    Hitler was a cruel man who believed that the Aryan race was the best race. He started the Holocaust to try and kill many Jews. He gained so much power because he brainwashed all of the Germans.

    The holocaust is a time in history when a man named Adolf Hitler gained power over the Germans after WWI. Hitler brainwashed all of the Germans and Nazis to believe that it was the Jew's fault that they lost WWI. Hitler then after a while started a big genocide to try and kill all of the Jews and undesireables with guns, gas chambers, putting them in the ghetto, and putting them in concentration camps.

    Hitler gets power of making decisions. After a few months, all other political parties besides the Nazis were eliminated. This allowed Hitler to get rid of all his rivals.

    Nazis needed a way to identify Jews so they could discriminate them. Nuremberg Laws defined people with 3 or 4 Jewish Grandparents as "Jewish" and 1 or 2 as "Mixed Blood"

    As the army advanced into the Soviet Union, these groups would round up Jews from the newly occupied areas and kill them... usually by shooting. Eventually the Nazis moved away from the Einsatzgruppen of "Mobile Killing Units" and planned to use death camps. I think the Nazis stopped doing this because it was wasting bullets that they needed for war.
