going to die. They were then gassed in very convincing showers and then cremated by other Jews. When they were losing the war, the Nazis were still trying to eliminate the Jewish race from Europe. Once the news got to the death camps it was time to kill as many as they could in on final swoop. They ordered the Jews to march to Berlin. It didn't matter where you were, three steps away or even thousands of kilometers, they had to walk to Berlin. This was later to be known

It is very clear to see the increasing effort that the Nazis were putting into annihilating the Jewish population at this time. However it only got worse. o Page 5: The Concentration Camps  Hitler became weary of waiting for the Jews to die off. He wanted them gone much quicker and in a wider scale. He set up a plan called the “Final Solution” in 1939. This was a perfect example of pure genocide. At this point, Hitler not only wanted

History has elements of evil, it reveals the cruelest capabilities of humanity and reaches the limit of imagination. Jane Yolen’s, Briar Rose, retells a part of the tragedies during the Holocaust and captures the evil history possesses. Jane Yolen recreates the Grimm Brothers’, Briar Rose, through metaphor she describes the impact of the Holocaust on family’s decades past. Rebecca, the protagonist, throughout her childhood is told the fairy-tale Briar Rose by her grandmother, Gemma, at her deathbed

"Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January

Ghettos were built so Jews can evacuate their homes and move there. That was a way to keep the Jews under control. The final solution was also implemented under the rule of Hitler. This plan was put in place to exterminate every last Jew. The extermination of Jews was

This is something that I really had an interest in. This project assignment really gave me the chance to dig deeper and do more research on the Holocaust and how the Jews were treated during WWII and during the 13th and 14th century in Europe. What happened during the Holocaust was such a horrible thing, but it makes me appreciate everything in today’s world. The treatment of Jews in WWII was very horrible during the Holocaust.

Those who were fit for work were sent into the camp. Others were sent immediately to the extermination plants. Children of tender years were invariably exterminated since by reason of their youth they were unable to work.’” (Adolf Eichmann - Biography 1). So to conclude on his duties, Eichmann was mainly in charge of the round-up

worst genocide ever committed, with between 5 and 6 million Jews murdered; along with countless other minorities the Germans deemed inferior (The Holocaust Chronicle Appendices). The Holocaust began with the boycott of Jewish businesses, and ended in camps such as Auschwitz. The destruction of the Jews was made possibly with the rise of Adolf Hitler to power, as he and his fellow Nazi followers attempted to exterminate the Jewish populace of Europe. In the paragraphs to follow I will attempt to explain

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
