70 years have passsed since the evacuation of Dunkirk, marking a formidable push for hitler's Nazi army into Europe. The second world war will be rememberd for all of history... or will it?
The history of the second world war has always been retold in classrooms around the country to remember the heroes that fought and serve as a warning from history never to happen again. However is this still the case? More than 70 years have passed since the war ended in Europe with Hitler's army defeated in the German capital. However it is vitally essential that the story of the second world war is repeated time and time again, youngsters must know of the hardships our forefathers endured in fighting for queen and country against the German war machine. I saw a question on yahoo answers asking; 'why should we study world war two?'. If the youth of today even need to ask that question then clearly the educational system has failed somewhere down the line.
Children should learn about the toils of the second world war, it should be an important part of education as without remembering what happened all those years ago history is sure to repeat itself.
