During the holocaust approximately 11 million people died in the Nazi death camps. The horrible impact of the holocaust still impacts us today. The holocaust began January 30, 1933 and ended on May 8, 1945. The Nazi army had belief that they were superior. They were ruled and lead by Adolf Hitler, their biggest camp was Auschwitz which was located in Poland. There are many sources that talk about the holocaust. One source is the book Night by Elie Wiesel and it focused on his personal experience.

In that event he thought for a second and figured out that they throwing them in the fire pits because they were useless. Also in Auschwitz Death Camp Wiesel tells Oprah about the fire pits and how the mother and children were put in the crematorium and then got killed by a special gas ,"Shh don’t yell, they can hear us talking, they are still here... This is where the cemetery was located" (Wimfrey). Wiesel tells Winfrey to not talk loud because Wiesel believes that the person that died during the holocaust can still hear them and that they will be disrespected. Later in the interview Wiesel show, Winfrey where the fire pits were located and later shows Winfrey the crematorium. They are both similar because they have a good emotional effect. They also talk about the same ideas about Auschwitz and what went on during the
