The cruelty that was used to remove the jews from their homes is terrifying. Additionally, removing their identities and dehumanizing them were steps in confining the Jews to a faith that resembles animals waiting to be slaughtered. Finally, the killing that is happening day and night in the gas chambers is beyond the most disturbing and scary
