As you may know, today is the holocaust memorial day.

What was the Holocaust?

The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by the Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. In 1933 approximately nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be occupied by Germany during World War II. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed. Jews were the primary victims -- six million were murdered; Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic or national reasons. Millions more, including Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.

A week back or so i had to go on a school trip to this holocaust centre in Nottingham, i thought it was going to be pretty boring since it was trip for history but i knew i had to go, but to my suprise it was actually quite fascinating... we listened to two survivors who SURVIVED the holocaust barley and they told us how they were captured, looked after by a german lady who was put in the concentration camps because she helped her jew husbaned who died by that time in the gas chambers. They also told us that how the germans just forgot them, as they called each jew for the cattle train from the list, they managed to forget this jew and sister, so they escaped from there and hid out untill take a boat over to the UK. So it was pretty much intresting and a once in a life time oppurtunity to have a chance to listen to these survivors, and i think i really appreciated it

Anyway you may see some news on this in the papers, or on tv, then again you may not, but think about if you was put in there position :mellow:

Systamatic killing was bad. But it was what Hitler thought 'God' wanted. Hitler was a very smart man and if you don't agree with me then your retarded and have not read anything he did, besides the Holocost which was NOT ONLY the jews but also Germans and others.

But if you were Jewish, which is a religon NOT a race, then you knew this was going to happen because EVERYONE picked on the jews and used them as scape goats. Back in the 1400's-1700's they were killed just like they were by the Germans.
