The Rise of Nazism in Germany
   
    This first came about with Hitler and the Nationalist Socialist Party.  With the huge war debts left from World War I, the Germans were facing a large economic decline.  Adolf Hitler gradually began to gain power by promising the Germans that he would restore their honor stability as a country.

The Racial Theories of the Nazis
   
    This first began because of the National Socialist ideology that "pure" races, the Germans, do not mix with the "inferior" races, the Jewish people.  It was also these beginnings of racial discrimination that lead to the idea that the "white race" is the master race.

Anti Jewish Policies: 1933-1939
   
    This was the time frame when Germany wanted to rid their society of the Jewish population.  In order to accomplish this, the Germans began to boycott Jewish shops and businesses.  Because this was occurring, the Jewish people were forced abroad.  The German people also stripped the Jews of their property in order to try to force them to leave.

Auschwitz
   
    This is the worst known concentration camp for the Jewish population.  It is well-known for contributing to most of the deaths of the Jewish people and was one of the strictest concentration camps during World War II.  This was also one of the main concentration camps where mass killings would occur.

The Destruction of European Jews
   
    Jews were continually forced out of their land and forced into concentration camps.  Here, they were forced into labor, made to follow German policies and German laws, and were beaten or killed if they did not comply.  Jewish people were often killed within gas chambers as a method of mass killing.  Since the members of the Jewish population were continually placed in poor situations, the Jews began to fall and the Jewish people began to disappear.
