Hitler's Failure Of The Holocaust

From January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945 was The Holocaust; a period of desperation and misery for the Jewish population in Europe. This wasn’t a good time for Jews because a new chancellor was chosen for Germany, Adolf Hitler. Approximately 6 million Jews were murdered during this time; 1.5 million of them were children. These deaths added up to be about two-thirds of the Jewish population in Europe and one-third of all Jews in the world. This horrible attempt to eradicate the Jewish population was Hitler’s plan; he named it the “Final Solution.” In World War I, Germany lost some of its territory and also saw a reduction in its armed forces. The Versailles Treaty demanded the recognition of its guilt for the war, and on top of that made
President Paul Von Hindenburg named Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. Adolf Hitler was the leader of the National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. The Nazi Party won a significant percentage of the vote in 1932’s elections. The Nazi’s made a propaganda campaign against its political opponents and the Jewish population.

Freedom of the press, assembly, and expression were no longer active; the right to privacy was also taken away. On March 5, the Nazis had 44 percent of the vote plus 8 percent from the conservatives. They won a majority in the government. The Nazis slowly moved into a dictatorship. The Enabling Act was passed on March 23 letting Hitler become more of a dictator. The Secret State Police in Germany, the Gestapo, were given permission to arrest whoever they would like. Hitler’s personal bodyguard, the Protection Squad (Schutzstaffel), controlled the Gestapo and the concentration camps. With this, all of Nazi’s opponents were either beaten, or sent to a concentration camp where the Germans would incarcerate them. Dachav , was the first camp built specifically for political prisoners; it later changed its purpose and became another concentration camp for the annihilation of the Jews. Adolf Hitler was in complete control of Germany by the end of the 1934; his plan against the Jews was in
