Holocaust

Holocaust to me means trying to kill out a whole population of a certain religion.


In the picture there is a Jewish man in a concentration camp with a gang of German soldiers gathered around 0ne German soldier about to shoot the Jewish man. Hitler hated all of the jews, he wanted to get rid of them. He created concentration camps, and death camps. In the concentration camps, they put the Jews to work, but in the death camps, they would put them in gas chambers and a cremation chamber and kill out many of them at a time.

Elie Wiesel was born in Sighet, Transylvania in the year of 1928 which is now part of Romania. At the young age of fifteen he and his family were sent to Auschwitz. Unfortunatly his mother and his younger sister were killed, but the two oldest survived. Eventually him and his father were sent to Buchenwald where his father later died. Elie and his two oldest sisters were the only ones out of his family to survive the Holocaust.
