To start things off, the word "holocaust" means destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, esp. caused by fire or nuclear war. Hitler was part of the Nazi group. He targeted mainly the Jews. During the war, Jewish citizens wore a yellow star. This was their culture and it was the Star of David. During World War 11, many where known to be important. The most important players in World War 11 were Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, and many more. The most important was Adolf Hitler. He was famous for something that has changed people's lives, and that was killing millions of Jews during the Holocaust. That was one unforgettable time in the world!

The word holocaust means the destruction or slaughter of people on a mass scale. Some places around the world in which genocide or holocaust have occurred are Herzegovina, Rwanda, Cambodia, Germany, Turkey, and also Russia. People and ethnic groups that were targeted by the Nazis were Polish people, gypsies, homosexuals, handicaps, and Jewish people. The countries that lost the greatest amount of people where Poland, Germany, China, and the Soviet Union. Some famous people in World War 2 were Adolf Hitler, which was famous for the killing of over six million people. There was also Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman, which were the presidents of the US when the war was going on. Lastly there was Winston Churchill, who was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the war. The stars during the war basically were branded on to Jews clothing, and helped identify them. Each star also symbolized the deaths of one hundred American soldiers that had fought in the war. In the end this was a terrible thing and I really hope that nothing like this ever occurs again.

The word holocaust means the destruction of human life and wholesale or mass destruction, especially of human life. The Nazi's amd Hitler targeted the Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies. The most people killed were in Poland, Germany, and the Soviet Union. Some of the most famous people during World War 2 was President Roosevelt who ordered the attack on D-day. Adolf Hilter had a huge army that no one wanted to mess with and he killed himself before the United States could get him. The star of david is what the Nazi's put on people to tell that they were jewish.

The word holocaust is defined as destruction causes great damage or loss of life. Yes one example is in Bangladesh. Winston Churchill once called a "crime without a name."During the summer of 1941, British intelligence began finding reports from Nazi killing squads in Poland about mass exterminations there in the wake of the German invasion. Turkey had the largest loss hands down. some imporant names where harry Truman and Adolf Hitler. Harry was president of the United States. The Nazi put yellow stars on Jews clothing so they knew who to hate.

A holocaust is a mass murdering of one or more specific ethnic group. There are many countries where genocide has taken place. Some examples are Somalia, Albania, Germany, and Cambodia. There are plenty more though. Any group that didn't have blond hair and blue eyes were targeted by Hitler, but the jewish were the biggest loss. Adolf Hitler, Musalini, and Hirohito. The star during the war was known as David's Star. It's like the cross for the jews.

The word holocaust means destruction of human life and wholesale or mass destruction. The Jews were targeted by the Nazis. All of the Jews had we wear a yellow star of David on the shirt. There were many important players in World War II. One of them that played a major 'part in this was Adolf Hitler. He was the one that planed all of this to happen. He was famous for killing millions of lives. The star of David was like a cross to the Jews and they had to wear them on there shirts so that the Nazis knew that they were Jews and then they would sent the either to a concentration camp or a death camp. This was one of the worst times in history!

To begin with, the word holocaust means the destruction or slaughter of people on a mass scale. One country I know for sure that genocide and holocaust have occurred is in Russia and Turkey! The Nazis were targeted greatly by Hitler and also those with disabilities. Also, those who didn't have blue eyes and blonde hair were targeted. The countries that experienced the greatest loss of live in World War ll were Soviet Union, Germany, Poland, and China. One person that had a big role in the war was Adolf Hitler. He killed millions of Jews in his concentration and death camps. The Star of David that was placed on them was to show that they were Jewish. It is like the cross is Christianity. In my opinion, this is the worst thing that has ever gone down in history!

The countries that lost many people were Germany, Poland. China, and the Soviet Union. One of the most famous person that was in the war was Adolph Hitler he was a big attack in the war. I would not consider him famous because what he did was not a good thing but he somehow is not famous for. The star was the Star of David and symbolized for Jews and who was going to be attacked from nazis.

Holocaust means mass destruction or slaughter. The Jewish and races other than white were targeted by the Nazis. Germany was probably most affected. They were the first country that it happened to and they probably didn't see it coming. Hitler was one of the main players of the holocaust and so was Winston Churchill. Hitler was famous for being probably the worst person alive and Winston Churchill was famous for never letting Germany take England over. The Star of David not only symbolized Judaism, but it symbolized hope and faith and not to never lose your hope and faith.

Holocaust means the destruction or murder of human life. Jews were targeted by Nazis and Hitler. Without blonde hair and blue eyes you were also targeted. Important people in World War 2 were Adolf Hitler, President Roosevelt, and more. Adolf Hitler was most important during that time. He killed many jews because he thought they weren't worthy of living. Al jews had to have the Star of David on them during this time.

Everyday would be scary, without blonde hair and blue eyes you would basically be killed. The most important person of the holocause was the leader Adolfo hitler.

A Jew wore a yellow star called the Star of David to show they were a Jew.this times was horrible and tones of innocent people died.

The word holocaust means to murder or destruct a human. During the holocaust it was very hard for a lot of people to realize what was really happening. If you didn't have the right color hair and eyes you were killed. Hitler was the one behind all of this. If you were found you were taken to a concentration or death camp. One of the main players was Adolfo hitler. The yellow star that people wore was to symbolize that they were a Jew. So that is just some of the stuff about the holocaust.

To begin with, the word holocaust means destruction or slaughter to cause a nuclear war. Plus, there was a main group of people targeted by the Nazi's. Those people were Jews and more! The reason why is because of Hitler made the whole country of Germany think that the reason they had lost WWI is because of the Jews. So, that made a big interest at killing the Jews. There are many countries that had a lot that they had lost. For example, Poland was one of the biggest lost countries to Germany and Hitler. The U.S.A., England, and Russia are some of the countries to help fight back against Hitler. Plus, they are famous for stopping the worst thing to ever happen to the World! To add on, there was a star that all the Jews had to wear, and it was the Star of David.

A Holocaust is a killing of many people. The main target for the holocaust was the jewish religion.One of the main players was Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of germany at the time of world war two. He also ran the nazis witch was an elite group of soldiers. At least in his perspective. He put all of the jews in consintration camps or death camps. He also put people like gypsies, homosexuals, and handi caps in thjere to try to over power the world. The country with the most deaths I think would have to be poland. I think it has the most deaths becuase it had the most major death camps in it. I had over three million deaths in that country total just by camps that was for jews and other people that Hitler did not like. The star in world war two was the star of david. Mostly wore by jews in the time of world war two. They had a little patch that they had to were if they where jewish.

The word holocaust means "destruction or slaughter on a mass scale." The word genocide means "the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation." Both basically mean "mass murder or mass homicide."

In the past, holocausts and genocides have occurred in places such as Poland, Germany, Hungary and Italy. In more modern times, the places include Sri Lanka, Somalia and Iraq.

The Nazi party targeted people who were Jewish mainly, but also Muslims, handicapped people and the mentally ill.

The most famous person recognized during World War II would be Adolph Hitler. He is more infamous than he is famous for his belief of racial purity. He is responsible for many, many death of Jewish people in concentration camps all through World War II.

The yellow "Star of David" was worn by Jewish people to identify them as being Jewish. They were sewn onto clothing. If a Jew was found without the star in public, they were subjected to severe punishment.

Some groups besides Jews that he targeted were the homosexuals, the blacks, socialists communists, anyone who opposed the Nazi ideology.The reason why is because he though that using these groups would help increase Germany in strength, and it did Under Hitler, Germany was rich because all targeted groups had their property taken away from them and given to the government for military and economic reasons, then made them work in labor camps, where they did things like mining. The most important was adolf Hitler. He was famous and changed peopels life.

The Holocaust was The Nazi's mass murdering of Jews. The Nazis caused the Holocaust by not only targeting Jews, but also other groups like gypsies. All; countries involved in WWII took heavy losses, especially Germany toward the end of the war. Hitler is the biggest cause of WWII, because he was the evil mind behind the Nazi Party and their ambitions.

A Holocaust is a killing of many people. The main target for the holocaust was the jewish religion.One of the main players was Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of germany at the time of world war two. He also ran the nazis witch was an elite group of soldiers. At least in his perspective. He put all of the jews in consintration camps or death camps. He also put people like gypsies, homosexuals, and handi caps in thjere to try to over power the world. The country with the most deaths I think would have to be poland. I think it has the most deaths becuase it had the most major death camps in it. I had over three million deaths in that country total just by camps that was for jews and other people that Hitler did not like. The star in world war two was the star of david. Mostly wore by jews in the time of world war two. They had a little patch that they had to were if they where jewish.

Holocaust means a lot of mass destruction or slaughter. The main country we hear about where holocaust occurred is in Germany when Hitler was arrived. It spread out from Germany later but hat was the start of it. The groups targeted by Nazis were people who weren't considered politically acceptable. Groups such as homosexuals and majorly Jews. Also, people who weren't Hitler's view of the perfect people. To be perfect to him, you had to have blond hair and blue eyes, even though he didn't. In World War ll the largest lose of life was in Germany. An important player in World War ll is Hitler; he started the holocaust. The star symbolized that you were a Jew back then; it is the Star of David.

In the Holocaust alote of people were killed. The main target though was anyone who was Jewish. And some people who were cripled, had some kind of mental health problems or anyone who the Germans found unworthy. Hitler would put the jews in the camps and he would kill the others right off. All the Jewish children under the age of two would be killed when theyn reached the camps as would the old. They would often just through the babys into a big fire and send the old into gas chambers or something. the star of david simbolized the Jews. If you where Jewish then you had to were the star on your cloths. Also if you had a store they would put the star on your door or window so people knew not to buy from them or they would put up a star.

To start things off, the word "holocaust" means destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, etc. caused by fire or nuclear war. Mainly germany and poland. They were called the nazi's who were against the Jews everthing they did they tried to stop basically they wanted to wipe the jew from exsitstence and life for them was horrible. Like I said they pread on Jews because they thought they lost the war because of the jews. the people who lost the most was Germany were Adolof Hitler was the russian and american's were coming in on both sides and he knew that he was losing so he killed himself. Adolf Hilter mainly, he was famous for leading the nazi's into rounding up the jews and putting them to slavery.The star of david means your a jew.

The word "holocaust" means destruction or slaughter on a mass scale. The countries that were affected by the Hitler were Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Denmark,Netherlands, Yugoslavia, and western Poland. Germany and Poland were the countries that were affected the most. The Nazis targeted Jews, Italians, people with special needs, Polish people, homosexuals, basically anyone who was not full blooded German. Hitler wanted the whole world to have blue eyes and blonde hair. The star in the war represented Jewish people.

When i think of the word holocaust i get sick and and very sad and angry. Adolf Hitler


Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany when World War II began. During most of the war he lived underground in a concrete shelter at his headquarters in East Prussia. It was here that Hitler controlled the German war effort. Hitler was extremely successful at the beginning of the war, defeating many countries and people became convinced that he was a military genius.
