Hi, my name is Monikah Ivanova, I'm Jewish, and I know a lot about the Holocaust. My grandparents survived the holocaust, BTW...

Holocaust- from 1938-1945 (many people have different thoughts on when it started/ended, but the Night of Broken Glass (Kristallnacht) was basically the start.

Adolf Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party, and he blamed Jews for Germany's defeat in the war, and a lot of other, stupid things. He had this picture in his mind, and it was of the 'perfect race'- blond hair, blue eyes. He didn't want Jews mixing in with them, so he gained power and took over Europe.

He murdered millions of innocent Jews. They were forced from their homes and were taken to concentration camps, or were sent to gas chambers, or were shot immediately upon arrival. Children below 16 were killed immediately, and 16 and up had to work in harsh conditions. Many starved, or had diseases. Although some survived the holocaust, they were emotionally scarred for life from the horror they had seen. Europe itself was a huge mess, but the German soldiers (most of them anyway) were not punished for the mass murder they had committed.

Total number of the Jews that died- about 6 million. The holocaust was a depressing, horrible event. The victims will never be forgotten. Forever and always shall they be remembered. You know, my grandparents' friends died there. My grandmother's sister and mother were murdered in front of her eyes, and her brother was working someplace else, was never seen again by my grandmother. As for my grandfather, his whole family as well as friends and cousins were all killed. He was the only Survivor out of 45 people. Sad, isn't it?

The Nazis were in power in Germany from 1933-1945. Persecution started almost at once; genocide started in 1941. Hitler wanted an Aryan Race Jews, Gypsies, Russians, Poles, etc. were not wanted Hitler tried to force these out of their homes, but they wouldn't go. He ended up killing them Hitler blamed the loss of WWI on the Jews, and he hated them Communists, Ukrainian Nationalists, Trade Unionists, and Slavs were to be killed way before the Jews. The Holocaust profited Nazis Germans hailed Hitler as their Leader, because he took them out of the depression
