Auschwitz was a German concentration camp. It was a very complex camp, it had a concentration camp and extermination camp and a forced-labor camp all in one place.

Bombing of Hiroshima
Harry S Truman was the president of the United State when we decided to drop a bomb on the country of Japan. We game the Japanese people many different chances to surrender and they never did.

We decided to drop the bomn on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, seconds after we droped it, it exploded, after the town layed in rubble.
