Holocaust Memorial

Holocaust Memorial. . (top) , From 1933 until 1945, the National Socialist (Nazi) Regime in Germany implemented a racial theory declaring the “German Aryan Race” superior. The Nazis used this perverse theory and their military and industrial might to dominate Europe and to separate, imprison and ultimately destroy millions of human beings. Those who the Nazis deemed undesirable and sought to eliminate included political dissidents, homosexuals, the mentally and physically disabled, Roma (gypsies) and Jehovah’s Witnesses, but their chief victims were six million Jews., What began as racial laws to strip Jews of their livelihood, their property and their civil rights accelerated into a campaign to systematically slaughter millions of men, women and children. By 1942, the machinery of mass murder was in full operation. Jews and other victims from all over Europe were sent to some 9,000 concentration and labor throughout Europe, and the killing centers in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Sobibor, Majdanek, Treblinka, Belzec and Chelmno located in Poland., The denial of human rights, combined with advanced technology and a pitiless will to dominate others, caused the death of innocent millions and the annihilation of most of the Jews of Europe. , , , (front) In Memorium , to those who perished in the Holocaust 1933 - 1945. ,
