The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah,[b]was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.[a][c] The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination through work in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz, Bełżec, Chełmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka in occupied Poland.[5]
The Holocaust has shown us that the frustrations of the majority are allowed to flourish and not addressed immediately it can create a lot of destruction on others whom the Majority loathes.
It was a very dark time in the 20th century where 6 million Eastern European Jews were systematically killed by Nazi Germany through state sponsored terrorism and genocide and another 11 million died as well; Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies, Slavs, Communists, Liberals, Homosexuals, Mentally and Physically Disabled etc.
We have to work hard to ensure that nothing like this happens again not just in other parts of the world but in the United States. Donald Trump has become in many ways the new Furher of the Fourth Reich here in the United States. He's using the mass media, using the Christian Right and taking over the Republican Party and transforming it into the Party of Trump. Instead of Jews being demonized its Hispanics, Muslims, Liberals, Gays, Critics of Trump and the Republican Party whom he has called as enemies of the state and feeding on the frustrations of the majority of Americans to have hatred and anger towards these groups where its gotten very dangerous in many parts of the country.
I pray that our democratic institutions learn from the past and not repeat the same mistakes from the past. When Fascism is allowed to grow it creates destruction in its path and nobody is spared.
