history, there have been great killers. The Holocaust, 11 million were killed. Six million Jews.

  4. Muriel Bowser:

    This symbol of hate displayed in our city is both shocking and unsettling, particularly on the heels of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, this antisemitic and hateful symbol has no place in our city, and we stand united with the members of our Jewish community against anti-Semitism in all its forms.

  5. Sami Steigmann:

    Somebody else, also a leader in this country, said the Holocaust is happening in this world, that is another lie. There is a difference between genocide – which is happening – and Holocaust.
