The holocaust, also known as Shoah. The genocide of the non-Aryan race. Created by Hitler, and executed by Hitler. Described by some survivors to be worse than dieing others just wished that they had died instead of having to live through the horrors of watching all of there family and friends walk away and just knowing that you will most likely never see them again. The holocaust consisted of using gas chambers, ovens, and concentration camps, and extermination camps. The Nazi party was the party that was involved in the holocaust. Jewish people tried to come to America but, at the border America the Americans would not let the Jews in even though they knew that the Jews where being persecuted in Germany. Almost 3/4th of the Jewish population died either in a Ghetto or at a "camp." Although many Jewish people were offered to convert to another faith to survive almost none of the Jewish community accepted this offer and would rather die than not be Jewish. Although those who switched beliefs survived and were free once they convinced the Nazis that they would not leave and go right back to being Jewish. All around the world people knew that the persecution of Jews was happening no one stepped in to stop the Genocide that was happening.
