History instructs us to be aware of our circumstances and accept our circumstances no matter how difficult. History offers us an awareness of the present through an understanding of the past. It is a guidepost to the future, uncovering the facts behind our existence while providing us with an understanding of the present.
My father owns a photograph of a very old woman, her face deeply wrinkled yet containing all the wisdom of the ages. "Grandpa’s aunt", he explained to me one day. The photograph once hung in the Seward Park Library, on New York’s Lower East Side, where my grandfather’s aunt lived, and where she died at the age of one hundred. The library had given the photograph to my grandfather, who in turn gave it to my father. My grandfather’s aunt had escaped the Nazis’ rise to power, having realized that the Jewish people would soon be unwelcome in her native Germany. Relatives of hers, including her sisters, disagreed with her assessment of the situation. They felt she was overreacting. Despite the ever tightening noose on Jewish rights, my great-grand-aunt’s family refused to accept the reality of the situation, and they paid too great a price for their trust, because her relatives and so many others like them perished in the Holocaust. History proved them wrong.
My father loves studying history, and he is rarely found without a book on ancient or modern warfare. Studying the photograph of my grandfather’s aunt, I asked my father about my grandfather’s role in World War II. To my surprise, my father looked at me blankly. He could recite the battle sites of every war but knew little about his own father’s part. Together we emailed my eighty-year-old grandfather, and he was happy to relate some of his experiences. He had landed on a Normandy beach three days after D-Day, June 6, 1944.
History is important to me, to all of us, because without it our lifelines have no beginnings and no ends. History makes us aware of ourselves and the world around us, enabling us to accept what are sometimes difficult and painful truths.
History teaches my grandfather’s aunt family that ______.
选项
A、they would be killed by Hitler in their fate
