People were killed, tortured, experimented on, forced to perform hard labor, starved, deprived of freedom of movement, of religion, and had property taken from them. Did I mention they were killed?
The Holocaust is an example of extreme violation of human rights. Human rights laws strive to ensure that such a situation will never occur again.
Just about all of them. Pretty much(and this is true) the only rights they had were to walk, stand, and run
Because 9 million innocent people were killed
after the Holocaust it was realised that crimes of this nature had no actual laws defining them.
The Nazis didn't care about civil or human rights.
The Holocaust in Europe
the declaration of human rights.
THE HOLOCAUST!!!! In Germany!!! WW2!!!
Reflecting back on WWII some of the most atrocious violations of human rights were going on. Wether it was the treatment of Jews in Nazi death camps as a part of the holocaust, the internment of Japanese Americans on American soil, or the occupation and destruction by armed forces human rights were secondary to the primary objective of winning the war.
Jews during the Holocaust were tortured, and starved
The typical ghetto during the Holocaust had multiple families living in an apartment with broken plumbing. People were starving and there was human waste in the streets.
The Human rights declaration was written during the french revolution
