Research assignment #2

the second article i got was from world book again and it was about the holocaust. i choose the holocaust as my second topic because it is by far the most studied genocide and since i am doing the Armenian genocide i wanted to look at the biggest example. so, as established before, genocide is the systematic killing of a group of people based on religion, nationality, race, ect... the holocaust was the genocide committed by the dictator Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers society (Nazi) party. the Nazi party is most famous for killing 6 million Jews, but he also had killed anybody who opposed him or he thought inferior to himself, ie: gypsies, mentally retarded or disabled people, poles, soviets, communists,  gays and lesbians and also Jehovah's witnesses. one of the ways that Hitler and the Nazis would kill people was by sending them to the various concentration camps around Germany and Poland. these concentration camps were most famous for their gas chambers where people thought that they would be taking a shower but really they would be getting killed by poisonous gases. near the end of the war, the Americans and the Russians liberated all of these concentration camps. very few people survived these camps and even fewer weren't changed for life.
