__  The Holocaust   __ The holocaust was one of the biggest events in world history. The rise of Adolf Hitler himself was the disaster of the century. It killed thousands and thousands of jewish people. These people were sent to concentration camps. They where forced to live in cramped areas called the ghettos. This all lead to what was known as the holocaust. The rise of Adolf Hitler started out in a slow process at first. Then it just seemed like minutes for Hitler to take over Germany. At first he started a nazi party. He was president of this party. Then a few years later he ran for president of Germany. Then before anything he was pronounced dictator of Germany. The tolerance rose between all germans and jews. During the holocaust most of the jews were sent to concentration camps. There they were forced to work all day and night. After a few weeks of forced labor the Nazi Soldiers looked over the workers to see if they were strong enough to keep working. The Nazi’s told them to line up in a line and they pointed which way to go. If they were not sufficient enough then the jews were told that they were going in to a shower to wash off. They locked the doors and within minutes the people were dead. This was also known as the gas chamber. They would slip pesticide in to the chamber that was deadly poisonous. The Jewish were forced to live in these cramped areas called the Ghetto’s. These were parts of towns that had walls around them. Most of the ghetto’s were located in poland. It was cramped and there were several families to one apartment. When the plumbing broke waste was thrown in to the streets. This caused nasty diseases to spread. If you did not live in the ghetto’s then you were sent to concentration camps. As you can see this was a disaster that effected and killed millions of jews. These people were killed in awful gas chambers. Here they were killed because they were not sufficient enough to work. They were forced to live in cramped areas. This all had to be tolerated by the jewish. So in this event tolerance was very important among the Jews.
