It was led by Hitler, who was the leader of Germany at the time. This was during World War II and over 6 million European Jews were killed.]]> 2022-03-17 18:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100597881 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100605831 There were 4 main steps of what Hitler would do with Jewish people. The first step was emigration, which was when he would force Jews to leave and go to another country. The second step was isolating them from the rest of society and leaving them only to be with each other. The third step was putting Jewish people into Concentration Camps, which they would be forced to work and not be fed enough. The fourth and final step was the final solution, also known as killing groups of Jewish people at a time. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:21:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100605831 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100618961 Concentration camps were a place where they would keep Jewish people until they were killed and where they were killed. On these camps, Jewish people were forced into doing hard labor for the government and anything that was useful for the Nazis. Towards the end of World War II, there were over 40,000 camps spread throughout Europe and some even led into Greece and North Africa. In the camps, there was a system with Jewish people who were of higher class got more tolerable work assignments, while Jews of lower class were forced into the harder jobs. So, even in concentration camps, your social class was still important.]]> 2022-03-17 18:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100618961 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100627644 The main reason was antisemitism. Even before Hitler, in Europe Jewish people were not particularly liked. With Christians being the most populated religion, they believed that Jewish people were going against God. Some Jewish people were even forced to convert during this time and not allowed to practice their religion. Although another reason for Hitler's hatred for Jews was because he believed that Jews went against Germany during World War I and were responsible for Germany losing in the war. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100627644 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100633222 The Holocaust went on from 1941-1945, and it ended by the Nazis being defeated by the Soviet military. US, British, and Canadian troops also helped free prisoners and helped them get the medical help they needed.]]> 2022-03-17 18:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100633222 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100640009 In Europe, it was very known what was happening. Nazis had control of the German press and were not trying to hide their hatred for Jews. Countries such as America had heard stories of what was happening to Jews in Europe, but since they were so violent most people chose to believe that they weren't true. During this time, many countries were also too involved in the economic depression that many of them were facing.]]> 2022-03-17 18:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100640009 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100643626 No, Nazis also went after people with disabilities, some Slavic people, homosexuals, and black people. Hitler's goal during the Holocaust was to have the "master race" and this included eliminating all of the people listed above.]]> 2022-03-17 18:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100643626 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100646599 The original Greek meaning of the word is "sacrifice by fire", but later on it's more known as "a complete or wholesale destruction". ]]> 2022-03-17 18:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100646599 25lucks https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100656192 When the Holocaust happened, Germany was in a vulnerable place. It was after World War I and Germany was in a low place. Germans were unhappy and facing a big economic depression, like many other countries. So when Hitler came to them with these plans of making Germany this powerful country again, they believed him. They needed some sort of stability and Hitler lied to them and said that he could provide that for them. ]]> 2022-03-17 18:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/25lucks/u223xjr2uo3krsz7/wish/2100656192
