The Holocaust

In this wiki I will be talking about the Holocaust. I will also be tackling some very important sections in the Holocaust, like kids, gas chambers, soldiers, and most importantly Hitler. The Holocaust was never a good time, it was in the years 1932-1945. Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Germans, was a dictator, who is a person that has too much power at one time. He had so much power he could take over the Jews and that's what he did. Hitler thought that the German race was pure or superior to the Jews and many others.

**Kids**

In trying to keep the German race "pure," Heinrich Himmler began a program called "Lebensborn," Spring of Life, or kids being born. This program helped German women who were the Aryan profile, or German woman, to have children with SS officers, who were basically guards in concentration camps. The kids were born in homes made specifically for this project. These homes were designed for the mothers to have their children, but they later moved into places for women to meet SS officers who were to become fathers.

One part of Lebensborn included the kidnapping of children from other countries who fit the spot of pure German and changing them into Nazis. Many of the kidnapped children did not survive this trip because after medical examinations they were determined to be not pure. As a result, these children were killed. It was thought that only ten percent of the kidnapped children were sent back with their families following the war.

**Gas Chambers** []  Gas chambers were the worst way to die. They were made to look like regular run down showers

When the people who were kept here just thought they were taking a regular shower. But what they were getting was a special twist in there somewhat good soak of dirty water.

**Jews** In January 1933, about 522,000 Jews lived in Germany. Over half of these people, about 304,000 Jews, emigrated during the first six years of the Nazi dictatorship, leacing only about 214,00 Jews in Germany before World War II.

Hitler



 [] This is a picture of Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of the nazis. Adolf Hitler was born on April 20th, 1889. Adolf thought that the jews were lazy and to blame for everything Hitler did not like. Modern art was one of them. He also blamed the jews for loosing the first World War. Adolf was mad about how jews were controlling the biggest political party in Germany, the German Socail Democrat Party. Hitler also hated that the jews ran many of the top companies and some newspapers. Adolf Hitler thought that the germans were supirior to the jews. Hitler killed himself, he killed himself because he was going to be exicuted anyway, so on April 30, 1945 Hitler was dead.
