How Young Is Too Young to Teach My Child About the Holocaust? 

Experts talk of starting ‘safely,’ of ‘laying the groundwork,’ but how, and how young for the Holocaust talk?

I’m grateful for the darkness of the theater; it hides from my daughter the tears streaming down my cheeks. But she isn’t paying any attention to me anyway. Mia, 6, stares straight ahead, at the stage. The main character, a girl of around 9 or 10 named Eva, tries to squash an oversized stuffed giraffe into a suitcase. She takes it out, studies its brown and yellow fur, its sturdy wooden base.

  1. Terror must have been part of the Jewish persons’ heart every day … what horror! I think the children should be taught about charity before they learn about the holocaust because then, they will know there is another side to be sought after rather. Then they will see some light and hope when faced with evil such as Nazi Nationalsozialism.

    1. Yes. And, terror is now upon us all in some very sneaky ways. I believe that learning about the horrors of the holocaust will induce acts of charity. From what I understand, charity has always been practiced in public schools thru fundraisers like the march of dimes. I don’t believe our schools teach and collect charity for any humane cause today. I hope that I am wrong.

  2. Why is some of your content starting to go into the negative controversial topics to include your subject lines? I liked how your work was primarily on good intentions not wanting to spread hate or cast negatives onto someone.

    1. You may not like to hear the truth but here it is, shared by our AOC teams. Remember the truth is something that cannot be brushed aside because the truth has innate power for discernment.

  3. This article is historical so it makes sense but some of the others ones touch on a little toxicity for me and that’s not my go to style of read.

    1. To examine the past seems to be a logical thing to do, so that the same mistakes are not repeated.

    1. Yes, but that’s when parents can tell true story about the bogeyman/men as bad kids, bad people, liars, thieves, bullies.🥵
