The Holocaust

The Holocaust is probably the most well known genocide in western history. It took place in the Nazi controlled countries in Europe, but was started in Germany by a group of people called the Nazis, who were led by a man named Adolf Hitler. The Holocaust started in 1933 and then ended in 1945, only 64 years ago. It is considered to have been one of the worst Genocides of all time. Hitler persecuted homosexuals, the disabled, Roma people, basically anyone who was different, but his biggest target was the Jewish population. He was responsible for the deaths of 1.2 million Jewish children, and overall about 6 million Jewish people. But not just Hitler was at fault...
If more people had spoken out against Hitler, a few more of the people who perished could have been saved, but too many people stayed silent. Bystanders have a role too, don't be one, help.
