Liberation was a sign of the end of war. Liberation occurred in late 1944 to early 1945, just before the end of World War 2. Soviet Forces were the first to reach Nazi camps in July of 1944, those camps were Majdanek and Poland (Liberation of Nazi Camps). America liberated multiple camps in April of 1945 (Rice 88). Russia liberated many camps as well in January of 1945 (Rice 88).
The Holocaust occurred in Europe in the early 1940’s (Altman 1). Constructed by Adolf Hitler, Germany’s first and only Führer, the Holocaust is a horrible event (Introduction). Jewish people were treated in cruel and brutal ways. Over six million died in concentration camps, ghettos, or death marches (Rice 11). 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 Holocaust was a tragic event that took place from 1941 to around 1945. Adolf Hitler was behind the movement of persecution of the Jewish race. More than six million Jews were murdered in this awful event. The place where these tragic events took place were Concentration Camps. Unsafe and unhealthy conditions for anyone to live in but they were forced there against will.
The Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by Nazi Germany in Poland during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I, II, III and fortyfive satellite camps. The camp was staffed by 7,000 members of the German Schutzstaffel. Twelve percent were later convicted of war crimes and some were executed. Auschwitz I was the original concentration camp.
The Holocaust is the murdering of 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews. “Holocaust“ in Greek means to “sacrifice by fire,” which the Nazis did in Crematories inside the camps. The Nazis targeted many people other than just the Jews. The main groups of people targeted by the Nazis were the Roma (Gypsies), the disabled, Slavic people, such as Poles and Russians, communists, socialists, Jehovah’s Witness, and homosexuals (Introduction). The Nazis were taking over all of Europe, but they never invade past the borders of Europe.
The Holocaust is a horrifying subject that started in the early 1940’s and mid-WWII. The Holocaust was formed by Adolf Hitler (Allen 5). He directed a team of people called Nazis to build the concentration camps (Allen 5). The Nazis killed many people during the Holocaust including Jewish men, women, and children. It all started with one camp called Auschwitz where many people died including author and holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel’s family.
Some people had excruciating “medical” experiments carried out on them. The stories of what happened in the Auschwitz camps are very saddening. The liberation of the camps were just as bad. People were put on trains and they froze or starved to death. All this happened because Adolf Hitler decided to blame the loss of a war on people who really had no part of it.
The Holocaust Before the event of the Holocaust, there was 9 million Jews in Europe (Introduction). After, there were 6 million of them dead because of the Nazi party (Yeatts 7). This was all part of the plan to kill Jews using the “Final Solution” all across Europe. The Holocaust took place from 1933-1945 all across Europe in a quest to kill Jews and other groups of people (Steele 6). The people involved in this mass murder are Hitler (chancellor of Germany), Hermann Goering (commander of the air force) and Joachin von Ribbentrop, minister of Foreign Affairs (Yeatts 38).
When The Nazi’s took power in 1933 they thought that they were racially superior and Jewish people weren’t (Introduction To The Holocaust). During World War II, Killing Centers were primarily created for the mass murder of undesirable humans throughout Europe. Killing centers were created when The Nazi’s realized they would need a faster way of killing Jews in larger quantities. One of the first killing
Like many genocides the Holocaust was one of the worst recorded in history. The Holocaust happened during World War II when Hitler became the leader of Germany in 1933. The War was mostly present in Europe, East Asia or the Pacific Islands but the Holocaust, which was a genocide of Jews, took place in Europe. Nazi’s and SS officers would storm the houses of Jews and move them into ghettos eventually ending up in a concentration camp. Some would die on their way there but mostly all the deaths occured in the camps.
