What role did the Holocaust play in the War

6. Life In Concentration Camps

7. Concentration Camps In Dachau, one of the largest camps in Germany proper, crematoria were constructed for disposal of corpses. There was also a gas chambers constructed at Dachau; however, there is no evidence to this point that they were ever used for extermination. Presumably, the crematoria displayed on the left were used for disposing of the corpses of those who perished from other causes. There were other execution devices at Dachau, such as a gallows, and presumably prisoners were executed and disposed of there.

11. A dictator named Adolf Hitler was in charge of Germany at the time. At this time he was trying to expand the living space in Germany. And also push for Totalitarian race. This need for the totalitarian race led to the genocide of Jews, in what is now known as the Holocaust. Beginning with racially discriminatory laws in Germany, the Nazi campaign expanded to the mass murder of all European Jews

12. During the era of the Holocaust, the Nazis also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.
