The
truth of the photographs of the crimes and atrocities
included in this Holocaust project needs to be shown. The
photos may be of graphic nature and disturbing - before
providing access to younger learners, parents and teachers
should preview the sites and guide through what they may
read and see.
Adolf
Hitler,
murderer of millions,
master of destruction and organized insanity, was seized
by an obsession with the Jews all his life. The Nazi Führer
had always been straightforward about his plans - his
dream of a racially "pure" empire would tolerate
no Jews. He announced at many occasions the "annihilation
of the Jews" living in the territory under his
control. In Hitler's mind, murdering millions of Jews
could only be accomplished under the confusion of war -
from the beginning he was planning a war that would engulf
Europe ..
The
Holocaust was
the systematic annihilation of six million Jews during World War 2. In 1933 approximately nine
million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that
would be military occupied by Germany during the war. By
1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed
by the Nazis.
1.5 million children were murdered during the Holocaust.
This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children,
tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of
institutionalized handicapped children. Nazi persecution,
arrests, and deportations were directed against all
members of Jewish families without concern for age.
Plucked from their homes and stripped of their childhoods,
the children had witnessed the murder of parents, siblings,
and relatives. They faced starvation, illness and brutal
labor, until they were consigned to the gas chambers.
Here you find a few of the Jewish children of Auschwitz
- but there are no happy endings. The little children were
all murdered in Auschwitz during the Holocaust.
