Soon after Hitler came to

power he unleashed his

hatred towards the Jews. The
first Action taken to show
this was by banishing Jews
from government jobs and
the Nuremburg Laws were
passed in 1935 which took
away many common rights
of the Jews.

Not long after their rights

were taken the Jews were
deported to Ghettos were
they would be separated
from the rest of society.
 Jews were forced to live
under miserable conditions
in the Ghettos. There were
at least 1,000 Ghettos
established during World
War II. These Ghettos were
just a place to store the Jews
until Hitler decided how to
get rid of their population.

When the “Final Solution”

came into existence all the
Jews in the Ghettos were
murdered in killing centers.
The few that were left alive
got deported into
concentration camps.
Many concentration camps were
established, but probably the most
well known was Auschwitz. It was the
largest and consisted of three main
camps. Prisoners that included Jews,
polish, homosexuals, blacks and
mentally & physically challenged were
all sent here and put to work. Many of
the weak were killed right away, to
survive you had to be strong.
When looking back on the
Holocaust there is no way
you could forget about the
children and what they
went through. Children
went through losing their
families, starving,
confusion and medical
experiments.

Children were viewed as useless

when it came to working in the
concentration camps so they
were either killed or used in
medical experiments and
sometimes died during these
experiments.
Joseph Mengele was the lead doctor taking part in the
medical experiments at Auschwitz. He was often referred to
as the “Angel of Death” because of his cruel and unusual
experiments that often lead to death of the patients. He
liked to use children a lot in his experiments, sadly the
children had a slim chance of survival. After the war he was
never found, but is thought to have suffered a massive
stroke while swimming in the ocean and drowned.
Hitler was
found dead
with a
gunshot to
his right
temple
along with
Eva Braun
who was
also dead
from
swallowing
poison.
