chtistine and tasha ~ the holocaust

The Holocaust was a very heartbreaking and tragic story about the mass murder of Jews. This murder was brought about by the Nazis during World War II. The Holocaust was a process that occurred in carefully organized stages. It first began with laws that required the Jewish to be removed from the rest of society. These laws forced Jews into filthy areas in the city, used as concentration camps. Because of their race, they were stripped from their homes, their friends, and their families. These people were not even given a choice if they wanted to leave or not. The Nazis also forced the Jews into slave labor. They had to do work at these concentration camps. Some of these people weren’t even physically capable of doing labor. They later died of disease, starvation, and exhaustion. The Nazis continued to take over different areas in Europe and set up more concentration camps. Death squads began executing Jews in mass shootings and burying them in mass graves throughout the continent. In the end, approximately six million Jews were murdered. The Holocaust was brought about by a German man named Adolph Hitler. He had an interest for art. After getting rejected multiple times by an art insititute, he found a great interest in German nationalism. He started to cultivate anti -semitism. He applied for German Government where he got accepted in 1914. He started the Holocaust because he thought Jewish people were filthy. His acts of the Holocaust were very inhumane. He sacrificed many peoples' lives just to feel like he had power over people.
