He put everyone that wasn’t pure German into concentration camps and put them to work and once they were no longer needed they were allowed to “take a shower” when in reality the Nazis were about to gas them. This lasted until the end of WWII. In Auschwitz alone 1.1 million jews died not all by the gas chamber but there was still 1.1 million that died one way or
