Activity 6: The Holocaust


Activity 6

1.    The Holocaust refers to the deliberate, systematic, planned murder of the Jews in Europe.

2.  The Germans wanted to kill large numbers of innocent people because they were non-Aryans. For example the Jews and colored people.

3.  At first the German army had the Einsatzgruppen they were known as the special action groups or the killing squads. They carried out the genocide but the government soon realized that this was ineffective and too slow and also they were known for their heavy drinking. Then the German generals came invented the gas showers to kill large numbers of people at once. This was very effective and wasn’t expensive.

4.  When WOII came to an end all the concentration camps were set free by the allies. When all the people in the concentration camps were set free they didn’t have anything no money, no housing, no clothes, no nothing. The world was very angry at Germany after WOII because of everything they had done. Economically Germany was at its worst because everything had been bombed by the allies.
