Judaism was originally founded in 3500 BC in the Middle East by a man named Abraham. Abraham grew up in a family that idolized more than one god. According to Jewish texts “Abram rejected his father’s religion from an early age and argued that the universe was the work of a single creator” (Pentateuch).

Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau, Austria on April 20, 1889; and he died on April 30, 1945.

In October, 1941, Jewish emigration was officially forbidden and the number of Jews in Germany had decreased to around 163,000. The majority of these 163, 000 Jews remaining were murdered during the
