The Holocaust: The Rise Of The Holocaust In World War II

The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy which started in January of 1933 and ended in May of 1945, the Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of people. The word was derived from the Greek word that meant Sacrifice to the Gods (Steele 7), also called the Shoan which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe (Steele 7). So many countries took place in this 12-year genocide, including, “Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, which were also known as the Axis Powers” (Steele 34). But, although there were all those countries they were all part of one larger group called the Nazis, were the ones who were killing all the different denominations of people. (Bachrach 58). All of this led to the gigantic catastrophe called the Holocaust. The

During the 1930’s and 40’s Nazi Germany was a dictatorship ruled by Adolf Hitler he was a cruel dictator who had a goal to eliminate all european jews this shows in “Law,Justice,and the Holocaust” where it says that he and The Nazis mainly targeted people of the Jewish faith, at the end of the war they successfully killed six million jewish men,women, and children. This event was known as the holocaust. Hitler was a very cruel and hated man by the people who weren’t being schooled by the Nazis.

Hitler led a regime of German people to conform against other people with different religions, ethnicities, and sexualities. Hitler was an idol for Germany and Jewish people were the scapegoats for Germany’s problems. Hitler convinced and manipulated millions of people to fight for his agenda. Hitler directed the minds of his followers to support a cause that killed millions of people which is now known as the Holocaust. Hitler was able to execute his plans for the Holocaust because of the aid from others which was demonstrated by Nazi leaders, the German military, and the Axis powers.

In the “Introduction to the Holocaust” from Holocaust Encyclopedia, the author explains the history of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was an organized process of maltreatment to rid people who the Nazis considered imperfect, beginning in Germany in January 1933 to May 1945. The Nazi’s and their empire believed that they were above the Jews, Homosexuals, and Gypsies. As a result, a total reaching into the millions of Jews and non-Jews perished or were victimized from the horrors of the Holocaust. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many of the survivors found help in displaced persons camps provided by the Allied Forces and many Jews emigrated to Israel as well as the United States and other countries. For all these reasons, the Holocaust will

The holocaust was known as a “systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its supporters. The Nazis who came into power in Germany in January 1933 believed that German’s were ‘racially inferior. '” (Introduction to the Holocaust, USHMM). During the peak of the Nazi regime, which was in the midst of the world war, the government implemented concentration camps as a method to “detain political and ideological opponents.” (Introduction to the Holocaust, USHMM). Progressively in the years leading to the end of the war, the Schutzstaffel (Hitler 's private bodyguards) and the Gestapo (secret police of Nazi Germany) imprisoned Jews, Roma, and others victims of inferior ethnic and

Adolf Hitler preached his beliefs that Germans were the superior race and that all other races were inferior to Germans. This caused the attack on anyone except Germans themselves. Germany had begun war with the world due to their feeling of superiority. This caused the change for the world in a sense.

After being named Chancellor, Hitler began what is known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust started on January 30, 1933 and lasted until May 8, 1945. The Holocaust was the mass murder of 6 million Jews (1.5 million of them being children). The Germans started burning the books that the Jews had written, removing Jews from their occupations and their schools, and taking their businesses and properties(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library). The Jews were forced from their houses to go to live in ghettos away from all society(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library).

The Holocaust took place during the years 1933 to 1945. It was an attempt to remove all of the Jews, and other smaller groups such as homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses, which lived in the country of Germany. The events that took place during the holocaust were lead by a German man named Adolf Hitler. Schindler's List is a film about the Holocaust from a man named Oskar Schindler's perspective as a leader of a concentration camp. The film displays the five stages of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust The word holocaust is derived from the Ancient Greek which means to slaughter/ sacrifice on a massive scale, especially by fire. However since 1945 it has a different definition; the mass murder of Jews and other racial minorities under the German Nazi regime. During the period of 1933- 1945 6 million Jews were killed, and about 5 million other racial minorities including Gypsies and Slavic people, as well as political minorities including Communists, Socialist and homosexuals.

During the Holocaust, The Jews suffered severely because of the Germans. The Holocaust took place in Eastern Europe and Germany from January 30th, 1933 to May 8, 1945. Hitler’s German Nazi army evacuated Jews from their homes and relocated them in the ghetto or labor camps. One man, Oskar Schindler was able to save 1,200 Jews by employing them in factories where they were protected from Germans.

What is the Holocaust? The word holocaust was historically used for burning on an alter. It now means the mass murder of 6 million Jews. The transportation to death camps started in late 1941. Survivors found it hard to return home after it ended and many struggled finding jobs and had health problems.

January 30, 1933 Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany (1). This was a turning point in Germany 's political system. Hitler had a very strong stance on what he perceived as the “perfect race”. He was a part of the Nationalist Socialist (Nazi) Party, and they believed that the Jews, Gypsies, the handicapped and any others that were deemed undesirable should not be a part of their society. When Hitler got into power he began the implementation of policies that were aimed at removing Jews and other people that didn’t fit his idea of a perfect race from Germany.

The Holocaust is a time in history when millions of people were persecuted in Europe by being sent to live in ghettos and eventually being deported to concentration camps where they were systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. The Ghettos were used to isolate Jews from society and make them feel like than out cast (Altman 14). Other reasons for moving the Jews to Ghettos are to control the population and to

I already despised what the Holocaust meant and the historical background of it. Every year in grade school, we remember the tragedy of the Holocaust but we never talk about why it was allowed to get as far as it got or why no one tried to stop the dehumanization of Jews. In someways, even though I despised what happened during WWII, I have developed the mentally “things happen.” This shouldn’t be the mentality of anyone because the only way to make sure that it doesn’t happen again is to be aware of what is going on. Things don’t just happen, we allow them to happen. My visit to this museum reminded me of all the horrors that happened to Jews was because because people allowed it to happen.

The Holocaust, the genocide of over six million Jews under the reign of Adolf Hitler; marked as a worldwide pivotal event. The holocaust was an event that most people would like to forget, but others choose to ignore or deny any event from the Holocaust. During some of the first months of the genocide, the public was misinformed about the whole situation of the “work camps”. Videos were made ensuring to the public (both German and Jews) that the concentration camps were safe, clean, and suitable as new homes for the captured Jews. Germany lied about the conditions to cover up that they were slaughterhouses. Through Hitler 's reign, he devised ways to hide the killing operation from the public; meaning no documentation or public statements. Many
