World War II **  1939 - 1945  During World War II many jewish people were taken from there homes and put into concentration camps to work there way to there death that was to follow a short period of time later. These camps were run by the Nazis. The Nazis were made up of non-jewish people who did not like the jewish and followed the order of a very awful powerful man named Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a very cruel person who blamed the jewish people for everything that went wrong in the world. He beilived that all jews should suffer for what they have done. Even though the jewish had nothing to do with the problems in the world Hitler had his mind set on the fact that it was there fault. This war mostly took place in France, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Czechoslavakia, Yugoslavia, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece and the Soviet Union. Many jews lost there lifes in World War II and this war deffinatly left a scar on the face on Germany and many jewish people.

World War II had a lot of impact later on in some peoples lives. People had lost everything once they were sent to the death camps. The little amount of people that were released from the camps after the war had pretty much nothing. They had lost all there family members there homes and all there money. Once they were free they had to start a whole new life. In the concentration camps the jews were tattoed a number on there arm to be identified. People still have thos marks till this day. Some say it was a remembrance of those the lost during the war or just something they would want to remember for the rest of their life because it was a very important time in there life.

The reason we chose this period as our favorite is because it was a very interesting event in history. A lot of people lost there lives and almost everything they had. It left a huge scar on the face of Germany and most jewish people. The events that took place during World War II were brutial and deppresing. Learning about what the jewish had to go through and how much they suffered really caught our eye and made us want to look into this subject more and learn about what great struggles innoccent people had. The jewish suffered alot there whole lives and some are still suffering with memory of what tragic events they had to over come.
