During the late 1930s, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party sprang into action. Hitler is commonly cited and linked to World War II, and became famous for his brutal dictatorship in Germany. Adolf Hitler began the persecution of the Jews with the belief that they were insignificant to the human race. Along with the Jews, he believed that the handicapped, the mentally ill, and the elderly did not deserve the right to live. This horrific genocide killed over 2/3 of the Jewish population in Europe. 6,000,000 Jews were murdered in concentration camps and mistreated by the Nazis. As is known, people normally recognize the term "concentration camp" and immediately refer to the prison camps to which Jews were sent during the Holocaust. In Corrie Tenboom's famous collective history of her imprisonment, The Hiding Place, she writes a visual description of exactly how Jews were treated in these camps. Women were forced to stand naked in front of Nazi guards for no reason and were made to feel less than human and animalistic. People were beaten and killed regularly. One of the worst parts of these camps were the barbaric gas chambers. Men, women and children would be tricked and dragged into the chambers in groups to resist and be massacred by the dozens. The concentration camps are what may be known as the cruelest and most barbaric part of the history of the Second World War. Various concentration camps were spread across Europe and Germany. Approximately 9,000 Nazi labor and concentration camps were set up by Hitler's powerful armed forces. Of these camps, the best known was certainly the infamous Auschwitz. Approximately 90% of the Jews killed during the Holocaust were killed in the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Located… in the center of the card… these events, it is important to explore more deeply the history of our world and learn about our past. The Holocaust was a genocide that can never be forgotten. Adolf Hitler was sadistic in his beliefs and after the war killed himself. Unfortunately, it took millions of deaths for the war to end. In 1945, the war between the Allies and the Axis powers was officially over, but the war between our faith in God and the world's view of our faith will never cease. As Christians, we will be ostracized for our love for Jesus until the day He returns. The Holocaust taught people to realize that, even in the most difficult situations, there is always hope and always light at the end of the tunnel. The perseverance of the Jewish people constantly reminds us to never give up. Even in this massacre there was an end. In this we see that the clear light of God shines through the darkness.
