I am sure that much of what happened in World War II, not only to Jews of
course, But also to Germans and other nationalities from all over Europe who
experienced the war and its aftermath in their own country, is still influencing the
psyche and the politics of millions of people, even of the younger generations, who
are not really conscious on a first-hand basis of what actually took place, World War
II impact on the international order is profound. It ended the Europe has been the
center of the international political history, today, once again reliving World War II
History draws us a lesson that to be better preserve today's and tomorrow's
world peace for the common humanity should face the global challenges and threats
and start working together. Cooperation for peace today is the significance of the
commemoration of World War II. World War II history tells us that only cooperation
can stop the war, the tragedy will not repeat itself, Only cooperation can establish a
fair and rational new international order.
As we all know, this war is the bloodiest war in the world history, decide the
fate of mankind in this big battle of life and death, a total of more than 60 countries
and regions were involved and affected 2.0 billion population(of the world's
population was 80 percent).
This is the 63th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war . A historical
event or period in history has experienced 63 years of time span, it should be said that
it has become its literal meaning "history". However, although the 2nd World
war has been over the past 63 years, but not in Europe, not in the world, becomes a
"history" rather than the early post-war period, the 1960s in 20th century and
1970s has more practical significance.
Europe has not forgotten it, because the consequences of World War II are
still affecting The international situation, all the country's international reputation, and
its international status as the world's family of nations and their character. The
understanding to the war reflects one nation's moral standards. German
former chancellor Schroeder in the Buchenwald Concentration camp 3 years ago to
commemorate 60th anniversary of the liberation, said that "the Memories of the Nazi
crimes and the Holocaust to the Jews has become a part of German characteristic"
(Wang 223). In other words, the German people of today should always remember
"1933 - 1945", this 12 years in history, was not only confine to German.
People can not help but recollect to World War II, the more important is it
should have no such unprecedented scale war in the future, but it is also a moral issue
in human history. Hitler set on the history of almost all evil action,
brazenly pursuing its goal of genocide, the brutal measures of massacres,
which are beyond the imagination for the people, An American sociologist Arendt at the
Nuremberg trials in 1946 had written a very meaningful motto: "Hang
Goring cause it is necessary, but it is entirely inappropriate", and it is said that with all the
contrast of crime, this guilt itself beyonds all the rule of law. "60 years after
the war, especially in recent years, there grows a serious problem, how will all this, how
could it happened, Hitler is evil, but how would a person destroyed the ancient Greece, the source
of European civilization.
The reason why people can not forget World War II, not only because of the causes of
World War II, but also every country, everyone's position in the war and their summary and

seriously, has just begun. Germany,for example, Europe and the world have now recognized it was
known the"world champion"of the reflection of its crimes , but even Germany, during
The post-war decades, through a huge efforts of several generations of people, to reach this
level of awareness today. In that, the pressure of the international environment
also plays a role that also should not be overlooked. Let's imagine, The German who put Adolf
Hitler's National Socialist Workers Party to the top stage of German with 37% votes, The German
Who enjoyed the property of Jews that Hiitler deprived, The German who greeted the arrival of
Hitler on 1936's Olympic Games in Berlin, how can they accept the guilty and a spirit of
repentance baptism in just "one night"?
Germany has experienced a long "learning process" to finally have the awareness
