Fact or Fiction
Information about the Holocaust Museum The Holocaust museum serves as a research
facility for scholars, teachers, and students of all ages. The Holocaust was
responsible for the death of six million Jews. Holocaust means sacrifice by
fire. The Germans thought that their race was superior to the Jews and every
other race to. The Germans thought that the Jews were life unworthy of life.
In 1933 Europe had over nine million Jews, by 1945, two out of every three
European Jews had been killed. Jews were not the only people that were
killed by the Nazis; others were Poles, and Russians. Communists,
Socialists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Homosexuals also hated and killed by
the Nazis. The Jews were put in concentration camps and were murdered, died
of starvation, diseases, or neglect. The other non Jews were put in the same
camps, Jews were mostly killed by a gas chamber the other people were just
made to work and died of neglect. After the war over 700,000 Jews immigrated
to Israel. The Jews suffered a lot through the Holocaust and still remain a
major religious group today.
