The ones who managed to make it out of the Holocaust alive were too afraid to go back to their homes. They set up DP(Displaced Person) camps, and a group called the Jewish Brigade Group was formed. There were huge pits full of slaughtered bodies Now it was the Nazis turn to be tortured, to wake up not knowing if they'd live another day. Adolf Hitler had his own group of violent henchmen, they wore piercing black uniforms with a skeletons head on their hats. They wore blood red arm bands with the symbol of the double s-rune. The image still haunts survivors to this day. Once the Nazi Empire was beaten, the ¨henchmen¨ were taken to the city of Nuremberg for a trial that lasted 11 months. All the evidence proved them to be guilty, 11 out of 21 Nazis were sentenced to immediate death, 3 were sentenced to prison for life, and in November 1946, 10 nazis were hung for their crimes. Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife, April 30, 1945. There are any different theories on how he died and some of them go along with the idea that the Holocaust didn't exist. This is why we need to go through all the facts before trying to convince somebody that something's…
Did the Holocaust Happen? Many people believe that the Holocaust was simply a hoax, that it is too hard to believe that it happened in the 20th century, especially in one of the most civilized countries in the world. While many people want to believe that something as tragic as the holocaust couldn’t happen, there is too many facts that can’t be ignored. With a major population disappearance, the staggering amount of victim and Nazi testimonies, and documents from the Nazis themselves, the Holocaust can not be denied. The Holocaust was a tragic but real part of everyone’s history.…
Five Points is, as the extended title boasts, "The 19th century New York neighborhood that invented tap dance, stole elections and became the world's most notorious slum." Unlike most subtitles that promise all by the moon and the stars, all these statements and more are absolutely true. The Five Points neighborhood quite literally defines the term melting pot, a mixture of cultures, faiths and political ideologies that was at one time volatile but also a source of amazing creativity.…

The Holocaust is the most horrifying crime against humanity of all time. Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non-supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme. One of his main methods of "doing away" with these "undesirables" was through the use of concentration camps. In January 1941, in a meeting with his top officials, the 'final solution' was decided (The Holocaust: Buchenwald). The Jewish population was to be eliminated. The people that were sent to concentration camps such as Buchenwald were treated horribly and it is unimaginable what they had to go through while they were there.…

The Holocaust was one of the most inhumane genocides in history. Millions were killed in concentration camps by gas chambers and crematoria; others died in combat trying to fight the Nazi regime.

Many of the Nazi physicians were captured, while others fled before the liberation of camps began.…
Up from the murky depths of the Middle Ages crept a devastatingly horrific and terrifying disease. Responsible for the deaths of millions, this disease, or plague was known as the Black Death. Although there is no certainty as to the location where the plague originated from, it is known that its deadly bacteria came from the foul belly of a single flea. When the Black Death began to take hold, unimaginable fear, panic and chaos swept through the hearts of Europe's people; the rich and the poor alike.…
The Holocaust, also referred to as “The Final Solution”, is considered to be one of the most deadly and extensive forms of genocide in American history.

They targeted many different races out of hatred, and the largest group being the Jewish population. This massive catastrophe resulted in the death of about 17 million people and six million Jews.…
It is hard to believe a little flea could kill almost 20 million people in Western Europe. The Bubonic, or “Black Plague”, began in China in 1334. The bacillus, Yersinia pestis, existed in all forms of the plague and caused it. The disease was carried in the bellies of fleas that attached to rats. The Black Death subsided in the Russian Steppe in 1351. Bad hygienic conditions in Europe helped the epidemic spread. European lifestyle also changed greatly during and after the disease. As the Black Plague spread rapidly through Western Europe, people tried a variety of techniques to protect themselves as the legacy of the epidemic changed their lives forever.…
By today’s standards, Ruggero Deodato’s 1979 Italian cult horror film Cannibal Holocaust is definitely not as shocking as it was during its initial release. You see, a movie like that released today wouldn’t lead to the eventual arrest of the director, a reality Deodato faced when the movie’s effects were deemed so real by Italian police that it was believed to feature real murder. Complicating matters were the contracts the actors signed which kept them from making media appearances, adding to the realistic allure of the movie. The actors were eventually forced out of hiding and aided in Deodato’s release, but the controversy didn’t end. The movie depicts the slayings of real animals. A turtle, pig, tarantula, coatimundi, and two squirrel…

The Irish were so reliant on this crop that nearly two million people died of starvation because of this extreme deficiency, and so the disaster is subsequently referred to as the Great Famine (Levine…
