Holocaust

Holocaust
We’ve all read or seen the history of the holocaust in Germany during World War 2, rather you are Jewish or catholic, black or white, no matter what your religion or race may be these images would have a profound effect on you. I remember reading about the holocaust when I was in elementary school, I remember it being the saddest images I’ve ever seen and the stories of the scientific experiments that were conducted on children as well as grownups we stuff I’ve only seen in scary movies, this was not something I could imagine would ever happen in real life.
The holocaust was a ongoing development started by Adolf Hitler, who after taking over the presidency from the aged president Hindenburg, started slowly taking away the democratic human rights of the people, starting with freedom of the press, speech and the right to assemble. He also implemented his own private army around Germany that was loyal to only him and was willing to do anything he asked, called the Gestapo or storm troopers, these SS police would murder any of Hitler’s political oppositions, those oppositions submit all power to Hitler’s regime, which gave Hitler complete power of Germany.
During the 1930’s Hitler started practicing his racist ideologies, which was told that Germans were superior to all other races, he saw the Jews, gypsies and other races as inferior. With the German people sharing in his propaganda he then set his plan into action, he started blaming all of Germany’s economical problems on the Jews and gypsies, he then passed a law to force Jews to leave their civil service jobs and limit their citizenships which really limit their worth in German society, much like the way the Africans were treated in the united states, when you can view a person as less than human it becomes easier to mistreat them and not feel any remorse at all. Once the courts stripped Jews of their citizenships they were then started to be rounded to concentration camps and then executed and burned and buried in huge holes, nearly six millions Jews were reported killed in those concentration camps.
There are those people who would like to believe the holocaust was an actual event, even with the survivors of the concentration camps’ testimonies and the evidence of the tattoos they had to wear to mark them as Jewish and which concentration camps they belonged to. The diary of Ann Frank was a firsthand encounter of brutality of the times.
