Today we looked at notes on the holocaust.

People killed in the holocaust: 6 million jews, 1.5 million gypsees, a lot of soviets about 4.5 million, 2.5 poland people, about 5 to 15,000 homosexuals killed, a lot of communists, and dark colored people, mixed races were also killed. about 2,500 jahobuss witness people. total between 11 and 17 million people killed.jahobuss witness people dont believe in any christian holidays.

The aryan race was supposed to be a perfect race such ass tall blonde muscular men. the countries aryans were in were germany, belgium, britian, denmark and others. The lebensborn was where 2 german people who were perfect in every way would have kids and try to get the same thing. it was a soldier and a women. The women were not forced to do it, they wanted to get great benefits from it. if they do it then they live great. jews could not do many things- couldnt be a doctor they were stripped of their educational oppurtunities. hitler didnt want anybody important person in the government to be jewish.

Nuremburg laws in 1935- took away jewish citizenship, tghey couldnt vote, they didnt have rights, they were like colored people not having rights to anything. It said that if you had 3 or 4 jewish grandfparents then you were jewish, 1 or 2 means that you were mixed race. jews could only marry other jews.

Kristallnacht- night of the broken glass. this is where gangs of nazis went through jewish neighborhoods and destroy their cinnogags and homes and destroy their livelyhood.

All jewish kids were expelled from schools, and nazis took control of all jewish owned businesses. jews were required to wear armbands, or they wore yellow stars on the chests. nazis started to transfer the jews to poland in 1940. The first death camp to kill jews in poland was called chelmno. in 1942, hitler came with the final solution to kill all the european jews. Auschwitz and chablinca were 2 camps that were well known. The US also became aware that the nazis were killing the jews in 1942. big year in the holocaust story line. 12,000 hungarian jews each day went to aushwitz to get murdered. 1945 hitler is defeated, and soldiers came in and liberated the camps, and the jews went to many places where they were excepted like in israel. Some came to the united states.
