The Holocaust was a time when many Jews and other "undesirables" lost their lives because of Hitler and the Nazis. The genocide lasted for twelve years, from 1933 to 1945, and about eleven million lives were lost durring this time. Even though the Holocaust is over, learning about it helps us understand how power can be abused. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian man who became Germany's chancellor in 1933. Before he became chancellor, he worked within the government of Germany and manipulated laws to put him in power and make what he was going to do legal. Hitler was able to motivate the people of Germany when they felt like the weakest country after World War I. Once he got the support of the people, he started convincing people that there were certian types of people causing their troubles and they must be eliminated. People at that time didn't know that the eleimination of specific kinds of people would lead to the Holocaust. The Holocaust targeted mainly Jews and also included gypsies, poles, the disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, non-Aryan people, and others. Camps were set up in conquered countries and treated the prisoners like slaves, forcing them to do work for the benifit of people supporting the Nazis. About 15 thousand camps were created durring this time, including labor camps, concentration camps, and extermination camps. Stereotypes about the targeted groups supported reasons to eliminate those specific types of people so that Germany could be a strong nation again. The events in the Holocaust were made legal so that people in from other countries wouldn't suspect that something horrible was going on in Germany, for a while. The Tripartiete Act, the agreement between Germany, Italy, and Japan to work together ... ... middle of paper ... ...om happening to them and their families. Learning about the Holocaust helps us see how we changed over the years because of those events and helps us understand how fortunate we are to be living in this time. As we studied the Holocaust, we learned how people were impacted by the Nazis and Germany's new laws. This event in history helped us to realize that forming wrong ideas about a group can lead to major problems in the end. It also teaches us that power can be abused and people will suffer if the problem isn't recognized durring its early stages. Studying about the Holocaust helps us learn that everyone is different and we must learn to accept each other's differences so that hate towards certian people will not cause the same event to happen again. Learning about the events in history helps us to take measures to prevent the worst things from happening again.
The Holocaust could be best described as the widespread genocide of over eleven million Jews and other undesirables throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945. It all began when Adolf Hitler, Germany's newest leader, enforced the Nuremburg Race Laws. These laws discriminated against Jews and other undesirables and segregated them from the rest of the population. As things grew worse, Jews were forced to wear the Star of David on their clothing. The laws even stripped them of their citizenship.
The Holocaust was the time period when Adolf Hitler was in control of the territory of Germany and wanted the extinction of the Jews. The Holocaust was a very vigorous on the Jews because they were treated the worst and had the worst living conditions. The Holocaust derived the Jews of their wealth, and little bit of humanity that they held dear to themselves. Adolf Hitler established laws to make it basically illegal to be a Jew in Germany. Since Adolf Hitler was in power he commanded that all Jews properties and valuables be taken. For example, in the book “Maus” it states, “He had to sell his business to a German and run out from the country without even the money.”(
The Holocaust was a very sad time in the world. Holocaust was the killing of millions of Jews and other people by the Nazis during World War II. The Nazi who was an army, very powerful and claim control of Germany in January 1933. Their beliefs were that the Germans were the ‘’superior race’’ and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community.
Hitler was superb at convincing people to believe everything he said. He promised the people a roast in every pot, security, and many more things. By promising the people security that meant that he would keep them all safe and that he can do a better job than anyone else. Adolf Hitler increased in support from bankers and industrialists. So, pretty much he had most of the people who had higher power on his side durning this time period. The the united States stock market crasedd in October 1929 unemployment in Germany quickly rose to over six million. This opened another window for Hitler to get more peoplewho thought that they had nothing and their life was over to side with him. President Hindenburg did not want for Hitler to become the chancellor so instead he appointed Von Pappen but, Adolf Hitler did not agree nor did the Nazi's. hitler eventually did become the chancellor on January 30th, 1933 Hitler then banned all political parties. In 1934 the president died and Adolf Hitler forced his way into power. Now that he was the president he can change anyhting that he wants.
Adolf Hitler was a Nazi German Leader who attempted genocide and was part of one of the worst wars, WWII. Hitler took up the role of initiating the Holocaust which ended up In the death of numerous Jews.
The Holocaust occurred from 1933 to 1945. The National Socialist (Nazi) party was in power in Germany. During the Holocaust, over 6 million Jews were killed! Nazis adipted a policy called the “Final Solution”. It’s goal was to kill all Jews in Europe. By the time the Nazis were defeated in 1945 they had killed over 6 million Jews. The Nazi’s also murdered homosexuals, disabled people, and people with different political views.
The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million people of innocent Jewish decent by the Nazi government. The Holocaust was a very tragic time in history due to the idealism that people were taken from their surroundings, persecuted and murdered due to the belief that German Nazi’s were superior to Jews.

The Holocaust was a tragic piece of the worlds history. It happened from 1933 to 1945, and it was a mass killing and discrimination against people of certain races. They started with the Nuremberg Laws when Hitler became the most powerful. Hitler was a strange man who blamed Jews for the fall of Germany. There are several reasons as to why we study the Holocaust, the most important is so we never face something like this again.
The Holocaust was an terrible event that happened from 1933 to 1945. Approximately eleven million people were killed by the Nazis. A genocidal policy was passed by Adolf Hitler after he became the leader of Germany in 1933. His goal was to get rid of all the Jews in Europe and those who are considered in his "undesirable" list. As countries such as Italy, Japan, and Austria units with Germany and became the Axis Powers, they started invading and taking over other countries around them in Europe. I believe there are reasons that can explain why we still study about the Holocaust today.
Adolf Hitler had a very difficult childhood and did not have a good relationship with his dad. He had many losses in his life. For the years that he was homeless in Vienna it was at this time where he developed his hatred for Jews and started going to meetings about that and started to believe that Jews were the cause of everything that has happened around the Germany. During the World War I time he wanted to sign up and be in the army. But instead he was just a messenger for the World.
The Holocaust was an event that killed many and affected all. The people were viciously murdered, beaten, and starved. They were moved to ghettos, then to concentration camps and finally liberated. The Holocaust was the persecution of 6 million Jews and millions of others forced to live in ghettos, deported to camps, and systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors.

The Holocaust was the great plan to make Jews to become instinct and other people that Hitler considered inferior to him. Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in Germany led this great plan from 1933 to 1945. Approximately twelve million people had their lives taken, half being Jews. Everything changed and became impacted all around the world when Hitler took over Germany, he had a strong prejudice against the Jews. His goal was to create the perfect race of human, blonde hair, blue eyed Germans. The soldiers in Hitler’s camp was his followers, the Nazis, which did all of his dirty work for him. There were also many other people that contributed to his massive event. There became different clans and groups of people going out on their own and doing the killing also, not only Jews. For example, the doctors that ran test on people and experimented on the people didn’t care about their patients wellbeing or health
We learn about The Holocaust so history does not repeat itself. Nobody wants to be in a group of people or race or religion that society does not want or like. Everybody is the same in some way, but they are also different; and people should repsect that. Just because they are different does not mean they should be blamed or singled out either. We, as the United States, try to prevent something like segregation, The Hololcaust, or wars from happening again because it is the right thing to do and people want to live their normal life. We learn about The Holocaust so we can learn to treat other people with repsect.
So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know of Adolf Hitler's madness or know about a large part of World War II? I believe it is to know how to recognize and stop something like the Holocaust from ever happening again. It is like Edmund Burke said, "All tyrany needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." The Holocaust gained it's foodhold because we didn't know what was happening so we remained silent. A lot of the suffering and pain could've been prevented if we had simply realized what was going on. Another one of Edmund's quotes is that, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." That is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past.

The other existing parties at the time were intimidated and disbanded giving Hitler the power he was craving (Wikipedia ).
