World War ll: The Holocaust
The
Holocaust was the organized, official, state-sponsored oppression and murder of
about six million Jews by the Nazi Party and its agents. "Holocaust"
is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who
came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were
"racially superior" and that the Jews, were considered
"inferior," were a foreign threat to the supposed German racial
community. Things such as concentration camps, the rise of Adolf Hitler, The Nazi Party, and modern holocausts have affected world peace, and discrimination was used throughout them.
