The innocent people killed were “locked in the ghettos, aware about their forthcoming doom” (Kimel, What Happened?). There was apparent suffering under Adolf Hitler 's reign.

Even though Joseph Stalin killed more people, the effects of these killings must be investigated to show who was a more destructive leader in terms of religious groups.

I will look at the Bolsheviks for Joseph Stalin 's influence and the Jews for Adolf Hitler 's influence. To investigate the effects on these religious groups, I
