Dr. Josef Mengele was responsible for performing experiments on victims in death camps. Once they were experimented on, they were killed in gas chambers. One of the most notable experiments he did was sewing together a set of twins who were 4 years old. He was trying to see if he can create Siamese twins but, the parents of the twins killed them to end their suffering.

in the gas chambers that the gas entered in lower layers, meaning the air higher up was the cleanest which forced the victims to climb and trample on each other to breathe in attempt of survival. This was mainly an issue because on the entrances to the gas chambers, signs read "Cleanliness brings freedom" or "Baths and disinfecting rooms" 6,000 people could be killed in a day from gas chambers because they only took 20 minutes to work

discrimination is the third step to genocide and in the Holocaust was one of the most important ones. Jews were discriminated the most and were not only taken, harmed and separated from their families, but they were stripped of their citizenship as Germans and were not allowed to work. They were discriminated against not only as jews, but also by the color of their hair and the color of their eyes. Blonde hair and blue eyes was the ideal look and if you weren't the perfect shade of blonde and blue you were discriminated against.

# data[].attributes.body
In preparation for finding and killing the Jews in Germany, Hitler took over Germany,  searched for names in the synagogue, and gave out stars for the Jews to wear. Since all the Jews were wearing stars, it made it easier for them to be identified and killed.

denial is the final stage in the process of genocide. This happens when the evidence is going away or the issue is being blamed on the victims. For example, bodies were burned to nothing in mass crematoriums and thrown in mass graves. The facts and images were still known of and survivors lived to tell their stories, but the denial of the genocide as a whole was still a process

# data[].attributes.body
The second step to genocide is to symbolize the "them", or the people who don't belong, so they stand out. The Nazis marked anyone Jewish with a yellow star. It must be sewn on to their clothes at all times. The law prevented them from taking it off. Homosexuals, gypsies, and others had to wear extra patches on their clothing. The Nazi's symbol was a Swastika. They wore it with pride while the Jews felt embarrassed and ashamed because of their patches.

extermination took place when the people were being killed in mass numbers, which is genocide. But in the Holocaust, the people were seen as not human so it was extermination. This can be done by removing the hair, food, clothes, personal belongings and loved ones from those who are being put in the camps. This made them seen as not human, so then they could be killed in mas killings from gasses, cremation and harsh conditions. And that's exactly what happened

The Nazis had a lot of propaganda. They blamed Jews for the problems in the world, and said that Jews must be excluded from society and schools. They used propaganda such as films, posters, and dramas to show a bad image of the Jews. Also, the German civilians who supported Jews were threatened.

Persecution is the act of mistreating people based on their ethnicity or race. Examples of persecution in the Holocaust were when Jews were banned from having health insurance,  weren't allowed to be  German citizens, not allowed to have a relationship with non- Jews, banned from all professional jobs, and banned from working any political or governmental job.

# data[].attributes.body
The Nazis organized the genocide. There was an army which was led by the tyrant Adolf Hitler. They had organized concentration camps where the Nazis would separate the victims by gender and force them to work or sentence them to death. Also, the Nazis would find lists of all the Jews in the synagogues so they would know who was a Jew or not. The people who were on the lists (Jews) were persecuted , some were even sent to concentration camps.

# data[].attributes.body
The Nazi government named Jews an “inferior race.” Many basic human rights were removed and the Nuremberg laws were put into place. They boycotted Jewish businesses, and made laws preventing Christians from marrying Jews. They also did not allow Jews to move around the country and made curfews for Jews. Also, the Nazis would burn synagogues and destroy buildings owned by Jews. The star, as said before was used to show who was Jew, the people who wore the stars were not treated as well as others and were considered inferior to others.

The first step to genocide is to classify "us" and "them". There must be a tyrant and an enemy. In the Holocaust, the "us" were the Germans/Christians. The "them" or enemy were the Jews. The Nazis also killed Gypsies, twins, people with mental illness, homosexuals, and priests. The ideal person had blonde hair and blue eyes.
