The Pieces of WWII

I personally completely disagree with having the Holocaust separate from the other sections of WWII. I think that by having the Holocaust separate, you don't get the affect of how terrible it was, and it is hard to see where it comes into place, and how it connects in relation to the rest of the events that occurred during WWII. If I were to organize and order the years 1933-1945 I would write the textbook in chronological order. If you do it in chronological order, the reader can easily make connections to each event, and be able to form a better understanding of what happened, and why it took place. If the text book isn't in chronological order then the reader won't be able to put the pieces of the puzzle together, and won't be able to understand completely understand.

Here is what it would look like...
