Intentional Plan for Mass Murder

The mass murder of European Jews was purposely planned by Adolph Hitler before the wars started because there were already death camps in the making, Hitler was brainstorming more ways to execute all Jews, and he took away Jewish leader from their communities so they had no power or say in what would happen. There are some questions today about the holocaust that people cannot answer. Many people have their own opinions about the war and if it affected the serious reasons for the killings of all Jews.

Intentionalism is when you do something purposely, or when wanting to harm something or someone; it is intentional. “Moreover, some functionalist theories tend to normalize Nazism by suggesting that its leaders stumbled into the most extreme criminal behavior” (Wistich 223).

The count of the number of people who are within the Jewish religion dropped dramatically within this period of time.
