The Holocaust is perhaps one of the most gruesome events that has ever taken place. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the systematic, bureaucratic, and barbaric persecution that murdered six million Jews for no reason. When he became leader he had only one mission and that was to have an exceptional race and he would do everything to achieve it. The Nazis who came into power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were racially superior and that the Jews were inferior and posed as a threat to the German community. Adolf and his “loyal” followers managed to instill fear in many Jews causing many to flee to safer havens. Other that weren’t as lucky fell into the hands of that Nazi regime. Those Jews that were persecuted and captured…
The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history. During World War II the Nazi party was gaining power. Hitler believed that the Aryan race were superior. Hitler also believed the Jewish people were to blame for losing World War I. The Holocaust was a genocide of the Jewish.

These camps weren’t made for people to survive. The largest camp was Auschwitz. Jews were forced into doing work and nearly starved to death. While in the camp, Jews were inhumanly experimented on like animals.…
The Holocaust was a very brutal event that took place in Europe in the 20th Century. It was genocide; Adolf Hitler and the Nazis murdered about 6 million Jews. This began after Hitler was announced Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. The Holocaust did not affect just Germany, but the whole world. Hitler with his convincing speeches persuaded many people to go against the Jews. He formed a political party called the Nazis and together they ruined many Jews’ lives.

The Holocaust was a devastating time in history that took many lives and changed a lot of people’s outlooks on life itself. The Holocaust started on January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, and it ended on May 8, 1945 when the war in Europe ended. During the Holocaust approximately 5,860,000 Jews lost their lives, which include children also. Many Jewish communities suffered significant losses during the Holocaust. Also, it is estimated that the Nazis established approximately 15,000 camps in their occupied territories. The Holocaust was a time period of death and racism; it involved the power and the powerless. Families, friends, and communities were separated and killed; some Jews made it but many died. This huge epidemic involved the mass murder of children, adults, and even the elderly. Due to the levels of power and strength, the Nazis easily took over and the Holocaust began (Rosenberg).…
By the end of World War II, about two-thirds of the Jewish population were killed. Countless people lost their family and their friends. When the survivors were released from the concentration camps, numerous individuals had nowhere to go, and no place to call home. The Allied forces tried a multitude of Nazi War criminals in the Nuremberg Trials hoping that the imprisonment or killing of these flawed, yet guilty German officials would bring justice to those who survived the Holocaust. But was justice truly ever achieved?…

The Holocaust was the country that sponsored mass murders for of over six million Jews by the Nazi government during World War II. It was the culmination of close to a decade of official discrimination, racial segregation, and brutal violence against the Jewish residential district in Germany. Under the shield of the war, the Nazis turned to systematic genocide after 1941, setting up industrial-style “extermination camps” planning to execute the detained Jewish population of Germany and Europe. While other groups targeted for extinction by the Nazi state, including gypsies, gays and communists, anti-Semitism was a fundamental tenet of Nazi ideology. In fact, Hitler believed until the end that the “war against the Jews” was a more important goal than victory in the conventional military battles of World War II. The Holocaust is today known as one of the worst mass crimes in human history.…

Over six million Jews died from the cruelty of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is a major event in history that will never be forgotten, or repeated.…
The Holocaust was one of the worst war crimes ever committed. 11 million people were killed during the Holocaust. “11 million people were killed in the Holocaust: 6 million were Jews, and about 1.1 million were kids” (Taylor 10). One way that people would be killed is that they would be forced into these large rooms and then the room would fill with gas and they would all die from it. Another way that they would kill people is that they would have mass shootings, where they bring people to the middle of nowhere and just shoot them. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party. The Holocaust was started by a guy named Adolf Hitler. Some people think that he started targeting Jews because his mother was Jewish and he did not like his mother. He is violent because his father beat him as a child; which led to him beating up his…
By discrimination we mean ‘the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.’ In this case, the Jews were discriminated because of their religion. In Germany from 1933 to 1945 the Jewish people were discriminated against for a number of reasons which lead to poor treatment at the hands on the Nazis, these included social, violent, economic and political discrimination.…
Recently, I've been studying the Holocaust which includes topics such as discrimination and equality for all. I have thought often that there can be several reasons people don’t treat each other with more compassion. One reason hitler used was the germans lost the war because of the jews. The jews did nothing wrong. Hitler homosexuals and mentally challenged because he claimed those people are different. The reason I believe people treat each other so horrible is because people don’t understand another’s culture and practices. If they see someone in the street with a hijab automatic assumption is,” they are muslim they must be a terrorist this thinking is how it all started with the holocaust.…
Holocaust is a "Greek word meaning, 'destruction of an entirety; a whole'" (Berry Notes). The Holocaust usually refers to a time in Germany when Adolf Hitler was Chancellor, and he and his many followers killed around six million Jewish people, as well as around six million others. We can see the beginnings of Hitler's theories in his book, Mein Kampf, which means "my struggle", in which he talks about the master race theory, where all other races than the master Aryan race should serve or be exterminated. After writing this book, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, and found many followers by telling German citizens that all of Germany's problems were caused by the Jewish race. Germans were quick to believe this, because they needed a scapegoat for their problems. Hitler then began to take away the citizenship of Jews, followed by deporting them to ghettos, labor camps, and eventually death camps.…
