The Holocaust
By Paul Le Vine and Michelle
Legge
The Holocaust
The holocaust was an event in WWII that
involved the Nazi Germans capturing and
killing Jewish men women and children.
It Started in 1938 and finished in 1944 and
there were about 6 million Jewish people
made victim of it
The Nazis
They were a political group in Germany
that came into power in 1925 .They
were lead by Adolf Hitler
Their symbol is known as the swastika
and
their
full
name
is
the
Nationalsozialistische
Deutsche
Arbeiterpartei.
The Camps
The march into Auschwitz was never going to be
the most warm welcomes but what they did
was un-dignifying and wrong. The Jewish men
and women were marched into the camp then
their heads were shaved and their clothes
taken off them. They were then given just a
grey dress if you were a woman and grey
trousers if you were a man. People who were
too sick to survive were thrown in ditches
with the dead to die.
Revolts
Many of the Jews who did revolt did not
survive but they still made a huge
impact upon the Nazis. In birkenau at
one of the four crematoriums the
Jewish prisoners there smuggled
gunpowder and made little grenades
made of metal shoe polish cases.
Frank Bright’s Story: the
beginning
Frank Bright was born in 1928 and spent
his early years in the capital of Germany
(Berlin) and both his dad and his uncle
fought in the first world war on the
German side.
But because they were Jewish as soon
Adolf Hitler came into power he
removed their names from war
memorials.
Frank Bright’s Story:
schooling
But in 1935 Frank began to attend a
Jewish school in Berlin but like other
Jews could not attend an “Aryan” school
witch was just one of the restrictions on
the Jews during Hitler's dictatorship.
And in 1938 the family moved to Prague
and there he attended another Jewish
school where all the students had to wear
the Jewish star
The Jewish star
The Jewish star
The Jewish star was forced on Jews
during the Nazis rule and was used as a
form of categorisation of people like
branding a cow or marking something so it
stands out from everything else.
