Why are there so many books, movies, documentaries, etc. about the Holocaust? Why do we keep retelling this story>

I think that there are many things about the Holocaust because people want us to realize that this should never happen.  To show that these things should be prevented from happening.  I don't think that this event was retold over and over again to criticize the German, or to show how inhumane people could be sometimes; i think it was just a lesson for us to learn.  And it is unfortunate that millions of people had to die for the lesson/ message to get across.  The Holocaust delivered a very special message to me, and that people are very special.  And you can't treat people just because you think of a particular way of someone.  6 million lives shouldn't have been lost because of one man's mistake.
