King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima pay tribute to victims at Buchenwald

It's wonderful that King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima laid white roses at the Buchenwald concentration camp to pay tribute to the thousands of people who died there. The Holocaust was a dark part of European history.  Six million Jews and four million other groups were murdered because they weren't Aryan or didn't agree with the Nazis or Adolf Hitler's ideologies. Their ideologies about different groups of people being inferior to the Aryans were very wrong. All people were created equal and they should never be mistreated because of what religion or ethnicity they are.

Yesterday, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima were at the Buchenwald concentration camp to pay tribute to the victims who suffered and died in the former German concentration camp during World War Two.

They made the trip to the camp, which is just outside of Weimar, on day two of their four-day working visit to Germany. Their Majesties laid white roses on the memorial plaque listing the names of the fifty countries where the victims came from. The camp, which was one of the first and largest concentration camps in Nazi Germany, now serves as a museum and memorial.

It is important that these visits to the Nazi extermination camps continue so that younger generations can hopefully learn from the past.

 I also think that more people (especially the younger generations) should visit the Nazi concentration camps so they can learn about what happened in the past and have a lot of tolerance for all people regardless of their differences. The would would be a better place without prejudice.
