Who was the leader of the holocaust Hitler He had an unrelenting obsession with purifying the Aryan race Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its accomplices strove to murder every Jew under their domination Because the Nazi’s hatred against Jews began with Hitler's accession to power in January 1933, many historians consider this the start of the Holocaust era. Jews were not the only people who were suffered in the Holocaust, but anyone who got in the Nazi way were killed.

Concentration and extermination camps ►A►A►A►Although many people refer to all Nazi camps as "concentration camps," there were actually a number of different kinds of camps, including concentration camps, extermination camps, labor camps, prisoner-of- war camps, and transit camps. While concentration camps were meant to work and starve prisoners to death, extermination camps (also known as death camps) were built for the sole purpose of killing large groups of people quickly and efficiently. Prisoners transported to these extermination camps were told to undress to take a shower. Rather than a shower, the prisoners were herded into gas chambers and killed. (At Chelmno, the prisoners were herded into gas vans instead of gas chambers.) At a number of Nazi concentration camps, Nazi doctors conducted medical experiments on prisoners against their willmedical experiments

They came across the abandoned Majdanek concentration camp, whose prisoners already had been herded off on a death march away from the advancing Russian troops. On 31 Aug 1944, the SS began evacuating the Natzweiler-Struthof camp, herding its prisoners on a death march that resulted in 2,000 deaths en route to the Dachau camps. In the following months, as the concentration camps were evacuated by their commandants, the prisoners were engaged in brutal death marches against the increasingly cold terrain.

Origins of the holocaust  The Nazi Party had used relocation as an effective weapon against their political enemies as early as 1933, but it was some time between 1937 and 1938 that members of the Nazi Party started to deport Jews into concentration camps and ghettos. One of the first concentration camps built was at Buchenwald The anti-Semitism rampant among the Nazi was not a new phenomenon. Rather, it was built upon an anti-Semitic feeling that had long been present in Europe. Even after WW2, the Pocket Oxford Dictionary still grossly defined the word "Jew" as the following: Margot Rosenthal of Berlin was able to hide from the Gestapo agents until 5 Dec 1941 before she was found and forced to relocate to a ghetto in Bavaria. "Send us something to eat, we are starving," she wrote her friend Ruth Andreas-Friedrich in Berlin. It was in camps like Chelmno that between eight to eleven million Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, prisoners of war, Roma, Sinti, the disabled, homosexuals, political dissidents
