The Holocaust is one of the worst events in human history. HItler and his Nazi regime systematically exterminated 6 million Jewish people. In addition, almost 6 million Russians, Polish, Slavs, Gypsies, and others were killed.In total, almost 12 million people were killed in the concentration camps.
Code Named: Final solution, Hitler's plan to eliminate entire ethnic groups, was carried out in concentration camps. The cruelty is almost to great to describe, but it is important to remember this so it never happens again. When Hitler came to power, he did not announce his plans to kill millions of people, instead he made laws which systematically, step by step, blamed ethnic groups for Germany's problems and bad economic conditions. In this section we will study some disturbing issues, but this is part of history and it is important to understand what happened so perhaps we can prevent it in the future, or at least recognize the mindset that leads to such horror.
