Professor Neddy McMills The Holocaust was one of the most tragic and brutal time during the World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Jews were targeted and precisely murdered in the largest genocide of the 20th century. What started this horrific massacre was the notorious Adolf Hitler, the leader of Nazi Germany. After the start of World War II, Hitler the chancellor of Germany created a policy known as the “Final Solution.” From the Nuremberg Laws in 1935 to Kristallnacht in 1938, Hitler slowly removed Jews from German society. However, the Nazis created an elaborate and intensive system to work Jews to forced labor under brutal conditions. From the concentration camps created by the Nazi, forced labor was futile and destructive. The concentration camp forced the Jews to perish without proper equipment, clothing, nourishment, or rest. Because Adolf Hitler devised the Final Solution to eradicate Europeans Jews, more than one million Jews, labored and perish in Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp. Like what Fidel Castro said “There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.” After the start of World War II, the anti-Jewish law enforcers came up with a plan to dispose of European Jewry. To mask the true meaning behind their destruction, the Nazi Germany used certain language to disguise it. The meaning of the “Final Solution” means to annihilate the Jewish people. After Hitler’s rule of eradicating and segregation of Jews was applied, the “Final Solution” was set in stages. In 1933, when the Nazi Germany party finally achieved its power to support racism, this led to anti-Jewish legislation, economic boycotts, and the violence of the Kristallnacht ("Night of Broken Glass") massacres, all of this resulted isolating Jews from society and plan to get them out of the country. But Jews weren’t the only ones that were being a target. Physical and mental disabled people were also a target. Gypsies homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, prisoners of war, and etc, were all resulted in death, due to the Nazi’s tyranny. In January 1942, the Nazi started a deportation of all Jews from all parts of Europe; they deported the Jews to six concentration camps that were all in previous Polish territory, one including, Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the largest concentration camp, out of all camps. It was used for a labor camp and as a center for the killing of Jews. Auschwitz was a complex of camps, it consisted of a concentration camp, extermination camp, and a labor camp, all created by the German Nazis. Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau), and Auschwitz III (Monowitz), created the Auschwitz camp.

Victims who were spared immediate death by being selected for labor were systematically stripped of their individual identities. They had their hair shaved off and a registration number tattooed on their left forearm. Men were forced to wear ragged, striped pants and jackets, and women wore work dresses.
The Nazis marked all the Jews living in Europe for total extermination, regardless of their age, sex, occupation, citizenship, or political views. They were killed for one reason, and one reason alone - because they were Jews. At Auschwitz-Birkenau, the 'Final Solution' was put to the ground in Nazi-like efficiency:
In conclusion, the "Final Solution" was mainly was about random acts of terror against the Jewry, these acts included gassings, shootings, horrible disease, and starvation. These acts resulted in the deaths of more than six million Jews.
