Why Is Hitler Responsible For The Holocaust

In the image I received, I see an S.S. officer standing guard, watching over Jews loading dead bodies into the bed of a truck. Two men are standing in the bed of the truck holding up a cable so bodies can be thrown in the back. The bodies that are being hauled away for burial are very skinny. Basically skin and bones. There is very little grass in the picture, but there are trees. The men in the picture are all carrying a body, the women are watching. There are the barracks, or buildings that they sleep in in the back ground.

It is terrible to think that this was a real event. That the Holocaust actually happened. Some believe that Hitler may have turned against the Jews for several different reasons. Hitler’s father, Alois, was illegitimate.

During the ‘Final Solution,’ families were ripped apart. People were gathered up, forced to leave their belongings behind and forced onto cattle trains. Many of the people rounded up went to concentration camps, such as Auschwitz-Birkenau. Concentration camps were where the Jews and other perceived enemies of the Nazi state were exterminated. Hitler became convinced that his ‘Jewish problem’ would be solved only with the elimination of every Jew in the domain, along with artists, educators, gypsies, communists, homosexuals, the mentally and physically handicapped and others deemed unfit for survival in Nazi Germany. Auschwitz was a concentration and extermination camp where the Nazi genocide too place. Historical investigations of Auschwitz say that 1.5 million people, many Jews, were systematically starved, tortured and murdered in this camp. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the most notorious of six concentration camps created by Nazi Germany to implement the ‘Final Solution’

This was to strip the Jews of their personal items and dignity. Some prisoners were treated in barbaric experiments and slave labor. To complete the mission of ‘Final Solution,’ Hitler created death camps. Death camps were solely created to exterminate the Jews and other undesirables. Although, not everyone who arrived at Auschwitz was put to death, those fit to work were placed in labor positions. The slave labor consisted of creating synthetic rubber and producing munitions.

Some prisoners were subject to inhumane medical experiments. Dr. Mengele, known as the ‘Angel of Death’, performed a range of experiments on detainees. For example, to study eye color, he injected a serum into the eyeballs into dozens of children, causing excruciating pain. He also would inject chloroform into the hearts of twins, to determine if the twins would die at the same time or in the same manner. The experiments done during the holocaust were never done with consent. Normally the experiments resulted in death, disfigurement or permanent
