These groups of people were ripped from their homes and put into concentration camps. The Nazis would either

This can be seen from the horrors of the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel, Eugene Black, Iby Knill, and Jakob W. are a few of the survivors to tell their stories of heartbreak. Even though humans have made intellectual advances, some still view dehumanization as an order to benefit themselves and to get ahead of another race or religion.

The Holocaust, a genocide which lasted from 1942 to 1945 in which around 6 million European Jewish people were killed, was the result of the Ideals of the the past chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler.

may describe the holocaust as a living nightmare because of the death and destruction that it caused them and their families, whereas as SS leaders may have seen this as an opportunity to stamp their authority on the situation and showcase their leadership skills. One major limitation that comes when trying to represent the holocaust involves the title that civilization has given to this period of history.

What did America do during the time period in which the Holocaust was happening? To start, the Holocaust was the genocide that killed six million Jews in Europe by Nazi Germany.
