The Holocaust will always be remembered for its brutality and extremity. If we would like to never repeat this event, we must always keep it in the back of our minds. “Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” - Primo levi

The holocaust occurred during 1933 - 1945. When Hitler was declared chancellor of Germany, he targeted the Jews to create a common enemy. People hated the Jews because everybody else they knew hated the Jewish. |

Jews were forced to move out of the ghettos and into the camps. These camps would hold thousands of Jews, and they were all put to work. They also were slaughterhouses and experimented with several different techniques to murder someone. The most notorious camp was Auschwitz, it housed over 1.3 million Jews and out of those, 1.1 million were killed. |
cKilling Methods
6,000,000 Jews were killed because Germans believed that they were, “racially superior”. The ways in which this mass murdering occurred included, burning, famine and gassing. These just scrape the service of the numerous amount of ways Jews were murdered. |
