Time of the Holocaust

“The 40,000,000-50,000,000 deaths incurred in World War II to make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in history” (Hughes, Thomas A., World War II | 1939-1945). This was a global war where everyone was impacted, because of all the alliances that brought everyone into the war in the first place. World War II introduced many new powerful weapons, being used during the war that most people had not yet seen before. The Holocaust was an event during World War II where Jewish people were removed from the population. During this time concentration camps were being entrenched, and death squads were beginning to execute the people who filled the camp. They executed in mass shootings and buried them in substantial sized graves throughout

After the War, the people whose rights were taken from them during wartime were released. In Germany, the Jewish, allied forces released those who survived. They also had no families to return to, no homes to live in, no clothing to wear. In essence they had nothing. The war wounds of so many deaths and long suffering in the concentration camps shocked the world. After

Nazi extermination camp in eastern Poland. About 550,000 Jews were murdered there in 1942 and 1943.

The most positive outcome was on May 8, 1945. War had finally ended after about 5-8 years. All jews that had survived the Holocaust were set free. Turns out about 3 million were still alive, including Mr. Frank. Some were well fed and had been hiding in factories. About 6 million had been killed by Hitler.

Therefore, also ending the Holocaust. Also they emptied the camps and used many of them for hospitals. "The survivors were placed in displaced persons facilities." "In 1946 at Nuremberg, Nazi leaders are tried for war crimes by the above Judicial assembly." Many victims of theses harsh crimes, were now mentally, emotionally, and some, physically unstable. Whoever were affected by the Holocaust, and lived to tell about it, were traumatized for life. No one has ever been able to fully understand the effects this left on people if they didn't experience it for themselves.

From 1933 onwards, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis began implementing simple discrimination laws against the Jews and others who they did not see part of their master race. Hitler and the Nazis believed that German power was being taken by the Jews. Hitler was able to convince his followers of this issue with the Jewish question as it was known, and get away with murdering millions of people in an attempt to cleanse society of anyone inferior to the master race. The Holocaust lasted for 12 years, until 1945. Starting as early as 1944, the Allies were finally advancing on the Germans and began taking over their camps. These liberations and takeovers by the Soviets, American’s and other

On May 8, 1945 World War II ended in Europe. At the end of the war there were about 10 million people in the Nazi labor and concentration camps, forced labor units, and prisoner of war camps. Among the huge number of newly liberated people who returned to their homes, there were only about

The Holocaust was the organized and calculative plan for the genocide and persecution of six million Jewish people. In total, about 10 million people were killed by the Nazi regime. It was extremely organized by the government who, at that time, was run by Adolf Hitler. The Holocaust began when Adolf Hitler was elected as chancellor on January 1933 and ended in 1945. During this time, Adolf Hitler had all the power in the Holocaust. He got power by being legally elected as chancellor and changed the government to a fascist government and became the dictator of Germany. He got that power because after World War One, the citizens of Germany had little hope in their country and Adolf Hitler used this sorrow to his advantage and brought their hopes

The Allies freed the death camps in 1945 and got to be unwilling witnesses to the repulsiveness.

With the liberation of the concentration camps at the end of WWII, the issue at hand was what to do with the Jewish peoples with no place to go.

The path leading up to the Holocaust began in 1918, after Germany’s loss in World War I. Following their loss in World War I, Germany’s people were humiliated and angry. They had been blamed for World War I occurring and had had to turn over their weapons, along with having to pay for all of the damage caused in the Great War; and they were thirsty for justice. Germany had also entered a economical depression

The Final Solution was a Nazi plan for the extermination of the Jews that culminated during the Holocaust resulting in the killing of 90 percent of Polish Jewry and two thirds of the Jewish population in Europe. Slide 14: On January 27, 1945, the Soviet army entered Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz and liberated around 7,000 prisoners, most of whom were ill and dying. The camp's liberation received little attention. Investigators believe that this is a result of the previous discovery of similar crimes at Majdanek concentration camp and the Soviet Union's interest, for propaganda purposes, in minimizing attention to Jewish

This shows that victory in a war comes at an extremely high cost. WWII was a terrible event which not only caused so many people to lose their lives, but showed the world just what horrors the human race is capable of committing. There were many influential leaders during the course of the war, but ultimately none of them were able to prevent the tragedy that is the Holocaust. Even as new military strategies were created by people like Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin, lives were still lost. As one side lessened their deaths, the other side only lost more soldiers. Leaders like Hitler not only participated in the war, but created a new set of terrors as they targeted minority groups. As a result of the uncontainable nature of WWII, the United Nations was created to keep peace and order throughout the world, but this institution couldn’t undo that damage that had already been done. It is imperative that as a race- the human race- we continue work together to make certain that a war and mass genocide like this never happens

I. In 1940 the world’s largest Nazi camp was opened. The camp consisted of three main camps and 39 sub camps. The first main camp was Auschwitz I main camp or Stammlager, the second was Auschwitz II, or Birkenau, and the third was Auschwitz III or Buna. Auschwitz I was the main labor camp, it had gas chambers, and a crematorium. Auschwitz II had the biggest population of prisoners, it also had gas chambers, and was the killing center. Auschwitz III used to house prisoners who worked at Buna. Each year the camps grew and the numbers of prisoners expanded. Every day thousands of prisoners arrived to the camp. Individuals were transported to the camps by train, each

Other countries got involved throughout europe and began forming allies, generally into two main groups. Today these “groups” were called the allied powers and the axis powers. Most people today recognize the axis powers to be in the wrong but there are people who think otherwise. Obviously, overlooking fourteen to twenty-one million dead, seven of which were of a jewish lineage or were mistaken as one, is not an easy task. Therefore, (as stated by Soraya Nelson in A Holocaust Survivor, Spared From Gas Chamber By Twist Of Fate), “Some 300 Holocaust survivors were at Auschwitz on Tuesday, along with several European presidents and other government officials…” Even today, this is a highly visited topic that has lead to many of the human rights laws going into effect after
