The Holocaust was a very sad time for millions of people in Europe and the United States. The leader of the Holocaust was Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was in prison for trying to take over the German government, and while he was there, he wrote a book. The book was called "Mein Kaumf", which described his struggle and how he believed the German government should be run. After Hitler came out of his short prison sentence, many people had already read his book which created his power. Hitler believed that the Jews were the main problem in all the struggles and the fall of Germany. In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws were created. The Nuremberg Laws virtually deprived Jews of their citizenship. In 1936, the Nuremberg Laws were slowed down because of the Olympic Games taking place in Berlin. The reason they slowed down was because with all the people there to watch the games, Germany wanted to appear strong and he also wanted to give false hope to the Jews. Once the Holocaust started to get worse, the Nazis were going to stop them. any Jew or any other person on the “undesirable list”. The list included Jews, communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, blacks and a few others. The Nazis could tell you were Jewish by your last name. They might also look at your birth certificate. When a Jewish person or anyone else on the “undesirable list” was arrested, they would take you to a prison camp or even shoot you on the spot. When you were in a camp, depending on your age and health, what happened to you was determined. In some camps, they made prisoners work on plantations, much like slavery in the American South during the Civil War. Moreover, in some camps, as soon as people arrived, they took them directly to the gas chamber and ...... middle of paper ...... 1945. All this is information about the he horror of the Holocaust which was caused primarily by one person. When we learn about the Holocaust, it teaches us tolerance. The world we live in today is very diverse and no two people are the same. You cannot judge people by their beliefs or the color of their skin and that is why acne tolerance must be taught. Another reason we learn more about the Holocaust is because it teaches us not to act like the Nazis and not to believe in what the Nazis believed. By the end of the Holocaust, there were over 15,000 camps used by the Nazis and over eleven million Jews and people on the undesirable list were killed. In conclusion, if we learned nothing from the Holocaust, we might simply forget the innocent lives lost and then, perhaps, something like the Holocaust might happen again..
