The+Holocaust







THE HOLOCAUST... After World War one Germany was one of the poorest countries in the world. Most of the country lived in poverty. In 1933, Adolf Hitler started speaking out around the country saying how he would change evrything and make it better. The Germans had no other choice but to listen and go along with what he was saying. Even though he was a serial murderer the Germans needed help and they thought he was the man to get them out of poverty. He then became very powerful throughout Germany, and the Germans listened to Hitler because they thought he spoke truthfully and intelligently. Hitler wanted to start a race called Arion race. He wanted poeple to have blonde hair and blue eyes. So he wiped out everyone who stood in his way. That is why he wanted the Jews gone; it still did not give him a reason to wipe out alomost a whole new race. The Holocaust will always be remembered and has gone down in history as the biggest massacare to happen during a World War.
