The Holocaust systematically murdered 11 million people across Europe, more than half of those people were Jewish. The Jews were blamed for the German’s failures, such as World War I. As a result, Hitler established anti-Semitism throughout his army and the majority of Europe. The Holocaust consisted of three phases to annihilate the Jews. The phases did not create racial purity and they did not successfully annihilate all of the Jews as the Nazi party planned.

Around six million Jews died during the Holocaust. It was a terrible tragedy that should never be forgotten. The real question is, didn’t anyone else in the world realize what was going on? This massive genocide remained unnoticed for several reasons. Though the most important reason is that Hitler had power. He remained the leader with unlimited power and no one could stop him. He was so in control of the situation, that multiple countries never actually realized the severity of the situation. Countries didn’t label this massive killing spree a genocide. The Holocaust was a severe situation that should have been recognized as a genocide much sooner during this situation.

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

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.

The Holocaust was one of, if not the worst mass murder in history. The Nazis did one of the most horrifying things you could think of, killing so many innocent people. Many different groups of people other than jews were also victims of this tragic event. Some of those other groups were: LGBTQ individuals, the physically and mentally disabled, slavs, and members of opposing political groups. These groups of people were ripped from their homes and put into concentration camps. The Nazis would either separate them from their family or they would keep them together and they would have to watch the Nazis torture their family and friends. During this very tragic point in history, more than six million Jewish lives were taken, in total there were over 12 million victims of the Holocaust. Not only did this affect the survivors it also affected families of the victims, survivors and anybody else that was connected through this tragedy. The Nazis, came to “power” in January 1933, which was during a time Germany was going through an economic hardship. They believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, were "inferior.” Adolf Hitler played a very big factor in everything that went down. Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party and was also known as the dictator of the Holocaust. The Nazis did have others that were Hitler’s “army” and they took orders from Hitler to do awful things to the victims and they were commonly known as

We remember the Holocaust, a time of horror, pain, and suffering. Approximately eleven million people were exterminated, 54.5% being Jew, and 45.5% being another kind of an Undesirable. All of this disaster was planned by Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. Him and his men took over parts of the world to dominate and create a perfect race. Someone with blue eyes, blonde hair, and fair skin.

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.

Stefania Podgorska was born in 1923. She grew up in a small village in Poland, was born into a catholic family, and was the third youngest of nine. At the age of fourteen, she then moved to Przemysl for work and met a Jewish man named Joe who later became her husband. When the war first started Joe and his brothers were sent to the ghetto but because Stefania wasn't a Jew she was able to stay in town and keep her apartment. Later Podgorska heard that the SS was going to empty the ghetto soon. She knew she had to do something in order to save any Jews she possibly can. Although it wasn't easy, she moved to a bigger apartment and hid thirteen Jews in her attic for about two winters.

Adolf Hitler left a devastating mark on Jewish history. In over 40,000 concentration camps the nazis slaughtered over six million Jews. During the Holocaust, all Jews were dehumanized and nearly exterminated. Detailed memoirs of this horrible times are revealed in the novel, Night by Elie Wiesel.

From 1941 to 1945, over 9,000,000 people were murdered by Hitler and his Nazi forces. The Nazis killed millions of people just because they were barely different from them. This was called the Holocaust. A holocaust is the almost complete or complete destruction of a race or religion. Of the 9 million killed, over 6 million were Jews. The Nazis came very close to succeeding the Final Solution.

She began the “Children’s Division of Zegota”, an underground group to aid Jewish people with food, water, and to escape. Irena had many different ways of transporting children out of the ghetto. She used the “Five main means of escape: 1 – using an ambulance a child could be taken out hidden under the stretcher. 2 – escape through the courthouse. 3 – a child could be taken out using the sewer pipes or other secret underground passages. 4 – A trolley could carry out children hiding in a sack, in a trunk, a suitcase or something similar. 5 – if a child could pretend to be sick or was actually very ill, [the child] could be legally removed using the ambulance.” Irena Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto in approximately 100 days. She kept record of every child she saved, and buried their names in jars under an apple tree. Irena was taught to help those in need from her Father, at a very young age. Irena saw the ghettos as a crime of hate, and unlike many of her counterparts, she was one of the few that actually helped. Many non-jews did not help, because they were afraid of being caught and put to death. Irena was able to use daily activities as an opportunity to fight against Nazi policies. Eventually, the Nazi officers caught

When we think of the child rescue during the Holocaust, we think of the. are the best known but, there are other efforts that should be recognized. Efforts from the Youth Aliya and German Children's Jewish Aid are not as well known but, deserve recognition. At the time of the Holocaust, many world governments were hesitant to allow refugees into their countries. After Kristallnacht, this all changed. These efforts helped save the lives of many Jewish children in Europe. The Kindertransports efforts included people like Nicholas Winton who’s bravery saved people who he didn’t

In the time of 1933-1945 Jews were discriminated, tortured, and murdered. By the time this ended, 6 million Jews were killed. These events were later named the Holocaust. Here is a bit more information about the Holocaust and The Nazis.

Throughout the Holocaust, Jewish people suffered in numerous and various ways. Jews suffered as a part of the Nazi plotted “Final Solution.” The Final Solution was a plan during World War II to systematically exterminate the Jewish people in Nazi-occupied Europe. This resulted in the most deadly phase of the Holocaust, the destruction of Jewish communities in continental Europe. The leader of the Nazi regime was Adolf Hitler, who believed there was a perfect race, which was the Aryan race (Bohm 4). The Aryan race had blue eyes and blonde hair, although Hitler himself was not an Aryan. Throughout the Holocaust, Jewish people suffered physically, psychologically, and financially.
