Holocaust

The Holocaust was the mas destruction and murder of all Jews and their community by the Nazis. The Nazis killed the Jews because they felt the Jews were inferior and all Nazis were superior. Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats to blame the loss of World War 1 on.

The Jews were treated very badly and many evil deeds were done to them such as;

• Jews were randomly killed (gassed, burned, shot, beat)
• Jews were put in little camps(ghettos) with no food or water.
• Nazis seized the Jews possessions.
• The Jews had to identify themselves with a star of David on their jackets.
• The Jews were put to work as slaves.
• Jews were given a curfew.
• All Jews that tried to escape and did not have IDs were killed.

It was very common seeing dead bodies on the streets.

Due to the lack of food many Jews became very skinny. Also very few had clothes.

At the sight of the American soldiers the Jews were very happy



Many Jews took place in mass executions.
