The Holocaust occurred between 1933 and 1945. The very definition of “burnt offering” is a Jewish sacrificial offering that is burned on an altar. The definition has now been changed to describe the massacre of six million Jews during World War II. The leader of these massacres was Adolf Hitler. His perfect race ideologies were considered reason enough to murder millions of human beings. How is it that massacres took place on such a scale? Concentration camps. Jews and other imperfect Aryans (homosexuals, gypsies, and disabled) were transported to “work” camps. Here, crematoriums, gas chambers and shootings awaited them. If you passed your first visit, you had to work in grueling conditions throughout the process. There were between 70 and 100 people in a car. They were so tight that there was no room to sit, or even move. They were trapped in darkness, with no idea where they were going or what would happen to them. An officer threw out a bucket that Jews were supposed to use as a container for human excrement. They traveled like this for days. They were hungry, thirsty and suffocated. When they reached the camps, they were unloaded from the cattle tracks. They were separated into men and women, the children remaining with their mothers. After being “recorded,” the process of dehumanization began. Each individual had to undress and shave all their hair. They had their own clothes taken off them and put in striped uniforms. This process was intended to ensure the dignity of Jews and their personal identity was taken away from them. If you were admitted to the Auschwitz camp, it was likely that you would have a tattoo of a serial number. These tattoos were only issued to prisoners who were going to work. People heading straight for extermination didn't need to be followed
