In 1921 Adolf Hitler became leader of the Nazi party. The Nazis were racists and believed that their Aryan race was superior to others.

To them, an Aryan was anyone who was European and not Jewish, Romany or Slavic.

Anthropometric devices were used by Nazis to distinguish Aryans from no-Aryans.

These devices measures the body parameter of particular race.

GHETTOSGHETTOS

A ghetto is a part of a city in which many Jewish people live separately from the main German population..

During the holocaust the creation of ghettos was a key step in separating prosecuting and ultimately destroying European Jew by the Nazis.

The majority of ghettos inhabitants died of starvation ,disease and shot dead or deported to killing centers. There were three type of ghetto, open ,closed and destruction ghetto.

First ghetto was established in Poland.in1939.warsaw ghetto

was the largest one occupying 400000 people in 1.3 square mile.

MEDICAL EXPERIMENTSMEDICAL EXPERIMENTS

A distinctive feature of Nazi genocide was the extensive use of human subjects in "medical" experiment.

The most notorious physician was Josef Mengele, who worked in Auschwitz.

His experiments included placing subjects in pressure chambers, testing drugs on them, freezing them, attempting to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, and amputations and other surgeries.

Kristallnacht or the night of crystal is referred to the night of broken glass. The name refers to the wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms which took place on 9 and 10th November ,1938.

The violence took over Austria, Germany and in German occupied Czechoslovakia.

This happened when on 7th November Jewish minor Herschel Grünspan assassinated Nazi German diplomat Ernst vom Rath in Paris.

This led to the violence in the street of Germany, window and door of Jew's house that made of glass had broken and spread on the streets.

Concentration camps were used as places of incarceration. The camps increasingly became places where Jews

and Pows were either killed or made to work as slave laborers, undernourished and tortured.

The Germans established 15,000 camps and sub camps in the occupied countries, mostly in eastern Europe

Gas chamber was a chamber used to kill masses of people by releasing toxic fumes in chambers.

The Nazis believed that Jews were a problem that needed to be removed. The mass killings of the Holocaust were what Hitler called "The Final Solution".

Reinhard Heydrich convened the Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 in Berlin's Wannsee suburb.

The conference's initial purpose was to discuss plans for a comprehensive solution to the "Jewish question in Europe."

The dining room of the Wannsee villa, where the Wannsee conferencetook place. The 15 men seated at the table on 20 January 1942 to discuss the "final solution of the Jewish question

Heydrich intended to "outline the mass murders in the various occupied territories . . . as part of a solution to the European Jewish ordered by Hitler .

To ensure that they, and especially the ministerial bureaucracy, would share both knowledge and responsibility for the final solution.

The wounds of the Holocaust–known in Hebrew as Shoah, or catastrophe–were slow to heal. Survivors of the camps found it nearly impossible to return home, as in many cases they had lost their families and been denounced by their non-Jewish neighbors.

The Allies held the Nuremberg Trials of 1945-46, which brought Nazi atrocities to horrifying light.

Beginning in 1953, the German government made payments to individual Jews and to the Jewish people as a way of acknowledging the German people’s responsibility for the crimes committed in their name.
