Destruction (Holocaust)
As a teenager of the year 3000 I want to take you back into a certain period of time. A time when people had their dreams and hopes stripped away from their future. The children of this period did not have the chance for freedom and equality. Like every historical event, the Holocaust evokes certain specific images. When the Holocaust is mentioned most people immediately think of concentration camps. People immediately envision emaciated victims in dirty striped uniforms staring in comprehensibly at their liberators or piles of corpses, too numerous to bury individually, being bulldozed into mass graves.

In late 1939, Hilter invaded Poland, beginning the World War II. In 1939, laws came about that pressured Jewish people. Not to own a business or have their children attend public schools. On September 1, 1939, Hilter took the first step toward his dream of building a "master race." The German attack on Poland was the first step in the offical slaughter of Jews outside Germany. While at home; in Germany itself, the authorized "mercy killing" of deformed and mentally ill people began. In 1941, Hilters' colleagues drafted up plans called the "Final Solution,"to get rid of all Jews and invaded the Soviet Union. Military groups known as the SS and a security service known as the SD mainly carried out the Final Solution. The security service arrested Jews and other victims, ran the concentration camps and organized the murder squads. During the first part of this extermination over on
