The Nazis harassed and brutalized the Jews throughout the 1920s during the "struggle for power." Speech after speech painted the Jews as Germany's "misfortune" and prophesied a time of reckoning. (McFee, Gordon, Are the Jews Central to the Holocaust? http://www.holocaust-history.org/jews-central)

Nazis came to power, the Jews were their first target. A boycott against Jewish businesses took place in April 1933 and the first laws against the Jews were enacted as early as April 17, 1933. The Jews were being progressively erased from almost every facet of German life. The Nuremberg Laws that were passed deprived the Jews of almost every remaining right and whatever freedom they had. In November 1938, Nazi hate against the Jews broke out into anti-Semitic violence, the event that took place that night became known as the Kristallnacht. Nazi mobs broke the glass in Jewish shop windows; they stole from Jewish apartments, torched synagogues, and sent thousands of Jews to concentration camps. Over 400 Jews were murdered and a fine was levied against them. In 1941 the Nazis decided to kill the Eastern European Jews by shooting them. By the end of the year they decided to kill all European Jews.

The red army went to liberate many other towns that were now empty of Jews where there were once thousands before the Holocaust. When the Nazis realized the end of the war was near, they attempted to remove all evidence of what went on in the camps. They dismantled the gas chambers, crematories, and any other buildings. They burned documents and evacuated all prisoners who could walk to the interior of Germany. When the red army marched into Auschwitz to liberate the camp on January 15, 1945, they found about 7,600 survivors abandoned there. More than 58,000 prisoners had already been evacuated by the Nazis and sent on a final death march to Germany. In late April, Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide. Then friends of theres carried there bodies to the garden placed their bodies in a shell hole form a Russian bomb, then they ignited it with gasoline all about them. As the U.S. army approaches and even though Hitler is dead the death marches continues. As U.S. troops entered camps the Germans were fleeing. The U.S. troops rescued whatever Jews are left but they did not have enough food to feed the starving Jews and many died of malnutrition. May 8, 1945, Germany surrenders. The Holocaust is now over.

There were six camps Auschwitze-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmnp, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Once a Jew was taken there they were first brought to be registered, received numbers on
