Holocaust

Holocaust
1. What do you know already about the Holocaust?
I think the Holocaust is like a regime or movement made by Adolf Hitler. After WW1 the Jews came into Germany and Adolf Hitler and some Germans didn't like that. I'm nt sure, but it's either because the new people made it harder for Germans to get jobs because there were more people, or because he thought that the Jewish people was the cause of WW1 or something. Anyways, he didn't like them and he got more and more popular. His idea of getting rid of the Jews also got more and more popular and was eventually acted out. Soldiers or his people I don't know went into people's houses searching for Jews. Some Jews hid in people's houses who weren't Jews. Many went into hiding or left the country. Anne Frank was one of the Jews who went into hiding. She, her family, the Van Daan (or Vaan Dan) family, and a dentist came together and hid in a secret annex in her father's office building. There was a secret doorway that was in the wall behind the large bookshelf. Life was hard for them then, but they went through this for I think about 2 years. They would have made it through the whole event, but unluckily at the end they were caught. Early in the morning the soldiers found them and took them to concentration camps. Her sister Margot and herself were taken to the same concentration camp and I think the family and the others were separated. There were many terrible things that happened. For some places Hitlor's men just shot them down and some were put into rooms and were filled with poison gas. Some were kept alive, but were in very cramped rooms with poor hygiene and was a very bad place to live in. I think Anne died by a disease that was going around the camp and her sister too. In the end only Anne's father was alive and he took her diary.
The Holocaust caused many deaths and a terrible time for the Jews. Many Jews were killed in dreadful, horrendous ways and we should remember their perseverence and strength in trying to stay hidden and how they were killed just by being what they were.
