What is the holocaust one may ask? What meaning does hold to this world? The term holocaust is a Greek word meaning “sacrifice by fire”. The genocide of six million European Jews during World War II is what the term holocaust represented. Some also knew it as the “Final Solution”. The reason why so many people were persecuted was due to the beliefs of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, commonly referred to as the Nazi. Their leader Adolf Hitler believed the recent depression and the failure of democracy throughout Germany was because of the Jewish people throughout Europe, saying they were the race enemies and “life unworthy of living”. Although Jews were considered the primary target in the view of the Nazis, they also deemed that homosexuals, mentally disabled, Slavs, Roma, and communists

    Josef Mengele is the poster boy of the holocaust. Sick freak Mengele if he really did all that stuff. I wonder why Mossad let Mengele escape?

    grammar is off

    it doesn't flow

    was it really the beliefs of the ENTIRE NAZI party or just the leaders of that party....was more than 6 million when other groups were included..and 6 million was an estimate ....i'm not sure about sacrifice by fire either....they weren't sacrificed they were MURDERED...EXTERMINATED....by fire by bullet by gas... Hitler didn't believe they were responsible for the depression he blamed them for EVERYTHING he was CRAZY with hatred, failure of democrcacy? he didnt want democracy..he established a dictatorship....

    and i don't think you read enough about it yet...you just copied a few random sentences from some book at least that's what i think

    read a LOT more first is my recomendation
