Thousands of jews were killed because they were too old to work, and because they couldn’t work or didn’t need them because they were women and little kids. They didn’t get much food or drinks, they only got little rations of soup and bread, and sometimes they didn’t get any bread soup or tea. “From this moment on you are under the authority of the German army.” (Wiesel,pg23) They wasn’t people no more, they were treated like property. “Yes I did see this with my own eyes, children being thrown into flames.” (Wiesel,Pg32) Children were being burned to death because they the germans felt they didn’t have any use for them because they couldn’t work. “He told us that having been chosen because of his strength he had been forced to place his own father’s body into the furnace.” (Wiesel,pg35) People were being forced to do things that they didn’t want to do. “Then as if waking from a deep sleep, he slapped my father with such force the he fell down and then crawled back to his place on all fours.” (Wiesel, pg39) His father asked where were the toilets located and he got slapped for nothing.

A genocidal policy was passed by Adolf Hitler after he became the leader of Germany in 1933. His goal was to get rid of all the Jews in Europe and those who are considered in his "undesirable" list.

The Holocaust started because of why they hated the Jews is because of Hitler and how he acted towards the Jews because of the race he thought they were when they were just a religion.
The Horrifying event all started when Germany appointed Adolph Hitler as their leader. The Holocaust began January 30, 1933 and lasted through May 8, 1945 (History 1). The Holocaust affected numerous of Jews and killed approximately 6 million (History 1). To blame for this uncivil act is Hitler and also the Nazis.

Adolf Hitler the leader of Nazis, who afraid Jews would take power over Germans; also, many Germans felt they were mistreated by the lost so Jews were like a scapegoat from the previous war lose so they can treat them inhumanely (“The Holocaust”).

The holocaust was a time of pure darkness. The German Nazi’s thought their race would be better off without Jews and so they decided to kill them off. The Nazi’s were a group who was under Adolf Hitler’s control and had the power to kill Jews. The Nazi’s were basically Hitler’s soldiers. Adolf Hitler was the current Chancellor of Germany during that time. The Nazi’s however did not only target Jews which accounted for nine million of Europe’s population alone, but also homosexual’s, Jehovah’s witnesses, Gypsies, disabled individuals, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, communists and socialists. The holocaust plays a role in the start of World War II. During the war, the Nazi’s managed to wipe out hundreds of Jewish communities and ended up killing around six million people total. They used to make Jews wear a badge on their clothes when going anywhere to show everyone they were Jewish. It used to be a law for Jews to wear such garments up until the nineteenth century and if they failed to do so, there was severe punishment. This is how Nazi’s chose whom to persecute.
