A Day to Remember

Interesting enough as I was trying to think of a blog topic to post about I was reading one of my many history books for my major when I came across some interesting facts.

1945 Hitler commits suicide after U.S. troops occupy Munich.

1945 Mayor of Leipzig, Germany, killed himself along with his wife and daughter

1945 Soviet troops enter Berlin

Now to most people this events may not be as important. I have truely come to realize that history and the importance of remembering the past has gone to the way side. Should we not think back and remember what we as Americans and human beings have survived? What is the meaning and importance of history and how as a future teacher of social sciences and history am I goging to have to deal and over come these issues? It does worry me, that many young adults cant even remember simple history events.

All I know is that it is my choice to step up and do my part when I graduate, it is my passion to make my loce for the past interesting to my students. I can say that I am going to get through to all of my students but I know am I going to try, or at least I am going to make very sure that my students know to have their facts staight before they qoute historical facts.
