I picked this topic out of all the other ideas because in my college class we just recently finished reading a book called "Night" wrote by Elie Wiesel. Elie is a guy who survived the Holocaust, and he wrote a book about his experience of going through it. As we were reading it I became more and more interested from there. Every little piece of already knowing and learning from the holocaust I liked, and it caught my attention. The book itself was not the most interesting part, the things we learned before we read the book it just amused me. Also he did a speech on this topic and explained what he felt, and that had my eye too. From then on I was inspired, I needed to know more how, why, when, what, where, to see if it could ever happen again. I had to know everything; I was just a curious student.

What I already know?
Hitler is appointed the chancellor of Germany in 1934 and he is out to take over the Jews, so he lays down some laws that take away the Jewishs' rights. He is doing it piece by piece so none of the Jews or people will notice; being sneaky is the way to take over. The Jews are taken to Ghettos, which are fenced in places, with little apartment-like buildings. They are then moved in cattle cars to camps called "Concentration Camps", in these camps they are either killed or tortured. Some are not as bad as others though, it all depends on the leaders or Germans there. They take everything from Jews, there belongings, savings, valuables, anything they own basically. Then Hitler turned against the Soviet Union and attacked them one day. The Soviet then liberated all the Camps and Ghettos, and freed the people who survived them. All of that what I told you is the Holocaust.
