The Holocaust: Adolf Hitler's Role In The Holocaust

Edwin Black informed the world that the IBM computer company helped out Hitler during the Holocaust. Their role in the Holocaust was to track the people down, take the numbers down of people they killed, and they would help identify what race, religion, or gender the people were in certain regions. When IBM got caught they apologize for the mistake they made (IBM’s Role in the Holocaust). The leader of the Holocaust was Adolf Hitler. Hitler said that, “ Jews are like an alien threat to the world and us so we need to get rid of them before they get rid of us”(Introducing the Holocaust) .That is why the Holocaust. The Holocaust was so bad and tragdic for the world. First, the destruction caused by Nazis, also the number of babies, people, and

In the first place, babies were killed in the Holocaust. The babies being killed was probably the most painful thing that happened in the Holocaust. “1.5 million jewish babies were killed in the holocaust. Lorries full of babies were dumped into fire pits. Babies were also dumped into holes and rivers so that they wouldn't find them and cover them up with dirt.” Than ¨Nazis would throw babies in the air and use them as shot targets for the Nazis to practice using there guns” (DOCUMENTING NUMBERS OF VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND NAZI PERSECUTION). To continue with, a lot of Jewish people were killed. For example, “over 6 million jews were killed in the holocaust. Many in different countries. For example, 3,000,000 jews died only in Poland. 3,600,000 jews were killed only in the Soviet Union. Many more people were killed. There were a total of 11 million people killed including the Jews in the whole Europe from one group of Nazis” (DOCUMENTING NUMBERS OF VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND NAZI PERSECUTION). In the end, “In Auschwitz labor camp 1.1 million people got killed only in Auschwitz. People that were imprisoned were put in gas chambers and got gassed to death. People also got killed in many other ways. 2.7 million people were killed by being put in gas chambers and of being shot by the Nazis. The highest amount of Jewish kills was in a labor camp Auschwitz because the most of the Jews got sent there

To begin with, people were treated very poorly during the Holocaust. “Throughout existence of the camp, the authorities there treated Jews with the most ruthless, and often quite refined, cruelty. SS men regarded a Jewish life as the least valuable of all. To the greatest possible extent, Jews fell victim to starvation. People would get up to 200 calories a day. Hard labor, constant harassment and abuse, and various kinds of cyclical extermination operations.” People would get to eat soup each day in a camp with one slice of bread. In addition to that, “Prisoners were incarcerated without observation of the standard norms applying to arrest and custody; labor camps; prisoner of war camps; transit camps; and camps which served as killing centers, often called extermination camps or death camps.” “Prisoners were also made to kill other prisoners. They were forced by the Nazis to do it.” If prisoners were forced to do something and they didn't do it they would get tortured even more and some prisoners would even get killed. In conclusion, “Prisoners were required to wear color-coded triangles on their jackets so that the guards and officers of the camps could easily identify each person's background and pit the different groups against each other.”Also Prisoners were forced to sleep up to three people a bunk. You would get one blanket, one pair of shoes, and a shirt, and pants. No matter how cold or how warm it was that
