Holocaust
The holocaust was an event in which the discrimination against Jews happened. The holocaust was very horrific event in history. Though this macabre event happened, it had no start date. The discrimination slowly built up from the Nuremberg Laws and continued until the Germans eventually started to mass murder the Jews. It all begun in the night of broken glass when the Germans started discriminating the Jews. A lot of their rights were taken away and eventually they were forced out of their houses.

So many innocent children, babies, mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, nieces, aunts, uncles and brothers would not have been horrifically murdered. As the Holocaust progressed the conditions got much worst. There was mud, and dead rats which caused diseases. The ghettos were so overcrowded that when some got sick it spread from person to person which resulted in some deaths. Some Jews tried to escape but those that were captured suffered sterilization, forced resettlement, division from families, beatings, torture, starvation, and death. As the days progressed the number of deaths started increasing more and more. Life started getting harder for Jews. For example, the Germans would
