This is a day set aside in April to commemorate the Holocaust as it evolved during World War II. Over six million people died in the Holocaust, through starvation, maltreatment, disease, and murder, among other ways. This month I was selected to research a quiz on the Holocaust, and through it learned many interesting things. There were an estimated 15,000 forced labor, concentration, and extermination camps built between 1933 and 1945. These camps held not only Jews, but also political prisoners, Romas, the disabled, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and homosexuals. Through my research I learned about the systematic horrors of the Nazi regime rounding up those people they deemed to be inferior. Today, remember the Holocaust, and how so many people were killed for simply being themselves.
