January 30, 1933 started the calamity that would result in the mass murder of some six million Jews. It occurred in all countries that the Germans, also known as Nazis, occupied during World War 2, including Germany and Poland. Jews were sent to enclosed ghettos where they were given insufficient amounts of food and were in unsanitary conditions. By the time of 1945, the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the “Final Solution”, for their plan was to wipe out the Jewish people. Jews were sent to death camps of which they were put into gas chambers and killed. Many died from malnutrition. It was the time of genocide, of mass destruction. To the leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were considered a threat to German racial purity and community. They were an inferior

People can only imagine the terrors that the Jews and other ethnic groups had to go through during the Holocaust in World War II.

They followed that up with an attack in France and other countries, and the beginning of their physical persecution on the chosen groups. Eventually Japan, the Soviet Union, the United States, and many other countries became involved.

Hitler’s rise to power came on January 20, 1933 when he was announced chancellor of Germany and then anointing himself Fuhrer. Hitler strongly believed that the Jews were responsible for Germany’s defeat in 1918, even writing in a memoir that a European war would cause the extermination of the Jewish race in Germany (History.com). Hitler was also obsessed with the Aryan race, which he believed was “pure”. These two ideas would become the main cause for this genocide. The first ever concentration camp, Dachau, opened March 1933 and at first only imprisoned political enemies to the Nazi party. Over the next few years the Jews would be persecuted and forced out of work by the Nazi party. Then in November of 1938 things escalated in what is known as the “night of broken glass”, where German synagogues were burned down and Jewish owned shops were destroyed (History). Causing the death of hundreds Jews and the arrest of thousands. In the start of the war, September 1939, the Germans have just started to occupy Poland. During this time the Germans were seizing Jewish owed land and business and had tens of thousands of Jews taken out of their homes and moved into ghettos. Starting in 1941 the Germans began moving the people in the ghettos into concentration camps and on March 17 1942 the first mass gassing happened at the camp of Belzec. Shortly after this five more camps were built in Poland the most notorious being Auschwitz (History.com). This camp by the end of the war will have killed more than 2 million people, and in total the holocaust had killed roughly 6 million Jews, 3 million soviet prisoners of war, 2 million soviet civilians, 1 million polish civilians, and 1 million Yugoslav civilians (the

The Holocaust occurred during World War II. It began in January 30, 1933, when Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany. The Nazi’s, or National Socialists, was Hitler’s party. He became head of the party in 1921, right after the defeat of Germany in World War I. The Nazi party was mainly based on nationalism and racism. They promoted Aryan (German) supremacy and a plan to restore Germany to its greatness. Their one goal was to purify Germany. This plan was known as the “final Solution”. Numerous groups were persecuted, tortured, forced into labor camps, raped, and killed. These groups include Jews, Slavs, Roma, Jehovah’s Witness, homosexuals, disabled, and anyone who opposed Germany 's political or religious views.
