The Holocaust...where do I start? Adolf Hitler and the Nazis ran multiple death camps throughout Germany. One of which was Auswitz. Thousands of Jews were killed in these camps one of which was Anne Frank. She hid with her family in the attic of her father's office. They were captured and only Otto Frank survived. The main reasons behind this extermination was Hitler's hate for all Jews and his belief of the Aryan race. He hated the Jews for two reasons; one, when his mother died, she was being taken care of by Jews and he believed that it was their fault she died, and two, the Jews at the Bank stopped funding for World War 1 so, again, he believed that it was their fault that Germany lost the war. As for the Aryan race, he believed the perfect race to be blond with blue eyes. For Pete's sake! He wasn't blond with Blue eyes! So, he built the concentration camps and deported Jews from Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and many other countries around Germany. Not all Jews made it when they got to the camps, some were killed right away; by gas chambers, mass shootings, etc. Many died of Starvation as well, but that was much later. Over Three million Jews were killed in the duration of the Holocaust. Only Two-hundred thousand survived.
The upper-most picture is of a map of Germany where the concentration/death camps lie. Many of these camps were put up and are still up in 2010 only not running. These camps are:
Auswitz/Birkenau
Treblinka
Chelmno
Sobibor
Majdanek
Belzec
Stutthof
and many more.
The United States didn't do nearly enough to stop the holocaust. We ignored the warnings and tried to pass them off as rumors; aiding the murder of over three million Jews. Well, that's all for now!
