The holocaust was a moment is history that we often look back on to how devastating it was and learn now not to do it again. Germany was suddenly taken over by the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and he was a man or perfection. Everything had to be his way. he wanted to create the perfect race and by that he took mainly jews but, he also took people with disabilities and people who didn’t fit his standards to concentration camps where they were held in confinement, starved, beaten and most likely killed. Over 6 million people were killed and the reason we know that this was so major is because it started a war. A world war to be exact. People tried to get people out of concentration camps and help hide the ones in danger. We know now that this was a horrible set of events that took place and we hope to never see it again.
