On March 20, 1933 Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, was completed. It opened two days later. It was liberated by the 42nd Rainbow Division and the 20th Armored Division on April 29, 1945. Caution: Graphic.

Great history that should be mandatory teaching early. I hate giving this a thumbs up, but it is a necessary lesson. So many people knew- so many nations- and turned a blind eye. What a terrible fate for those individuals.

Maj Marty Hogan It is required that we teach the Holocaust in 8th Grade Language arts and Social Studies here in Florida. I have taught the Diary of Anne Frank, Night by Elie Wiesel, and other texts when I taught English at that level. You are absolutely right, and we do need to teach it early. I try to expose students to texts that will help them see the benefits of tolerance and teamwork.
