What was life like during the Holocaust? We are going to explore the different perspectives and accounts from multiple persons or groups of people
Victims of the Holocaust Jews were one of four groups racially targeted for persecution in Nazi Germany Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, and trade union leaders we some of the first to be persecuted Nazis also targeted Roma (Gypsies) on racial grounds The Nazis viewed Poles and the Slavic and so-called Asiatic peoples of the Soviet Union as racially inferior, and slated them for subjugation and forced labor.
Children During the Holocaust The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children, including over a million Jewish children German children with physical and mental disabilities living in institutions, Polish children, and children residing in the occupied Soviet Union. The chances for survival for Jewish and some non-Jewish adolescents (13-18 years old) were greater, as they could be deployed at forced labor.
