The Holocaust The year of 1933 during World War II, the unexpected Holocaust began when Hitler became in charge. The chaos lasted throughout 1933-1945. The word Holocaust in Greek Holos means (whole) and caust means (burned). It was interesting to me how they treated the children, there were a lot of important people that made contributions to the Holocaust two that stood out to me were: Adolf Hitler and Rudolf Hoess. Young children were targeted in particular by the Nazis to be murdered
In Germany many collaborators aided in the implementation of the Holocaust from the civil government agencies and business communities. “Local cooperation and leadership were essential to the success ‘coordination.’ so was a bombardment of propaganda from party-controlled newspaper and publicity enthusiastic” (Bergen 82) shows the local community was excited about a new dynamic movement and an explanation to the defeat in the world war. Newspaper, magazines, and films agencies picked up on the propaganda
The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and genocide that targeted the European Jews from 1933 to 1945. These actions were implemented by the Nazi’s and their new regime which resulted in the liquidation of six million innocent Jews and other small minorities. In 1929 Germany was suffering from the great depression. This was caused by the reparations they had to pay due to their defeat and damage they had caused in WW1. This social upheaval gave Hitler and his party the opportunity to brainwash
2. I believe Spielberg chose to emphasize those who act as enforcers for the Nazis in the ghetto but are Jewish to properly show what kind of lives people lead during the war. It was to say not all Jewish people suffered in concentration camps, but some went over to the other side and acted as enforcers.

One major historical turning point was also one of the saddest most gruesome events in history. It started in 1941, Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party. This man caused the deaths of six million Jews. That was only just the beginning. Hitler was an entitled man who felt that the Germans were the "Master race". All of this started because the Jews did not agree with the ways of the Nazi's. Hitler began to grow more restless, it angered him that the Jews did not agree with his decisions
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.

Throughout history there were many plots that took place against Hitler, all of which failed to kill the Dictator of Germany. The most important assassination attempts were known as Operation Spark in 1943, and Operation Valkyrie, or known as the July 20th Plot, which took place in 1944. The importance of these assassination attempts was the people closest to Hitler, who has the realization that the country was going to be destroyed as long as Hitler was in power. However, these assassination attempts
In this essay I will be discussing Assess the role, contribution and impact of the SS in carrying out the Holocaust. What was the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a memorable event in 20th century history. It began with discrimination; then the Jews were segregated from their communities and killed; and finally they were treated like property beings and murdered.

The Holocaust was perhaps the darkest event in the twentieth century. This genocide resulted in the death of six million Jews -not counting the death of soldiers from World War II. Although many Jews died during the Holocaust, some survived and spoke about their struggles and experiences. Art Spiegelman, an American cartoonist, interviewed his father, Vladek Spiegelman, a Holocaust survivor. After collecting information from the interviews with his father, Spiegelman, created Maus, a comic book novel

These genocides were absolutely horrifying as many people were killed in death camps, concentration camps, lynched, beheaded, shot, and stabbed.
