“Arbeit Macht Frei”(Work Will Set You Free) replayed in many of the Holocaust victims minds as they

Have you ever wondered how Adolf Hitler became the powerful and evil dictator he was? In todays society, no one is brought into this world as evil; everyone is born in the purest form of life. Something bad has to happen to someone that makes a person have so much hate. Therefore, in order to better understand what made Hitler so evil, people need to know that he was influenced by his relationship with his father, not being able to pursue his dream, and his beliefs.

Adolf Hitler, born on April 20th 1889, became the leader of Nazi Germany. He used his power to try to eliminate the Jews, known as the non-superior race. Thousands and thousands of people of all ages died under Hitler’s leadership. Mass murder, starvation, abuse in many different degrees, and an overall genocide took place through out Germany during this time period. Many wonder how Hitler could have been so unethical and caused such a tragic time in history to take place. Scientists and psychological experts dig deep in Hitler’s life and past experiences to come up with an explanation of his inhuman leadership during the holocaust. His childhood is where most experts believe his personality stemmed from.

Only about 3,546,211 people survived the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the main leader of the Holocaust, he did this because of his discrimination of Jews. There were more than just Jews killed, there were gay people, priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters. The Holocaust happened between 1933 through 1945 in Germany and Poland. Night, is an autobiography written by Elie Wisel who was involved in the Holocaust. Auschwitz Death Camp, it is a video documentary of the death camp including Elie Wisel and Oprah Winfrey. The truth about the Holocaust to me is horrendous, all the torturing they had to go through

Over 11 million men, women and their children were killed during the Holocaust, but, more than half of them were Jewish. Innocent human beings were abducted and put into concentration camps from 1933 to 1945, where they were tortured and forced to work long hours, each day, without food or water. Eventually, more than half of the Jews were killed and only a small amount of them survived. The Holocaust happened because of one man’s plan to rid the world of all Jews. He was determined to succeed. Adolf Hitler began a movement that resulted in the execution of six million Jews.

The man behind it all, Adolf Hitler, was a german soldier who served in World War I. Like many other anti-semites in Germany at the time, Hitler blamed the Jews for the country’s defeat in 1918. This blame he put on the Jews fueled Hitler’s hatred, and encouraged his racism and discrimination. January 20, 1933, Adolf Hitler rose from

Between 1939-1945 on Hitler's order, eleven million people were killed during the holocaust. Six million were Jews and 1.5 million children. The young were killed first as the Nazis said 'nits breed lice'. Only a few hundred survived the onslaught of the persecution, ghetto's and camps of Nazi-dominated Europe.

Eleven million people compared to 20 people, not the most similar numbers, unless they are explaining the deaths caused by the Holocaust and the Salem Witch Trials. These two events compare to each other tremendously in so many different ways. The Holocaust occurred during World War II, starting in 1933 and ending in 1945. Jews and other slavic races were harshly discriminated against because of Adolf Hitler’s beliefs. About six million jews were killed in concentration camps, and the remaining five million consisted of gypsies, homosexuals, and other groups of people. The Salem Witch Trials happened between 1692 and 1693, and about 20 people were executed after being accused

Eleven million deaths. That was one toll of the Holocaust. The world is losing grip of the reality of the Holocaust. It is important to learn about it, so that they will not so easily make a mistake like the Holocaust again. The three main groups that contributed the most to the Holocaust were the top SS officers, Hitler, and Hitler’s supporters.

The approximate number of Jews killed in the Holocaust is over 5,860,000 (“36 Questions and Answers about the Holocaust”2). 3,000,000 of these Jews came from Poland and around 1,100,000 came from the Soviet Union. Over 90 percent of the Polish Jewish population was killed during the Holocaust (“36 Questions and Answers about the Holocaust” 5).

The Holocaust is one of the most tragic pages in the history of mankind and one of the greatest tragedies of the Jewish people "many children of survivors, who experienced their parents’ silence and avoidance of discussing the past and their family’s fate, felt this as a personal threat" (Dalia Ofer10). Holocaust was a cold-blooded and pre deliberate decision to destroy a nation. It was estimated that during the Holocaust about 60% of the total Jewish population of Europe was destroyed according to official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. It is not possible to establish the exact number of victims among the Jewish people due to the lack of reliable data on the extent of the genocide ("Refugees."). Jews were

My understanding of the inhumane event of the Holocaust was deeply strengthened for the past few days from reading Maus (Art Spiegelman) and Night (Elie Wiesel). I soon after quickly grasp how Adolf Hitler’s plan of genociding more than six million Jews off the planet was America’s worst history. Many German soldiers were following orders of removing all Jews, but their tactics of killing them were dreadful. Germans soldiers were able to cremate the victim, murder them, Jews died from harsh conditions, eventually growing weak, or even a bullet to the head of Jews ranging from all ages. During this event, Jews were held up in largely overcrowded concentration camps; such as Buna in the novel Night.

A network of about 42,500 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territories were used to concentrate, confine, and kill Jews and other victims. Between 100,000 and 500,000 people were direct participants in the planning and execution of the Holocaust. The persecution and genocide were carried out in stages. Initially the German government passed laws to exclude Jews from civil society, most prominently the Nuremberg Laws of 1935. A network of concentration camps was established starting in 1933 and ghettos were established following the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

Some people may argue on who is responsible for the Holocaust. It’s believed that Hitler is one of the main causes of the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. Hitler Initiated fascist policies that led to World War II and the deaths of at least 11 million people, including the mass murder of an estimated 6 million Jews. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria. He was the fourth child out of six children. As a child Hitler’s father regularly beat him during his childhood, it was not unusual for discipline to be enforced in that way during that period. By 1900, Hitler’s talents as an artist had arisen. He didn’t do well enough in school to be qualified for either the university preparatory “gymnasium” or the technical/scientific Realschule. Then well along had a course in drawing, Adolf accepted his father’s decision to enroll him in the Realschule. He did not do well there. Later his father died after suffering a pleural hemorrhage when Hitler was thirteen.

The Holocaust was a terrible event that lead to many unnecessary events. Six million Jewish peoples and five million non-Jewish peoples were murdered in the Holocaust (“The Holocaust”1). The deaths all together made a grand total of eleven million dead. Most prisoners died in the Holocaust camps, but the prisoners were not the only ones that died. Nazi soldiers who disobeyed Hitler were killed.(Schwartz
