Sukkot was commanded by God (Leviticus ch.23). The sukkahs we build are to symbolize and commemorate the protection which God gave us in the wilderness. We put our trust in God, not in the walls of our houses.
The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot, is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the time when the Israelites lived in temporary shelters in the wilderness. It is a joyous festival where people build sukkahs (temporary shelters) and celebrate with meals, prayers, and gatherings. The holiday lasts for seven days and involves thanking and praising God for His provision and protection.

Sukkot is a Jewish holiday, celebrated for 7 days beginning on the 15th day of Tishrei ending on the 21st of Tishrei. Inside Israel, the 1st day is a major holiday where work is prohibited by the Torah. Outside of Israel, work is prohibited during the first 2 days. The remaining days are called 'Chol Hamoed' (the days between the holy day(s) of Sukkot and the holy days of the next holiday that starts the day after Sukkot ends). During chol hamoed, work restrictions are far less. Sukkot has two aspects to its celebration. One is the celebration of the ingathering of harvested grain. The spiritual aspect celebrates the Divine protection afforded to the Israelites during their 40 years in the wilderness after leaving Egypt. The name 'Sukkah' refers to the shelter provided by the Clouds of Glory. During Sukkot, Jews eat all their meals in outdoor arbor-canopied booths (Sukkah) as commanded in the Torah. Some also sleep in the Sukkah. During the morning prayers on these days, we take the 4 minim consisting of a Lulav (young palm branch), an Etrog (Citrus Medica; citron), three Haddassim (Myrtle branches) and two Aravot (willow branches).
Sukkot means either booths or tabernacles. It's also the name of a holiday in which Jews build a Sukkah (sukkot is plural) ... and depending on your tradition --eat, sit, and/or sleep inside it.

Jewish people became an easy scapegoat for Germany's problems after World War I. There is a long history of anti-Semitism in Europe, so Hitler was able to easily build upon this hate, combined with the financial and political burdens the German people were feeling at the time, to make them the target of extreme hate. By spreading racist misinformation and framing Jewish people as sub-human, the Nazis were able to kill millions of Jewish people with the support of their countrymen.
