3. WHY DID THE HOLOCAUST
HAPPEN?
IN 1921 ADOLF HITLER BECAME LEADER OF THE NAZI PARTY. THE
NAZIS WERE RACISTS AND BELIEVED THAT THEIR ARYAN RACE WAS
SUPERIOR TO OTHERS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY COMPLICATED
REASONS THE HOLOCAUST BEGAN THEY ESPECIALLY HATED JEWS,
HITLER BLAMED THE DEFEAT OF THE GREAT WAR ON THEM AND IN HIS
SPEECHES AND CONVERSATIONS, HE PASSIONATELY STATED HIS BELIEF
THAT THE GERMANS WERE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE MIGHTY ARYAN
RACE,
EXAMPLE OF AN
ARYAN GIRL
USED ON A
PROPAGANDA
POSTER
HE BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE
DESTINED TO RULE OTHERS, OTHERS
RACES LIKE THE JEWS AND SLAVS WERE
TO BE THEIR SERVANTS. HITLER‟S
ANGER AND HATRED INTENSIFIED
BECAUSE HE FELT THAT THE JEWS WERE
TAKING AWAY THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT
RIGHTFULLY BELONGED TO THE ARYANS.
AS TIME WENT ON, HITLER‟S HATRED
EVENTUALLY LED TO HIS BELIEF
THAT THEY SHOULD BE KILLED AND
THEIR ENTIRE RACE BE WIPED OUT.

4. FACTS
11 MILLION PEOPLE WERE KILLED DURING THE HOLOCAUST. SIX MILLION
OF THESE WERE JEW.
THE NAZIS KILLED APPROXIMATELY TWO-THIRDS OF ALL JEWS LIVING IN
EUROPE.
THE FIRST ACTION AGAINST GERMAN JEWS BY ANNOUNCING A BOYCOTT OF
ALL JEWISH-RUN BUSINESSES, SS MEN WOULD STAND OUTSIDE OF THEIR
SHOPS AND NOT LET PEOPLE ENTER, ALSO THE STAR OF DAVID WAS
PAINTED IN YELLOW ON THE SHOP WINDOWS.
1.1 MILLION PEOPLE WERE KILLED AT AUSCHWITZ AND IS SAID TO BE
THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE ON THE PLANET.
THE FIRST CONCENTRATION CAMP WAS DACHAU, WHICH OPENED ON MARCH
20, 1933, NOVEMBER 1938 APPROXIMATELY 10,000 JEWS ARRIVED AFTER
HAVING BEEN ARRESTED DURING
IT IS SAID THAT AUSCHWITZ IS THE MOST HAUNTED PLACE
IN THE WORLD.

5. FACTS
MORE THAN 9,000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED EACH DAY AT THE HEIGHT OF
EXTERMINATIONS AT AUSCHWITZ.
ILSE KOCH WAS A CONCENTRATION CAMP GUARD WHO MARRIED KARL-OTTO
KOCH [COMMANDANT OF BUCHENWALD AND MAJDANEK] HAD TWO SONS, ONE

LIVE WITH THE SHAME OF HIS PARENTS' CRIMES.
SOCIAL 'UNDESIRABLES' INCLUDING BEGGARS, THE HOMELESS,
ALCOHOLICS AND THE UNEMPLOYED WERE ALSO BE SENT TO
CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
IN POLAND THE JEWISH DEATH TOLL EXCEEDED THREE MILLION - 90
PER CENT OF POLISH JEWS.

went towards Fuchsl, a white terrier and was devastated when it
was stolen.

ADOLF HITLER
HEINRICH HIMMLER
HITLER WAS THE LEADER OF THE NAZI PARTY, HE WAS BORN IN THE TOWN OF
BRAUNQU, AUSTRIA AND THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT HIS FATHER BEAT HIM WHEN HE
WAS YOUNG. HE SERVED AS A SOLDIER IN WORLD WAR I, HE WAS ENLISTED IN
THE BAVARIAN ARMY. IN OCTOBER OF 1916 HE WAS WOUNDED BY AN ENEMY SHELL
AND MOVED TO A BERLIN AREA HOSPITAL. AFTER RECOVERING, AND SERVING FOUR
YEARS IN THE SERVICE, HE WAS TEMPORARILY BLINDED BY A MUSTARD GAS
ATTACK IN BELGIUM IN OCTOBER 1918. COMMUNIST REVOLTS SHOOK GERMANY
WHILE HITLER WAS RECOVERING, SOME JEWS WERE LEADERS OF THESE
REVOLUTIONS, THIS WAS PART OF HITLER‟S HATRED FOR JEWISH PEOPLE.
IN 1921 HITLER BECAME LEADER OF THE NAZI PARTY, HE WROTE A BOOK
IN 1923 CALLED MEIN KAMPF (MY STRUGGLE/MY BATTLE), IT IS A MIXTURE OF
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AN EXAMINATION OF THE
TECHNIQUES OF PROPAGANDA.
ADOLF HITLER BECAME CHANCELLOR IN JAN 30TH 1933, HE WAS A TALENTED
SPEAKER AND THE NAZI PARTY GREW TO HAVING 8.5MILLION MEMBERS WHEN HE
CAME INTO POWER. HE PROMISED A BETTER GERMANY, TO MAKE THE PEOPLE PROUD
AGAIN AND SOLVE THE DEPRESSION.

DEVELOPED THE SS INTO A POWERFUL GROUP WITH ITS OWN MILITARY, AND
FOLLOWING HITLER'S ORDERS, SET UP AND CONTROLLED THE NAZI

CHILD, GUDRUN, WAS BORN ON 8 AUGUST 1929. THE COUPLE ALSO FOSTERED
GERHARD VON AHE, SON OF AN SS OFFICER WHO HAD DIED BEFORE THE WAR.
HIMMLER WAS CLOSE TO HIS FIRST DAUGHTER, GUDRUN, HE NICKNAMED
HER PÜPPI (DOLLY) AND CALLED HER EVERY FEW DAYS AND VISITED AS OFTEN
AS HE COULD. AS GERMANY'S DEFEAT BECAME IMMINENT, HIMMLER MADE
ATTEMPTS TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE ALLIES. HITLER WAS FURIOUS AND STRIPPED
HIMMLER OF ALL HIS OFFICES. HIMMLER TRIED TO ESCAPE UNDER A FALSE
IDENTITY BUT WAS CAPTURED BY THE ALLIES. ON 23 MAY 1945 HE COMMITTED
SUICIDE IN CUSTODY.

BITTERLY RESENTED. ALONG WITH HIS WIFE THEY KILLED THEIR SIX
CHILDREN, AND THEN COMMITTED SUICIDE ON MAY 1 1945. THE COUPLE'S
BODIES WERE BURNED IN A SHELL CRATER, BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF PETROL
THE BURNING WAS ONLY PARTLY EFFECTIVE, AND THEIR BODIES WERE EASILY
IDENTIFIABLE. THE REMAINS OF THE GOEBBELS FAMILY WERE REPEATEDLY
BURIED AND EXHUMED, ALONG WITH THE REMAINS OF HITLER, EVA BRAUN,
GENERAL HANS KREBS AND HITLER'S DOGS.
