Many people died in concentration camps during the Holocaust because of the environment the jews had to live in and deal with, and many families were split and torn apart because loved ones of theirs had died because of the horrible conditions in the camps.

The Holocaust started in the 1933, when the Nazis and Adolf Hitler took power in Germany. The Holocaust from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned) cause chaos and tragedy for Jewish people. At this time Germany was a nation with a Jewish population of 566,000 people. Nazis thought that they were the most inferior race and no other race was better than the Aryan race. This cause a lot of discrimination and hate against other people based on their beliefs and looks. The Nazis provoked the outbreak of World War II, when they invaded Poland. The Holocaust lasted 12 years and it end it on May of 1945.

The Holocaust was the attempt by the Nazi regime to systematically exterminate the European Jewish race during World War II. The Holocaust was a reference to the murder of around six million Jews and other minority groups such as homosexuals, gypsies and the disabled (Wiesel, 2008).

One of the problems Asian American communities faced during World War 2 is concentrations camps. Since the United States went to war all Japanese, Germans, and Italians were seen as enemies so, they were put in camps because the U.S did not did not trust them. Also it was a way to have control over them having them in camps. Over five thousand Japanese were detained and were intern in camps in Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area. There were ten more relocations camps located in California, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Arkansas.

The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six-million jews which was done by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazi regime is a group of members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Most European Jews lived where

The Holocaust was a horrible event that had many tragedies and losses of family and friends. It starts in 1933 when Hitler, Prime Minister of Germany, rises to power then ends in 1945 where Hitler is defeated and the genocide is over. Jews in Europe were subjected to cruel imprisonment that ultimately led to the murder of 6 million Jews, half of which were women and children. They didn't just kill them, they caused the destruction of five thousand Jewish communities. The Jews were the victims of Hitler’s plan to genocide the entire Jewish population of Europe.

The Holocaust is a tragic event that took place in Germany, Poland, and many other places. The leader of the Natzies was Aldolf Hitler. He killed between 11-17 million people. Hitler mainly targeted Jews but he also targeted Gypsies, Soliet prisoners of war, Communists, Liberals, Incurables, Jehovahs Witnesses and Homosexuals. Most of hitlers targets got sent to concentration camps where many of them suffered and died.

The Holocaust was the killing of Jews caused by the Nazis, a group led by Adolf Hitler (“Holocaust” par. 1). This horrible event took place between 1933-1945 (“Children” par. 1) mainly in Germany and Poland (Altman 5). In the Holocaust, Jewish men, women, children, and Nazis were the main people involved (Byers 11). The Holocaust was the persecution of 6 million Jews and millions of others forced to, live in ghettos, deported to camps, and systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors.

Thousands of people were dying every day because of the hatred for the jewish population that people displayed. People hated the Jews so much that they thought they needed to be punished. On January 30, 1933, World War II was already having thousands upon thousands of deaths per day, but it was about to get a lot worse when the Holocaust began. The Holocaust made the number of total deaths rise by about two million. The jewish people were put into concentration camps because Hitler believed they were not as good as everyone else, so he treated them terribly and their living conditions in concentration camps were awful.

Camps now a days are fun for children when they are bored during the summer they can stay there for weeks make friends and learn all sorts of new stuff while their parents don’t have to deal with them for a while and are sure they are safe and having fun. The camps that are going to be learned about in this reading are the exact opposite, these camps only terrorize, safety is never an option, death is the only answer, and parents would never want their kids to go to through all of this torture and fear. Auschwitz known as the term for the largest camps during the Holocaust was a complex of camps from concentration, forced-labor to death camps. There were three main areas from the many camps including: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau),

Imagine being forced to live with the fear of being punished or beaten at any second. That is what life was like for the Jews in concentration camps. There are many facts that support the reasons why the Jews were oppressed. They range from how the Jews were mistreated, to the amount of deaths of Jews by the end of the Holocaust. According to historical documents and journals, it is evident that Jews in concentration camps during World War II were severely oppressed.

In 1933 the Nazis established concentration camps for people who weren’t like Germans. When Hitler came to lead Germany he started sending people to Concentration Camps. He thought German was the best religious belief and culture. Hitler created Concentration Camps for the people who weren’t German because he thought they were bad people.

While there were many death camps that opened during the Jewish Holocaust, none of them compare to the opening of Birkenau in 1941. Birkenau opened and before it was liberated “the camp killed about 1.3 million people” (“Auschwitz”). Birkenau was a factory of death. This place was a monstrosity for all of the prisoners. They slept in a bunk with two or three other people and a blanket per person. Once the prisoners were there, they learned that life would not be easy. Waking up at six o’clock and working 12-14 hour days with minimal food. “The soup was unappetizing, and newly arrived prisoners were often unable to eat it, Supper consisted of about 300 grams of black bread, served with about 25 grams of sausage, or margarine, or a tablespoon

Anti-semitism in Germany led by Adolf Hitler would back up a plan called the final solution, to exterminate all of the Jews in Europe. Out of the 100 million Jews aimed for extermination, 6 million of them were killed. On his path to German greatness, Jews became victim to inconceivable actions. First the Nuremberg Laws were passed which stripped Jews of their german citizenship, eliminating their opportunity to flee to other countries. After Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, Hitler forcefully deported Jewish people into fenced confinements called ghettos. More Jews died here than in any extermination camp due to the harsh conditions and labor. Most people living in ghettos had no access to running water or a sewage system and overcrowding

War is inevitable. Throughout history we’ve solved problems with other countries with war. Millions of lives are lost, but those people did not die in vain. From the Cold War to World War 1 to World War 2, as long as countries and nations continue to want more power and land, war will always occur. One of the most horrific wars in history was World War 2. This involved the Germans wiping out almost more than half the Jewish population due to Adolf Hitler’s beliefs. The dictatorship of Hitler was one that went down in history that will always be remembered for as long as we live. During Hitler's time as Dictator, there were many things happening against the Jewish. They were Isolated from everyone in the world, the creation known as concentration
