After the end of world war 2, this letter was found in Nazi concentration camp, which contains following message addressing the teachers.
Dear Teacher,
I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no man should witness:
Gas chambers built by learned engineers.
Children poisoned by educated physicians.
Infants killed by trained nurses.
Women and babies shot and burned by high school and college graduates.
So, I am suspicious of education.
My request is: Help your students become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths, educated illeterates.
Reading, writing, arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more humane.

第二次世界大战结束后,这封信在纳粹集中营被发现,其中包含以下给教师的内容。
亲爱的老师:
我是集中营的幸存者。我的眼睛看到了任何人都不应该目睹的事情:
由博学的工程师建造的毒气室。
儿童被受过教育的医生毒害。
婴儿被训练有素的护士杀死。
妇女和婴儿被高中和大学毕业生枪杀和烧伤。
所以,我对教育持怀疑态度。
我的要求是:帮助你的学生成为一个人。你的努力绝不能培养出博学的怪物、熟练的精神病患者、受过教育的文盲。
阅读、写作、算术只有当它们能让我们的孩子变得更加人性化时才重要。
