    One of the most famous genocide events is the Nazi Holocaust. This event took place from 1938 until 1945, with an overall 6,000,000 deaths. This event was run by a dominant figure named, Adolf Hitler. Hitler began the time period as a boycott of Jewish shops but turned it into an attempt at exterminating the entire Jewish population in Europe. He blamed the Jewish population for the loss of World War one and then the start of World War two. Due to The Night of Broken Glass, the first mass arrest of 25,000 Jewish men were hauled off to concentration camps. Then in 1940, more concentration camps were built near what was soon to be name Auschwitz. The next year Auschwitz II was built, which was where the gas chambers were introduced. “The idea of using gas chambers originated during the Euthanasia Program, the so-called "mercy killing" of sick and disabled persons in Germany and Austria by Nazi doctors.” Mobile gas vans were another way of executing the Jews. But due to the occupancy being less than 50 people at a time, this method was short lived and the quickest killing method of mass shootings remained as the most used. Finally on April 30, 1945 Adolf Hitler committed suicide and his Reich soon ended.…

    The ones who managed to make it out of the Holocaust alive were too afraid to go back to their homes. They set up DP(Displaced Person) camps, and a group called the Jewish Brigade Group was formed. There were huge pits full of slaughtered bodies Now it was the Nazis turn to be tortured, to wake up not knowing if they'd live another day. Adolf Hitler had his own group of violent henchmen, they wore piercing black uniforms with a skeletons head on their hats. They wore blood red arm bands with the symbol of the double s-rune. The image still haunts survivors to this day. Once the Nazi Empire was beaten, the ¨henchmen¨ were taken to the city of Nuremberg for a trial that lasted 11 months. All the evidence proved them to be guilty, 11 out of 21 Nazis were sentenced to immediate death, 3 were sentenced to prison for life, and in November 1946, 10 nazis were hung for their crimes.

This is why we need to go through all the facts before trying to convince somebody that something's…

    There is no evidence that Hitler really committed suicide in the Führerbunker, but there are many evidences that can prove, or at least create a suspicion about the life of Hitler in America after the fall of the Third Reich. The Führerbunker was an air-raid shelter near to the Chancellery, only for the private use of Hitler, his wife, and his closest advisers and ministers. According to the Soviets, Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun, committed suicide in the Führerbunker on 30 April 1945, but the only records that can prove that this really happened were the testimonies of the Soviet soldiers who assured that the body was burned and the ashes buried in the Chancellery garden. So if there is no body, and the Soviets would benefit themselves if Hitler really died, what proves that he killed himself. There was only one thing that could prove Hitler’s death, and this was a human skull with a bullet hole , which was kept in Moscow; but in 2009 it was discovered that it belonged to a woman, so all the proves disappeared.…

    Because many Jews fell under the category of being racially impure, Hitler made it his mission to murder these men, women, and children. His lack of empathy for their race of people often led to the violent abuse, conditions, torment that eventually led to over six million deaths. Hitler implemented a system of continuous physically demanding work that was followed with meager to no rations, endless experiments that were dangerous, life-altering, and led to the deterioration of the physical and spiritual body, and tortured those who he felt were unworthy by unethical methods of punishment and execution. The death toll during the Holocaust rose as rapidly as the mentality of Hitler dropped. As the death of Adolf Hitler shocked the nation, one thing is clear. The ending of a man with such atrocious thoughts and actions led to ending of a dire time period that caused the life of millions. It is that one dies by fire that the world realizes how fortunate they are to finally be free of…

    Since Nazi officials had burned Adolf Hitler's body and disposed of the remains at an unknown site just before the Russians took Berlin, it was important to present other evidence of Hitler's demise.

Drawing upon interrogations he and other officials conducted, Trevor-Roper clearly described how Hitler and his mistress Eva Braun came to commit suicide on April 30, 1945, in a private room of his fortified underground bunker in Berlin. Trevor-Roper also showed how Hitler's last days were the culmination of growing dissolution of the Nazi regime in the last years of the war, with administrative chaos and bitter personal animosities among top Nazi…
