Auschwitz was the most notorious of all the concentration camps \u2013 where it is believed that more than a million people were systematically exterminated via state systems of execution and torture.<\/p>\n<p>Concentration camps were central to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dvCkw87FLZk\">Nazi ideology<\/a> and<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/auschwitz.org\/en\/\">victims were mostly<\/a> Jews, Gypsies, <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/what-happened-to-black-germans-under-the-nazis-53599\">black people<\/a>, gay people and people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>But while most people have heard of the major concentration camps \u2013 Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Treblinka \u2013 these were not the only places Jews and other prisoners were held. Each of the 23 main camps had sub-camps \u2013 there were nearly 900 of them in total.<\/p>\n<p>The horrors of Auschwitz and World War II led Western scholars and governments to become increasingly sensitive to the need to educate society about the dangers of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/uk\/politics\/nato-jens-stoltenberg-russia-war-command-centre-europe-uk-defence-spending-gavin-williamson-a8044691.html\">exclusionary institutional structures and genocidal social policies<\/a>. Which is why schools throughout Europe and beyond teach students about the Holocaust \u2013 and the associated moral and ethical issues.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/holocaust-memorial-day-what-happened-to-never-again-36629\">Holocaust commemoration<\/a> has also helped to create <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/from-the-somme-to-7-7-what-war-memorials-can-tell-us-about-ourselves-61129\">symbolic places<\/a> and memorials \u2013 such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.polin.pl\/en\/about-museum\">Museum of the History of Polish Jews<\/a>. This museum has an educational training centre with facilities to enrich the studies on the Holocaust. Other sites include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishmuseum.cz\/en\/info\/visit\/\">Jewish Museum in Prague<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/mjhnyc.org\/\">Museum of Jewish Heritage<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n<h2>History repeating?<\/h2>\n<p>Young people today are growing up at a time when support for right-wing politics is on the rise across Europe. With unemployment rife and the prospects of owning a home diminishing, right-wing groups offer an alternative way for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/voices\/why-do-young-people-turn-to-isis-or-right-wing-extremism-its-not-just-because-theyre-naive-a6778456.html\">disengaged young people to see the world<\/a>. This is evidenced by a surge of numbers and support for far-right parties groups across Europe \u2013 including France, Sweden, The Netherlands and Austria.<\/p>\n<p>In these countries, outsider parties have had large increases in support for their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/europe\/marine-le-pen-geert-wilders-norbert-hofer-rise-of-fascism-europe-far-right-leaders-donald-trump-a7417276.html\">populist and controversial political campaigns<\/a>. And while most of these parties have not achieved a full grip on power, it is a cause for concern that radical right-ring candidates are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2016\/05\/19\/the-rise-of-the-far-right-in-europe-is-not-a-false-alarm\/\">getting votes and being taken seriously<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"align-center \">\n<p><figure style=\"width: 754px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/202\/203066\/original\/file-20180123-182976-j02v0g.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;fit=clip\" alt=\"\" width=\"754\" height=\"503\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">France\u2019s Marine Le Pen who plans to rebrand the National Front in an attempt to swing her party back to its anti-immigrant and anti-crime roots. Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is increasingly worrying given that direct intolerance of others is being advocated by powerful world leaders. Since Donald Trump\u2019s victory in the 2016 US presidential election, he has caused <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/voices\/donald-trump-racism-shithole-countries-controversy-presidency-candidancy-campaign-mexico-wall-a8155396.html\">tensions among ethnic minority groups in the US and beyond<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Parallels between this growth of far-right parties can be seen in our recent history. And the political unrest, inequalities, lack of employment opportunities and fragmented societies \u2013 the sort of conditions that helped the Nazis get into power all those years ago \u2013 are alarmingly similar to the current situation in Europe.<\/p>\n<h2>Importance of remembering<\/h2>\n<p>It is therefore timely and important that young people continue to develop an understanding of the consequences of these ideologies and develop a moral compass. One way this can be done is by taking students to these historical sites and memorials to gain a full insight as to what it was like live through horrific events such as the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/comment\/tag\/auschwitz\/\">Our ongoing research<\/a> suggests that by visiting emotional sites such as Auschwitz, it may help students to become more morally and socially aware of the consequences <a href=\"https:\/\/theconve%5D(https:\/\/theconversation.com\/plays-written-in-show-ghetto-offer-new-insight-into-experience-of-the-holocaust-71382%20)rsation.com\/why-tourists-go-to-sites-associated-with-death-and-suffering-81015\">of exclusionary policies<\/a>. And that it also helps to foster a sense of responsibility among young people \u2013 and assist in the development of their <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edgehill.ac.uk\/comment\/tag\/auschwitz\/\">emotional and interpersonal life skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is vitally important, because we have found that some university educated students have a real lack of knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust \u2013 and recent political events \u2013 despite having this information at their fingertips.<\/p>\n<h2>Educating for the future<\/h2>\n<p>In this way then, universities and schools have an obligation to educate and develop the moral and social awareness of young people. And there is a real need to preserve Holocaust sites such as Auschwitz for future generations to learn from.<\/p>\n<figure>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AAhFcf5uVr4?wmode=transparent&amp;start=0]<\/figure>\n<p>Young people today are the future leaders of the world tomorrow \u2013 so it is vital that we ensure these atrocities of the Holocaust are not repeated. Especially given the diminishing numbers of survivors able to \u201ctell their story\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/counter.theconversation.com\/content\/90481\/count.gif?distributor=republish-lightbox-basic\" alt=\"The Conversation\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>This is why young people need to be <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/the-story-of-an-englishman-in-auschwitz-71601\">exposed to these historical events<\/a>.
