Appointed as Grand Inquisitor was a monk named Tomas de Torquemada. He was in charge of helping Spain get rid of all heresy. Although the main purpose for the Inquisition was to get rid of all the Jews from Spain, it kept proceeding long after the Jews were gone in 1492. Jews that had not yet converted to Christianity by 1492 were thrown out of Spain by the Alhambra Decree. Unconverted Muslims suffered the same fate in 1502.
Beginning in sixty six AD with Jewish uprisings under Rome and ending with the destruction of Jerusalem in seventy AD the first Jewish War was a prolonged massacre of the Jews in their homeland, had the Jewish Diaspora not spread the Jews over the known world the Romans might have eradicated the entire religion. The Babylonians in five hundred and eighty seven BC scattered the Jews thus bringing chaos and division within the religion. Years later in sixty six AD the Jews living in Israel revolt against their Roman rulers. Over the assuming four years the Romans obliterated the Jews and destroyed their capital. Without the Diaspora the Romans might have crushed the entire Jewish religion by devouring the revolts and their siege of Jerusalem.

The Holocaust genocide was the mass extermination of the Jewish population in Germany and other countries with German influences. The Darfur genocide that started in 2003 and ended when a peace agreement was signed in 2011 was when groups in Darfur accused the Sudanese government of oppressing non-Arab Sudanese people. These two cases are somewhat similar and different at the same time. The Holocaust was the mass murder of over six million Jewish people in German territories. The Holocaust started with Kristallnacht, which is “the Night of Broken Glass.” This occurred on November 7th, 1938.
Emperor Nero of Rome and the persecution of Christians A generation after the death of Christ, Christianity had reached Rome in the form of an obscure offshoot of Judaism popular among the city's poor and destitute. Members of this religious sect spoke of the coming of a new kingdom and a new king. These views provoked suspicion among the Jewish authorities who rejected the group and fear among the Roman authorities who perceived these sentiments as a threat to the Empire. In the summer of 64, Rome suffered a terrible fire that burned for six days and seven nights consuming almost three quarters of the city. The people accused the Emperor Nero for the devastation claiming he set the fire for his own amusement.
On 7 November 1938, Grynszpan a Jew who had escaped to France shot Von Rath a secretary of the German Embassy in France for denying help to Grynszpan's parents who were deported to Poland. Von Rath died on November 9th because of the injuries. What happened on Kristallnatch?. The murder of von Rath by a Jewish served as the pretext for the Nazis to begin what would end up in the Holocaust, on the night from 9th to November 10th 1938, the nazis people destroyed almost all synagogues in Germany and Austria, all businesses Jews were attacked and Jewish cemeteries were dishonored, 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps, 91 jews were killed and the rest of them tormented. The consequences of Kristallnatch, the event in Germany was rejected by various and praised by others, many governments cut off relations with Germany in protest.
He started an organised persecution of Jews in Germany which would eventually spread across Europe. [1] The prejudice towards Jews gradually developed and laws were formed: propaganda against the Jews was released, Nuremberg laws were introduced, Kristallnacht was released, wearing the yellow David star for recognition, being forced to live in ghettos, then labour camps, bodies used for medical experiments, and eventually, the harshest and cruelest death camps. At the end of WWII, over 6 million Jews were killed. [2] I disagree the most with Rubenstein’s response because he said after the Holocaust God of Jews doesn’t exist. He says the whole experience of Holocaust has totally crushed the traditional Judaic concept on God, especially as God of the covenant with Abraham.
In this essay, I will be including and explaining the real facts and figures of what happened in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a time of devastation and corruption. It was a time of cruelty and it was terribly inhumane. The Holocaust and its supporters tried vainly to make the world perfect, but only succeeded in killing millions. The Nazi’s and Adolph Hitler spoke against Jews even before the start of World War II, they blamed them for
According to Lactantius’s On the Deaths of the Persecutors, in February 303 CE, Diocletian launched the last persecution of Christians which denied Christians of all legal rights. The persecution continued until 311 CE when Galerius, who was the Caesar of the Eastern Empire and was deathly ill, struck a deal with the Christian God. Galerius instituted an edict which granted Christians freedom of worship in exchange for their prayers for him. This was a major transformation of the Roman world

His finance ministers John the Cappadocian and Peter Barsymes , who were able to collect taxes more efficiently than any other before.
