Responses to Persecution.
The holocaust was a very tragic event that happened during the Second World War. Approximately 6 million Jews were killed in Germany and some of its surrounding countries during the holocaust. This was where 1/3 of Jews were kicked out of the country, and another 1/3 was sent to work, and the last 1/3 that were to old or ill or young to work were killed. It was the most significant persecution of Jews in the history of mankind. The cause of this anti-Semitism was brought on by the success of Jews in the German society, such that the anti Jews were envious of the Jews success. However, the more sinister reason for which influenced Adolf Hitler had derived from the philosophy of evolution, founded by Charles Darwin in the 1800's. This was advanced by such people as Herbert Spencer, in the 1900's, who believed the inferior beings among us ought to be eliminated in some way, e.g. by eugenics. Hitler applied this kind of 'policy' to advance the Arian race by eliminating all inferior beings e.g. Jews. This was a part of his wartime policy; the 'Third Reich'. He did this by stirring up hatred against the Jews and having them rounded up and sent to labour camps or concentration camps. Many were put to death in the concentration camps. The method that was regularly used was gas chambers.
