The Holocaust- Hell on Earth
The word "holocaust"is originally derived from a Greek word,"holokauston," meaning an animal sacrifice offered to a god in which the whole animal is completely burnt. Since 1945 it has gained a new and horrible meaning: the systematic state- sponsored killing of about six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War.
“大屠殺”一詞最初源自希臘語“ holokauston”，意指獻給神的動物祭祀，其中整個動物被完全燒毀。自1945年以來，它有了新的可怕含義：由納粹德國及其合作者在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，有系統(tǒng)地由國家資助殺害了約600萬猶太男人，婦女和兒童以及數(shù)百萬其他人。

History- Who is telling it and to whom?
Is history really gossip well told as some say? Is it just "his-story"? For example, is the Holocaust not a hard fact? Few have the greatness to bend history itself; but people may work to change a small portion of events, or produce a different meaning out of the same words in a different template. The Holocaust, which occurred on the continent of Europe more than 70 years ago, naturally constitutes a part of the Jewish history, German history and European history. But how could it become a major chapter of American history
有人說過，歷史上的八卦真的講得好嗎？只是“他的故事”嗎？例如，大屠殺不是一個硬事實嗎？很少有人能改變歷史本身。但是人們可能會努力更改事件的一小部分，或者使用不同模板中的相同單詞產(chǎn)生不同的含義。大屠殺發(fā)生于70多年前的歐洲大陸上，自然構(gòu)成了猶太歷史，德國歷史和歐洲歷史的一部分。但是它怎么可能成為美國歷史的重要篇章
