Trail of Tears and Holocaust The Trail of Tears is similar to the Holocaust in that the culture of groups of people were almost destroyed. Whether it was their race or their religious beliefs‚ people who felt superior to them tried to destroy them. Many people were eliminated for what they believed in.

January 30th‚ 1933‚ a day that started it all. This was the day that marked the starting point of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very terrifying and horrific event. Killing an estimated six million Jews which is unthinkable. In Hebrew School‚ when I was about 11 years old‚ I first heard about the holocaust and what it was.

Approximately 30 doctors were stationed in Auschwitz to tend to the Jews ’ wounds and perform necessary surgeries. Out of those doctors came the infamous Josef Mengele‚ famous for his unique preferences in the medical field. Dr. Mengele ’s experiments were cruel‚ demeaning‚ and inhumane toward twins.
