known genocide durning World War II. Jews, gays, and disabled people where often the ones
placed in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany. Some may try to deny history, saying that
the Holocaust never happened, but there is hard evidence, as well as many survivors, that prove

died. The most well known group that was discriminated and persecuted were the Jewish people.

The man to cause this horrific
massacre was Adolf Hitler. He had a normal childhood growing up in Vienna and he intended on

The Government slowly takes away the dignity and freedoms of a certain people. Fortunately
because of history people are aware that this could cause the next major discrimination. Many
people are ready to fight the government by registering even if they are not muslim, but register
just to mess up the system. General Otto Ernst Remer “He was one of the co-founders of
