The country was in need of a miracle worker. Before going…

the future.? Is that what our country wants? Hitler?s idea of safe was rounding up countless millions of innocent people and slaughtering them just because of their religion and race.

He knew that after he had full registration of guns he could get by with the horrible atrocities that he got by with and not have to worry about any retaliation from his governed people because they had…

The Atrocities of the Holocaust The Holocaust was the systematic killing of people of Jewish culture. That does not mean that everyone else was safe. They also targeted homosexuals, the mentally ill, gypsies (people of Romanian culture) slavic people (Polish and Lithuanians) and communists. There were many people the Nazi party targeted. The word Holocaust comes from two greek words, holos (whole) and kaustos (burned) (Holocaust encyclopedia). In early 1933, the Jewish…

The Jewish Holocaust was not only a horrific event, it was one that will always be remembered. One brave man, Oskar Schindler, did as much as he could to save the Jewish people of Krakow from the misery of the Nazis.

Hitler was an exceptional leader; he had the people rallying…
