The gates to Auschwitz.
"Arbeit Macht Frei" those are the words that greeted the millions of jews that walked through the gates of one the biggest Nazi Concetration. "Arbeit Macht Frei" translates to work sets you free, a crule joke played on the helpless men, women, and children that entered the gates of Auschwitz.
Auschwitz wasn't orginally a concentration camp it was an old polish army base that the Nazi party had aquired once Poland was annexed to germany. Auschwitz is the largest of the concentration camps to dates. It was so large that it had to be spilt into three different camps and forty five sub camps, Auschwitz one, two, and three, spread over forty five squard kilometers of land. At Auschwitz one curel experiments ,such as castraction, were performed on innocent men, women, infants, and deformed and mentally ill people. The conditions weren't much better at Auschwitz two as a matter of fact the second camp is were they sent millions of jews to be killed if you were lucky you would be sent to Auschwitz three were you would be put to work.
The actual definition of holocaust is "destruction or slaughter on a mass scale" which is exactlly what the holocaust was. The holocaust, lasting from 1938 to 1945, was the mass exermination of jews in Europe. The mass murder of these innocent people was all apart of Adolf Hitler's "Final Solution". Hitler's final soultion plan was a method used to wipe all jews off the face of the Earth by using genocide or mass killing. It wasn't all killing fromt the start, at first Hitler seperated the jews from what he considered pure people by putting them into ghettos and establishing law such as Nuremburg laws which stripped all jews of their German citizenship and fored them to wear yellow davids stars. These laws were very similar to the jim crow law in found in the United states and they had the purpose, to sperate one group of people from another.
