Stage Five Of The Holocaust: The Final Solution

The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in history. Still to this day, people won’t speak of it. We are the last generation that survivors will live in. The holocaust took place between 1933, and 1945. It is said that there were around 11 million people killed. Six million of those people were Jews. The remainder disabled or thought useless by the Nazis. About 200,000 disabled were killed. Lead by Adolf Hitler, chancellor of Germany and Heinvich Himmler militia leader, the Nazis party attempted to fulfill the Final Solution. The Final Solution, the plan to take out the Jews.
