What is the holocaust?
The organized and official mass murder of Jews
under the German Nazi government before and
during World War 2, from 1933 until 1945. The
Holocaust was a time of cruelty, destruction
and dishonesty. During the Holocaust the Nazis
also targeted homosexuals, Gypsies, nomads and
the disabled for torture. About 11,000,000
people were killed during the Holocaust.
6,000,000 of these were Jews.
In 1944 Auschwitz records its highest daily
number of people gassed and burned at just
over 9,000. People

Why did the holocaust happen?

Teenager s was sometimes selected for manual work at Auschwitz, but younger children often
were not. Children born in the camps were generally killed on the spot, especially if the
child was Jewish.
Children were mainly vulnerable in the era of the Holocaust. The Nazis backed killing
children of "unwanted" or "dangerous" groups in
accordance with their ideological views, either
as part of the "racial struggle" or as a measure
of preventive security. The Germans and their
collaborators killed children both for these
religious reasons and in retaliation for real or
alleged one-sided attacks
Who was affected?
The actual number of children who died during the Holocaust will never accurately be
known. Guesses range as high as 1.5
million, including more than 1.2 million
Jewish children. In addition, tens of
thousands of Gypsy children and thousands
of handicapped German, Polish French, and
Eastern European children were also
murdered while under Nazi rule. In 1933
Nazis passed a law allowing for forced
sterilization of those found to have genetic defects and passed another law allowing
beggars, the homeless, alcoholics and the unemployed to be sent to concentration camps.
HOW DID IT CHANGE THE WORLD?
For the 12 years that Germany was ruled by the Nazi Party, a central belief was that there
existed in society, certain people who were dangerous and needed to be eliminated for
German society to flourish and survive. Over time and locale, these people varied. They
included Gypsies, Poles, and Russians, but always and most centrally, the Jews. The Nazis
condemned the Jews to death and there was no escape. No action they might take, no change
in their behaviour or their beliefs, made the slightest difference regarding their death
warrant. At every stage of the war, the Germans used their military superiority to crush
and bully the Jews. Above all was the threat of massive reprisals. Hundreds were shot for
the resistance of a single person. Thousands of Nazis and their assistants combed the
cities and countryside of Europe
