    To understand the numbers better of these barbaric annihilations, approximately 1,095,00 Jews were deported to Auschwitz of whom 960,000 died; 147,000 of Poles deported of which 74,000 died; Soviet prisoners of war in which 15,000 deported and all have died, and other nationalities of 25,000 people deported of which 12,000 died including the Roma (gypsies) 23,000 people added to the death toll. It is impossible to know the exact numbers of deaths because Jews that were pronounced unfit to work were never officially registered as Auschwitz prisoners. For that reason, it is impossible to calculate the exact numbers of lives lost in the camps. The thousands of people who have escaped or survived the camps, refused to return to their former homes. Those lands had become graveyards to them, and they could not face the prospect or resuming life in those countries. There is no doubt that this was the biggest mass murder in history. All these souls lost their lives in a tragic and horrific death. Unfourtneley while all these murders were taking place the rest of the world was sleeping. The way it affected the world was by opening everyone's eyes to what catastrophe could happen if no one was listening or watching. There is no turning time back now. The only thing we could do is remember all the lives that were taken from us and never let history repeat itself. (Museum.…

As a result of the Holocaust, approximately 11 million people died in total, which included 6 million Jews and 5 million non-Jews which contained the Gypsies, homosexuals, artists and dissidents. Even though, the U.S and its allies, which included the Britain, the Soviet Union, and the Free French, were aware of the camps, they didn’t understand the extent of the horrors until towards the end of the war. The Nazis kept it a secret from them. When the Allies took over Germany, they found out about these terrible acts that the Nazi leaders committed. Moreover, the U.S and its allies weren’t quite sure how to handle the situation. As a result, the Allies created the Nuremberg Trials which punished the most important captured leaders of Nazi Germany who committed crimes against humanity. Crimes against humanity are considered the highest level of criminal offense which includes murder, extermination, enslavement and other inhumane acts against a group of…
