He was leader of the Nazis till he got caught at his military base than sentenced to a short term of imprisonment. (www.worldhistory.abc-clio.com ) . The holocaust started because of Hitler. Hitler caused this because he wanted to annihilate the Jewish race. Adolf had a fear of being overrun by a different race and wanted to be the leader of the world.
More specifically, Jews were not able to purchase guns, or individuals would not sell them to Jews. Yet another reason why this resistance was extremely difficult is because the Jews had no clue as to what the Nazis were going to do next, making it almost impossible to know when they should begin their attack. Despite these setbacks, armed resistance did in fact occur in more than one ghetto. Why? As mentioned before, because some Jews saw this as their only hope of
Those who were unaware of the crimes committed by the Nazis were not responsible for their government's actions, such as in the cases of Junge and Knappe. Those who were aware of the crimes committed and were in a position to protest them, but didn't should be held responsible for keeping silent. All of the individuals that kept silent during the Nazis reign allowed the Holocaust to happen. Although not directly responsible, the Holocaust and WWII would not have been possible if so many people hadn't kept
The Holocaust Bryan Cheshire Grand Canyon University HIS 331 20th Century World History May 29, 2011 The Holocaust The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. (Museum, 2011) Adolf Hitler was sworn in as the offical Cancellor of Germany in early 1933, He was the leader behind the distruction and punishment brought out by the Holocaust.

Hitler set his sights on distroying the Jewish race, he looked at the Jewish People
The Holocaust During WWII, the single, most aggressive act towards a race of people occurred, the Holocaust. The Holocaust refers to the period from January 30, 1933 - when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany - to May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe officially ended. During this time, Jews in Europe were subjected to progressively harsher persecution that ultimately led to the murder of 6,000,000 Jews and the destruction of 5,000 Jewish communities. The Jews who died were not casualties of the fighting that ravaged Europe during World War II. Rather, they were the victims of Germany's deliberate and systematic attempt to annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe, a plan Hitler called the “Final Solution”.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Preceding World War II, the Nazi party in Germany rose to power and, under Adolf Hitler, committed the largest genocide the world has ever seen: the Holocaust. The ideology of the Nazi party led to the discrimination and extremely harsh persecution of the Jewish people, as well as many others who did not seem fit for the perfect German race. Jews, as well as the handicapped, homosexual, disabled, and so on, were sent to concentration camps where they were forced to perform manual labor and then killed. However, before the Nazis sent the Jews to concentration camps, they set up ghettos throughout German-controlled territory in Europe. The largest of these ghettos was the Warsaw Ghetto, located in Poland.
Some of the persecuted who managed to survive found their faith in God strengthened and believed that their survival was solely due to his actions, whereas others felt almost guilty for their survival and claimed that their faith had been destroyed along with the lives of their families and friends. The Holocaust has been used to claim that God’s existence is an impossibility or that even if God does exist, Jews should abandon the concept of such a being. This view has radically changed Jewish theology and has presented a number of challenges to those who still have
Holocaust deniers ignore the vast evidence of the event and insist the Holocaust is a myth. They argue that since there is not a single document that outlines the Holocaust or a signed document from Hitler himself ordering the Holocaust, that the Holocaust itself is a hoax. The deniers also argue that Nazis did not use gas chambers to mass kill Jews. Lastly, deniers also claim that the limited number of Jews that did die during World War II did so from natural causes, or were executed for criminal offenses. The Germans destroyed some of the records at the end of the war and some records were destroyed during bombing.
Many people deny the existence of the Holocaust and the genocide of the Jewish population during World War II, which keeps the anti-Semitism and stereotype chain intact. “The Holocaust is one of the most well documented events that ever happened in history,” (Confronting Antisemitism). Usually, the deniers are people who discriminate against the Jewish or claim that the whole tragic event is or was exaggerated (Confronting Antisemitism). Some other reasons why the deniers deny the Holocaust is, to reduce sympathy for Jews, to doubt the Jews and the Holocaust, draw attention to this issue, and most importantly, undermine our understanding of history (Confronting Antisemitism). Mino 2 “It says that the six million Jews did not die in vain,” (Gottfried 99) stated Ted Gottfried.
