The Insider A! about Hitler

Hitler in 1937

Is the Holocaust finished?

By:Summer Spiegel The Rumors are true! The war has finally ended in Europe! Hitler has been dead for about a week, and the war is over! The question is how will Europe Recover from this tragic event?

The Holocaust was a genocide against mainly the Jewish religion, black people, and gay people.

Hitler has recently died only a few weeks ago, but the war is finally finished. The war started on January 30th 1933, and ended May 8th 1945 (today). This war has

been going on all over Europe. It is estimated that 11 million people died during the Holocaust.

Around 6 million of these people were Jewish. It all started when Hitler came into power and wanted the Jews exterminated.

Hitler was the leader of the Holocaust.

Before Hitler came into power, he slowly gained followers that would later help him build in army and take over Europe.

When he came into power in 1933, !

Over the course of 12 years Hitler killed 6 million Jewish people. He used gas chambers and extermination camps, and killing anyone who did not agree with him.

No one really knows the true reason Hitler started this whole mess. Some people say that he was messed up in the head, or just very very cruel. !

He used gas chambers, extermination camps, and many people died from exhaustion, starvation, or diseases. A mass of people would die every day because of this cruel man. People would have to leave everything behind to try to live a safe life. No matter where you turned the enemy was always near you.

Some families even stayed in tiny spaces with at least four other people. !

The Holocaust was a horrible event in history. Now that it is finished most people are happy but still grieving over their lost ones. What will happen now?

THE FIGHT AGAINST THE NAZIS! Hitlers ultimate goal was to conquer Europe and exterminate the Jews. At some point he did want to conquer the whole world, but he knew that was far fetched. so he decided to try to conquer all of Europe at first.
