The Holocaust was the systematic killing of jews and people deemed inferior by the Nazi Party. Hitler created a description of a "master race" that was limited to people who were pale, tall, had blonde hair and blue eyes. Anyone who didn't match this description was seen as a threat to his "master race". The word ‘holocaust’ is a Greek word meaning sacrifice by fire. The holocaust lasted from 1941-1945.

The Holocaust happened because nationalism was on the rise. The Nazi party was gaining popularity, and the Germans were looking for a strong leader to solve their problems. They found this strong leader in Adolf Hitler. Hitler's goal was to purge Germany of impurities. He blamed the jewish people for losing World War I and spread this misinformation throughout Germany.

Jews were targeted because they didn’t align with Hitler’s image of the “master race”. They were not often blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler was also against the jewish religion. He blamed them for all of Germany’s problems. Around 6 million jews were killed.

Germans who were brave enough to disagree with the Nazi ideas would do different things to try to help those in danger. These people would help smuggle jews out of Germany or hide them in their own homes. If either of these actions were discovered, they would be killed.

The holocaust affected Jewish, political opponents, homosexuals, the disabled, and anyone who did not match the Nazi's image of perfection. Anyone who spoke up against the holocaust or against the Nazi party was forced into concentration camps themselves even if they were part of the "master race". 200,000 Roma and 200,000 disabled were also killed.

Concentration camps were crowded shelters filled with dirty, smelly people. They were forced to live, work, and sleep in the same thin and lice-filled clothing. They were fed thin soup and sometimes scraps of bread, but starvation was common. The prisoners would be shot or tortured for working too slow or the least offense.

A concentration camp was where prisoners of war or other enemies were held over a period of time to work or just be held. An extermination camp was a place where they were put to death. Both concentration camps and extermination camps often ended in death. About six million Jews died in the concentration camps

Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp and such a big part of Hitler’s final solution. Around 1.5 million people were murdered in Auschwitz alone. The life expectancy in Auschwitz for the average person was around 3 weeks. Many were worked or starved to death while others were shot, burned, or died by poisonous gas.
