            The Holocaust was one of the most dehumanizing and horrific events in the history of mankind. In the 12 years that Hitler ruled Germany, 1933-1945, the satanic Nazis and their collaborators annLast printed 12/18/00 11:43 PMihilated more than six million Jewish people. In the beginning of 1933 about nine million Jews lived in 21 countries of Europe. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed. (www.mtsu.edu).
             Upon hearing evidence of such usurpations a number of questions arise. One of the most troubling is how can people claim to have not had any knowledge of the devastation the Nazis were carrying out? .
             Immediately after Adolf Hitler was named Chancellor on January 30,1933, he began to initiate his diabolic plans against the Jews. Once he had obtained the most powerful position in the German government he made swift actions to end democracy in Germany. .
             The Nazis began to put into action to their racial ideologies. The Nazis believed that the Germans of pure Aryan blood were racially superior to all other races. This was the implementation of The "Final Solution"- the decision or plans to completely destroy all European Jewry. .
             Hitler declared his anti-Semitism in the Mein Kampf, written in 1923. In Mein Kampf, Hitler outlined his beliefs that if Germany were to be a strong world power it must be united on the principle of purity. His ideas of extermination were not limited to Jews alone. He targeted homosexuals, physically disabled and mentally ill people as well. He was said to have made early statements in 1939 regarding Jews being completely destroyed if they plunged Germany into another world war. Clearly, Hitler's intentions were evident even before his rise to power. .
             By 1935 Hitler had implemented the Nuremberg laws. These laws were designed to establish the requirements of citizenship and the position of the Jews in the Third Reich and to ensure the purity of the Aryan race.
