Holocaust

The holocaust started with the Night Of Broken Glass when a German Officer was assassinated in paris by a jew. Nazis destroyed jewish towns and arrested/captured hundreds of jews and took them to concentration camps. Once arrived at concentration camps Jews were sorted between who lived and did forced labor or died in gas chambers. Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp. The most people died at Auschwitz out of six concentration camps(although many survived). If a prisoner was a twin they would not be taken t o concentration camps, they would be experimented on by Josef Mengele. Josef Mengele was a doctor at the time interested in anatomy and DNA. The holocaust ended when Germany found that they would be attacked. In effort of keeping concentration camps a secret they took the prisoners on a "Death March". This was when they forced prisoners to walk to wherever that camp was taking prisoners and if anybody stopped walking they would be shot by Nazis.
