Why are the holocaust memorial and the world war ii memorial important?

The Holocaust memorial honored the lives of the thousands of Jews that lost their lives. It serves as an example of how hatred/religious discrimination can devastate the lives of thousands. The same can be said for the World War II memorial. These memorials are important for honoring the lives of those who died fighting for what they believe in. It's important that we do not forget the sacrifices that these people made for justice. (I hope this helps!)
