The Holocaust was the result of a long hatred, towards the Jews.
It all started when the rumors and racist remarks taught and learnt through generation. There was no big reason in this it was just a little misunderstanding. Racism happened for years but no-one has put an end to it, because it still occurs today and it will in the future. Its all happening due to; discrimination, abusive and aggressive behavior towards people who belong to a different religion or race. This issue can happen any where and at any place.
When the Holocaust started in January 30, 1933 - when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany - to May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe officially ended. During this time, Jews in Europe were subjected to persecution that ultimately led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews (1.5 million of these being children) and the destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities two-thirds of European Jewry and one-third of all worlds Jewry. Soon after he became chancellor, Hitler called for new elections in an effort to get full control of the German parliament, for the Nazis. The Nazis used the government to terrorize the other parties.
They arrested their leaders and banned their political meetings. By the end of 1934 Hitler was in absolute control of Germany, and his campaign against the Jews in full swing.Jews never knew what was going to happen, until they were gassed and getting told from one of the army soldiers that they were going to large rooms full of showers. The racism between he two countries continued for century’s but no-one stopped it not even Hitler because he just wanted to make the Germans hate the Jews so much that he told the Germans that the Jews are saying horrible stuff and they want cause a huge fight.
If it weren’t for racism this issue would have never of happened.Millions of Jews would have live there lives. But it was so bad that many Jews attempted to flee Germany, and thousands succeeded by immigrating to such countries as Belgium, Czechoslovakia, England, France and Holland. It was much more difficult to get out of Europe.
Jews encountered stiff immigration quotas in most of the world's countries. Even if they obtained the necessary documents, they often had to wait months or years before leaving. The Jewish population later aided the Nazis in their deportation of the Jews to the death camps. The ghettos lacked the necessary food, water, space, and sanitary facilities required by so many people living within their constricted boundaries. Many died of deprivation and starvation. The laws were they weren't allowed to marry and had to go along with any hate protests that arose against them.
In the last months of Hitler’s Reich, as the German armies retreated, the Nazis began marching the prisoners still alive in the concentration camps to the territory they still controlled. The Germans forced the starving and sick Jews to walk hundreds of miles. Most died or were shot along the way. About a quarter of a million Jews died on the death marches. At the end of the war, between 50,000 and 100,000 Jewish survivors were living in three zones of occupation: American, British and Soviet. Within a year, that figure grew to about 200,000.
The American zone of occupation contained more than 90 percent of the Jewish.I think from my own opinion the holocaust should have of never happened. But I have chosen this topic because it seems very interesting because it’s something that people want to know especially when Hitler is involved. From what I can see the holocaust has a big impact on history with a number of people dieing back in 1990, also it shows how people could be so cruel to one another.
