Main Aspects of the Holocaust

This project looks back at many of the main aspects of the Holocaust.

On most topics I have focused in on one particular event or place

(like Auschwitz for the camps or Kristallnacht for the Nazi rise). I

did this as I think the Holocaust has to be looked upon on a more

personal and individual level to see how bad it was and you can't

really do this by simply over viewing a certain topic. I have chosen

to cover the main bog standard areas like camps, Ghettos etc. Because,

although it is slightly unoriginal, I knew little about them and

wanted to find something out. Also, I don't think people appreciate

just how bad some aspects (like the Ghettos) actually were. I didn't,

which was another reason why I choose to cover all the major topics.

all focused around the answer to the current German struggle. Most of

the parties opinions and main beliefs were similar as they focused
