Holocaust

The Holocaust was the mass murder of Jews under the German Nazis during the time period of 1941-1945. More then six million European Jews were killed, not only Jews but other groups such as homosexuals and gypsies. The Nazis were very mean they would ransack through Jews homes taking what they wanted, they made them slaves for hard labor which sometimes was the death of some Jews, they also created a list of rules and laws prohibiting where Jews could go and whom they could associate and there weren't many options. Jews were forced to wear a patch of the Star of David on there sleeve to show that they were Jews and were often criticized and bullied when out in public because of it. Jews were killed daily, some for no reason; while others that were being put to work were killed when they didn't have enough work for all the Jews.
