The Holocaust was a terrible time between 1939 and 1946. During this period of time the past ruler of Germany, Adolf Hitler, took away rights of Jews, African Americans, Foreigns, etc. Hitler took innocent people and put them in Concentration Camps. In these camps all races and religons that Hitler did not believe in or particullarly like were put in gas chambers where they were gassed to their death, others were worked and worked. They barely got any food or water and were usually worked 'til they died, escaped, or they were moved to other camps. Others just stood by and did nothing. While Hitler was running for political he made all people believe that he could fix Germany after the Great Depression. Once be became in rule he made it to where he was the only one who could run/have power in Germany other than his army , which was called the Nazi's. No one ever believed to take Hitler out of power because Hitler had all of it. The Holocaust is what the Major reason was that createed the World War Two. This is a point in time that will always be remembered as a time that was a very depressing and sad time. Some are still recovering from this terrible time.
