__**How The Holocaust Came To Be**__ The holocaust first began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler First came to power in Germany. Not just Jewish people were targeted during the Holocaust, the nazi's targeted Gypsies, homosexuals Jehovah witnesses and the disabled for persecution along with anyone who took a stand against the nazi's were either put to work or murdered. statics have been proven to show that over 11 million jewish people were murdered approximately two thirds of europe and close to 1.1 million children. Many people beleve that there were just concentration camps during this era that is not true they were also extermination camps, labour camps, Prisoner of war camps, and transit camps. Doctors were cruel and unjustice attending surgeries on patients against they're own will making them experiments. five extermination camps we're biult: Chelmo,Sobibor,Treblinka,Auschwitz, and Majdanek. Prisoners transported to these camps were told to take they're clothes off and take a shower instead they were showered with gas and killed off without the word being spread.

The holocaust was a systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution of close to six mnillion Jewish people by the nazi's. "Holocaust" is a word from the Greeks meaning " sacrifice by fire". German people believed that they were racially superior to other all other races. All other Nations were deemed useless and inferior. Persecution occured becuase of political ideological views.
 * __Introduction To The Holocaust__**

Holocaust is one of the most tragic and disciminating moments ever to happen before occuring from january 30, 1933 untill May 8, 1945 when in Europe the war had ended. Unknown to the facts of what truely happened were millions of people, to caught up in the affairs of the war im going to go through with you many facts historic facts that will introduce explain and answer what happened at this horrible called the "Holocaust." The restrictions first placed on the Jewish people were upheld during 1933.

One of the first laws that were introduced to the Jewish culture was the "Law For The Protection Of German Blood And German Honour" This law had prohibited marriages of Jewish and German peoples. Along with not allowing German woman under the age of fourty five to work in Jewish household. Jewish families were forced to give up and gold silver or any valuables that had belong to them to the German SS (Schutzstaffel) Which were Hitler's famous police officers. To add to the humiliation all Jews were forced to wear a yellow star to inform everyone that they were Jewish. Later on the people with stars were forced into concentration camps and extermination camps.

Five major camps were being used in Germany, Chelmo,Sobibor,Treblinka,Auschwitz, and Majdanek. Depending on various aspects which camps prisoners were sent to were based mainly on the health of the Jewish people they would split up the women from the men and they would have each prisoner walk by some security guards, depending on the fitness and health of the person would depend on whether or not the civilian would be carried out to work in the concentration camps or would be burned alive. Each camps goals were carried out untill the end of World War II.

President Harry Truman warned Japan to surrender, unconditionally, from the Potsdam Conference, in July. Truman warned that the U.S. had a new, horrible weapon. Japan did not accept the invitation to surrender. The announced surrender came nine days after the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, and six days after a second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The actual surrender occurred on September 2, 1945, aboard the battleship //U.S.S. Missouri//, anchored in Tokyo Harbor. Then was the Holocaust finally revealed to millions of people.

The most interesting aspect i learned throughout my research is probably the realization at how Hitler and all the Nazi's found a way to keep the Holocaust aso quiet to the entire world while World War II was happening.

The most important fact i learned throughout my research i think was how they moved the jewish people in and out of all these concentration camps starved them to death burned them alive and killed them by gas chambers while keeping the healthy younger people to work in the camps.
