The Holocaust

          The Holocaust, the mass destruction of the Jews by the Nazi party. They used many methods of torture, and even resorted to moving them to concentration camps, where many were killed. The Nazi's decided to do this, because they wanted to use the Jews as a scapegoat for their failures during World War I.
          As Hitler came to power, he made the Germans believe that the Jews were an inferior race, and that they should be eradicated. He wrote his "Mein Kampf" which thus became the bible for the Nazi party. With all these events coming into play, the Nazi party grew stronger and soon overpowered the Jews, and killed a vast amount of them.

Some of the things that the Nazis did to the Jews were:

(WARNING : Some of these pictures may be graphic for some viewers.)

2. The Nazis also forced Jews onto trains, where they packed about 60 people to a cart where as the normal capacity would only be about 10 people to a cart. As they were being transported, many died along the way.

3. The Nazis did whatever they wanted, they hit and forced the Jews to do stupid and irrelevant things. They made them dance, and if they wanted to, the Nazis shot and killed the Jews on sight.

4. Jews were unable to roam around towns,and even public places. the Nazis order the Jews to only have $2000, and no more that that.

5. Jews were evacuated forcefully and moved to concentration camps where many lives perished.

6. As the Jews were in the concentration camps, the Nazis starved them. Many ended up dying due to starvation and by numerous diseases.

7. The Nazis were so determined to harass and torture the Jews in anyway possible, they even stole their belongings. In this picture, it shows a great multitude of rings that were taken from the Jews.
