The road to the creation of the Holocaust started with one man. Adolf Hitler. Although thousands of people agreed with anti-Semitism at the time he was the one who started to take his thoughts into actions. After World War 1, German was in great poverty, unemployment and starvation. And the one group of people to blame were the Jewish people. Christians have been angry at the Jewish people ever since they killed Christ, and Adolf Hitler thought of this idea to eliminate the Jewish people once and for all.
The holocaust was a struggle for Jewish people all over Europe. The mass killings and everyday torture became part of many adults and children’s lives, along with the starvation, disease, and harsh treatment. When Jewish people were taken from their ghettos, they were immediately moved to either concentration camps or death camps, which are the only types of camps during the Holocaust. Concentration camps were more like labor camps, were prisoners became hard laborers and were given very little to eat. Everyone in concentration camps also dressed with the same stripped jump suit and were forced to wear a band around their arm to indicated the part of the camp they were from. Death camps were set up specifically for mass murder. The Jewish people who were deported to death camps were either shot or were gassed, which is the process of breathing poisonous gases.
Millions of Jewish people were slaughter and tortured during the period of 12 years, the Jewish people did not deserve this bad treatment and horrible experience. The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies that were made possible by anti-Semitism, the terror of other nations, isolationism politics, and outright fear. “The word anti-Semitism
