Essay title: Why We Can’t Forget World War 2

I am sure that much of what happened in World War II, not only to Jews of

course, But also to Germans and other nationalities from all over Europe who

experienced the war and its aftermath in their own country, is still influencing the

psyche and the politics of millions of people, even of the younger generations, who

are not really conscious on a first-hand basis of what actually took place, World War

II impact on the international order is profound. It ended the Europe has been the

center of the international political history, today, once again reliving World War II

History draws us a lesson that to be better preserve today's and tomorrow's

fair and rational new international order.

As we all know, this war is the bloodiest war in the world history, decide the

fate of mankind in this big battle of life and death, a total of more than 60 countries

People can not help but recollect to World War II, the more important is it

should have no such unprecedented scale war in the future, but it is also a moral issue

in human history. Hitler set on the history of almost all evil action,
