hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt"), also known as The
Shoah (Hebrew: ‫השואה‬, HaShoah, “calamity”
- was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews

definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic
murder of millions of people in other groups, including Romani,
Soviet prisoners of war, Polish and Soviet civilians, homosexuals or

Meaning
Antisemitism is prejudice against or hostility towards Jews often rooted in
hatred of their ethnic background, culture, and/or religion. In its extreme
form, it "attributes to the Jews an exceptional position among all other
civilizations, defames them as an inferior group and denies their being part
of the nation(s) in which they reside. Antisemitism may be manifested in
many ways, ranging from individual expressions of hatred and
discrimination against individual Jews to organized violent attacks by mobs,
or even state police, or military attacks on entire Jewish communities.
Antisemitism also often suspect Jews of consipring to harm non-Jews,
which often explains why are things bad.
Victims of the Holocaust, many states is reminiscent of
27th January, the day of liberation of the extermination
camp of Auschwitz - Birkenau by the Red Army...
In the words of the of the Nobel Peace Prize
laureate Elie Wiesel:
"Forget means
kill all the victims again. "
Hitler in 1922 in a private interview with Major Helle
said: "When I get power, the extermination of Jews to be
my first and foremost task." In another part of the
interview he also showed his bigotry: "I will build a
gallows in Munich, such as Marienplatz and the there will
be as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will
be hanged one after another and stay there until each
will get stinky... When you release a place on the
gallows, now on it will hang another Jew. This will
continue until they be destroyed all the Jews in Munich.
Exactly the same way it takes place in other cities until
Germany is completely rid of all Jews. "

Terezín - concentration camp; ghetto
in Czechoslovakia
During World War II, the Gestapo used Terezín, as a ghetto, concentrating Jews
from Czechoslovakia, as well as many from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands,
and Denmark. More than 150,000 Jews were sent there. About 88,000 inhabitants
were deported to Auschwitz and other extermination camps. It was liberated on
9 May 1945 by the Soviet Army.

Wroclaw professor Dr. Ing. Zunker, on Himmler's orders
to investigate the properties of Birkenau's water wrote:
"This water is not fit to wash his mouth."
Food quality was much worse than conventional food, by
which scientists calculate food's caloric value. In
Auschwitz prisoners receive a hard-working food daily
caloric value of only about 40%. It was less than required
to maintain a normal person's life without work and
movement. This malnutrition set in a gradual destruction
of the organism. Systematic and deliberate malnutrition
was one of the main reasons that people soon after the
arrival died.
