The Holocaust was a scary, depressing, and unforgettable time in Europe and all around the world, late 1938. Nazi Germany was the cause of the Holocaust and the ones running the show. They set up concentration camps all around Germany where they could torture Jews, homosexuals, criminals, politicians, and others of a different belief or those who opposed of Hitler. Thank goodness not everyone was brainwashed into the idea of trying to destroy a human race. Britain, the United States, The Soviet Union, and France tried to take down Hitler before all of Europe was suffering from the consequences. In the meantime, it was mainly the Jewish race that did the suffering. Germany government agreed to this act because Hitler was the only person making sense since World War One and the Treaty of Versailles, therefore the people followed. Other countries and nations were not aware of the Holocaust and what Hitler was doing inside Germany. As a result, the League of Nations, or the government trying to keep peace could not do anything about it. Unfortunately, for those who did know they could not do anything about it. It was an act of National Sovereignty meaning that Germans could do whatever they wanted as long as it was in their own boarders. The only way the countries could stop this craziness was to invade Germany. While most countries were on their way to invasion many Jews were interrogated and imprisoned like the Germans were later on after the Nuremberg Trails. However, more than half were put into concentration camps where they were starved to death or worked to death. The sick ideas of one man cost us about eleven million lives and if we had not stopped it, it could have been millions more.

Adolf Hitler is shown above wearing the symbol of the Nazi’s, the swastika, as an armband. The idea of the swastika was taken from the Native Americans to represent Nazi’s symbolism. It was suppose to symbolize a person running which showed Germany’s progress to take over Europe.
