“There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. You've already escaped the gravest danger: selection. So now, muster your strength, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves.We are all brothers, and we are all suffering the same fate. Help one another. It is the only way to survive.”

"For us, this is not a problem you can turn a blind eye...
For us, it is a problem of...whether the Jewish spirit can ever
really be eradicated. Don't be misled into thinking you can fight a disease
without killing the carrier,...this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself,
the Jew, has been banished from our midst."

"The Holocaust refers to the period
from when Adolph Hitler became chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933 to the
day World War II officially ended on May 8, 1945. During this time, Jews in
Europe were subjected to progressively harsher persecution that ultimately led
to the murder of 1.5 million children and 6,000,000 total Jews. This total
included two-thirds of European Jews and one-third of all world Jewry. These
Jews were the victims of Germany's deliberate and systematic attempt to
annihilate the entire Jewish population of Europe. Hitler called this plan the
"Final Solution." The persecution of Jews in Europe resulted in the more obvious
surviving accomplices being tried at Nuremberg."
attacks on shops
In 1938 Jewish shops, homes, and synagogues in Greater Germany were
vandalized by Nazi storm troopers. All Jewish store windows were broken. This was known as Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass." 30,000 Jews were sent to concentration camps where 2,000 died by Christmas in 1938. Jews were ordered to move into designated Jewish apartment blocks in large German cities called ghettos surrounded by barbed wire and high walls cut off from surrounding areas . Here Nazis controlled the supply of food and medicine which led to higher death
rates.
Deportations and exterminations
Mass deportations and exterminations began late 1941 when the first routine deportations from Berlin and other cities began. The first mass gassing began at Chemlo using mobile vans with the exhaust directed into the cab in December of 1941. Large extermination camps were later established in the next few months at Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Birkenau, and Majdanek. The bodies of those killed were destroyed in crematoria, or on outdoor pyres. The largest death camp built was Auschwitz-Birkenau. It possessed four gas chambers and crematoria which killed approximately 8,000 people a day. In total 500,000 people were slaughtered in one room; the most in any one room in world history. In 1942, the most horrific phase of the Holocaust began. More than 1.7 million Jews were killed at death camps.

“I must first and foremost state categorically that whenever the superior
requested them, there were enough volunteers for execution squads. This was the
case also in Jósefów,” which was their first killing operation. “I must add
that, in fact, so many volunteered that some had to be left behind.” Adolf
Bittner p.128
“It did not at all occur to me that these orders could
be unjust. I was then of the conviction that the Jews were not innocent but
guilty. I believed the propaganda that all Jews were criminals and subhumans
and that they were the cause of Germany’s decline after the First World War. The
thought that one should disobey or evade the order to participate in the
extermination of the Jews did not therefore enter my mind at
all.”
