# data[].attributes.body
I think that the 2 most important ones are the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Auschwitz being liberated. I think the bombing was so important because it was like a test to see how much damage those bombs could actually do and now we know not to use them unless 100% necessary. Auschwitz's liberation was so important because if that wasn't liberated when it was and it was done later than so many more people could've died in just that camp alone.
