The Holocaust

Many wonder what the Holocaust was, who

the Nazis were, why they killed numbers of innocent people, how they carried out their policy, and most importantly how the world responded to their actions.

 From 1933 to 1939 the Nazi party was putting

all their efforts towards eliminating Jews from economic life. Jewish firms were liquadated and their inventory disposed of, or bought for less then its value by another company owner that wasn't a Jew. Later , the money from Jewish sales and saving were subjected to property taxes.

 The Holocaust was a systematic persecution of

European Jews by the Nazis in Germany between the years of 1933 and 1945. In 1933, before the Holocaust, about nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be soon taken over by Germany during II World War . By 1945 many Jews had died and many were still being killed.
