What word or words would you add to this wordle about the Holocaust ? What word(s) do you think are the key to understanding the Holocaust?



Words to add:  Jews, homosexuals, imprisonment, Hitler, propaganda, Swastika , Auschwitz, concentration camps, inhumane, gas chamber, Star of David, torture, Nazis, starvation, murder, walking dead, liberation

Good words: I think memory is a really strong word because the events of the Holocaust should never be forgotten. Silence is also a good word because while many of the Jews were in concentration camps, they had to keep silent most all of the time. Also, I believe dehumanization is a good word because the Holocaust was a perfect example of just that.

media type="custom" key="18910666" From reading through this timeline, not only did I become more aware of all the horror that the German Jewish population went through, but I also realized and learned that other groups were also targeted in the Holocaust. It's really ridiculous all the things that these groups of people went through. Also, it's unbelievable how long the whole world knew about it and didn't do anything at all to help. I believe, as evil as he was, The Holocaust was not only Hitler's fault because without his Nazi followers, it would never have amounted to the great measure that it did.
