The Holocaust was the systematics annihilation of six million Jews, by the man known as Adolf Hitler and
the Nazis during WWII. In 1933 an estimated nine million Jews lived in twenty one countries of Europe that would be
military occupied by Germany during the war. By 1945, two out of every three European Jews had been killed. One
and a half million children were murdered. The horror and the torment that went on this period of time is not even plausable.
"Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo
is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they're
sending all the Jews....If it's that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilized places where the
Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they're being gassed."
