To begin with, have you ever heard of the holocaust? If not, it is the mass genocide of Jews. This led up and started WW2 back in 1939. This was a tough time to be a Jew in Germany, and here is why.

To start with, in 1933 the Nazi party took control of Germany. These Nazi’s were Antisemitism which means they were racist against Jews they did not like them because of their religion. Germans were Christan and jews are not. Germans did not like that so when the nazi party become control over the entire country they went ahead and made a law saying that if your Jewish you cannot work, go to school, or even own properties. In 1935 the raced-based measures known as the Nurnberg laws, this law took Jews in Germanys rights away so, at this time they are no longer a German citizen.

Secondly, Germany made their attacks on Poland, they invaded Poland September 1st, 1939. This started WW2. Right after this Germany started making death camps or better known as concentration camps. This is where the nazis took the imprisoned Jews. They were called death camps because most jews would die of infection and starvation. After WW2 started the nazis started killing Jews by the thousands. in 1945 the Germans took the remaining imprisoned Jews and took them on a death march they walked from death camp to death camp and most died due to dehydration or trying to run away and being caught and shot killed.

In conclusion, the nazi did incredibly dreadful things that we need to prevent for many years to come. No matter what country does it. It is terrible and should never happen again.
