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.
“大屠杀”一词最初源自希腊语“ holokauston”，意指献给神的动物祭祀，其中整个动物被完全烧毁。自1945年以来，它有了新的可怕含义：由纳粹德国及其合作者在第二次世界大战期间，有系统地由国家资助杀害了约600万犹太男人，妇女和儿童以及数百万其他人。

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
有人说过，历史上的八卦真的讲得好吗？只是“他的故事”吗？例如，大屠杀不是一个硬事实吗？很少有人能改变历史本身。但是人们可能会努力更改事件的一小部分，或者使用不同模板中的相同单词产生不同的含义。大屠杀发生于70多年前的欧洲大陆上，自然构成了犹太历史，德国历史和欧洲历史的一部分。但是它怎么可能成为美国历史的重要篇章
