The Holocaust

0/5 ( ratings)

The Holocaust was the result of Adolf Hitler’s "final solution," his grand campaign for the complete annihilation of the European Jews. The absolute horror perpetrated by the Nazis on Europe’s Jewish population was planned meticulously by Nazi leaders and carried out with force by the SS, a select military unit that also served as Hitler’s bodyguards. Jews were systematically conquered and stripped of all valuables, and then the Nazis began forced them into ghettos, where they continued to suffer until they could be transported to nearby death camps, the first of which was built at Chelmno in December 1941. In the best and most efficient application of Hitler’s "euthanasia program," Nazi leaders found that gas proved to be the most efficient and least expensive approach to killing large groups of people. In all, the camps killed more than 6,000,000 people in Poland, the USSR, Hungary, Romania, and Germany-Austria. Fiction and poetry will complement official documents. Readings will show the devastation of the Holocaust and its lifelong effect on those who survived. The organization is thematic. From Nextext Website Overview.
