Special
Note:
This site is
intended to be educational. Some of the images
included in this Holocaust project may be disturbing,
especially for younger learners. While we encourage
children to learn, we hope that parents and teachers
will be there to help explain events and guide young
learners through the complexities behind what they may
read and see. Adults should preview sites before
providing access to younger
children.
-
- Easier - The
Holocaust was the killing of millions of European
Jews and other people by Nazis during World War
II.
-
- Harder - The word
holocaust means a sacrificial offering that is
completely burned. The Holocaust was the systematic
murder of Jews and others by the Nazis during World
War II (1939-1945). Nazis led by dictator Adolf
Hitler wanted to eliminate all people regarded as
racially inferior or politically dangerous. In
addition to Jews, the Nazis systematically killed
other people including Germans who were physically
handicapped or mentally retarded, Gypsies,
Slavs--particularly Poles and Soviet prisoners of
war, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, priests and
ministers, members of labor unions, and Communists
and other political opponents. By the end of the
war, the Nazis had killed millions of Jewish men,
women, and children, more than two-thirds of the
Jews in Europe, and as many as 6 million or more
people in all. Many of the Holocaust victims were
killed in specially constructed gas chambers, and
their bodies were then burned.

- Understanding & Prevention by
Alexander Kimel, Holocaust Survivor
- http://www.kimel.net/
- Remembering the victims or recording all the
details of this enormous tragedy is not
enough. Are we contented to report history in all its
details, or should we strive to understand the
historical forces, man's limitations to overcome
his instinctual drives, the herd instinct, his
inability to withstand the pressures of a
totalitarian state?
