Kept captive and forced to work. Slavery was part of the Holocaust, but the Holocaust was not part of slavery. Slavery has been around for thousands of years, it has been part of most cultures, and all of the larger ones. The Holocaust lasted only a few years and affected only Europe and only a few generations.
The Holocaust was the Nazi regime's shameful 'secret', and photography was forbidden in the camps and ghettos. However, some SS men did take a few photos, and there were a few carefully chosen 'official' photos of what the Nazis called 'Resettlement in Eastern Europe'. In the Lodz Ghetto, the head of the Jewish Council had a kind of photographic record kept, but this was most unusual. Many of the negatives have survived.
The Nazi regime itself took steps to hush up the holocaust. The extermination was supposed to be kept secret ... The extermination camps at Belzec and Treblinka were destroyed in 1943 ... When Soviet forces approached Auschwitz, the gas chambers were blown up and records destroyed - by the Nazis. A few mavericks and cranks denied the Holocaust in the 1960s but gained little attention. Holocaust denial on a large scale started in the 1970s. It went hand in hand with claims that Zionists had exaggerated the Holocaust in order to win sympathy internationally for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This made Holocaust denial popular in much of the Middle East.
Two ways victims of the holocaust preisoners were kept were in the cells where they had to work in order to survive and 2nd they had to sleep with 20 to 30 other people. When the workers were too week or werent able to work were showerd by the gas.
The holocaust showed how evil man can be and the horrible things we are capable of if left unchecked. It shown light to the fact that very evil acts can be committed and kept very secret if done properly. It also showed that the church that we put so much faith in and look to for guidance will be silent if it fears for it's own safety. It also showed the true power of the mob mentality affect.Although communistic governments have had "purges" that eliminated millions of people, the Holocaust was carried out by the fascist Nazi government of Germany. Communists were among the victims of the Holocaust, not the perpetrators.Most importantly we can evaluate the importance of education and knowledge because one thing Hitler did was attempt to stifle the intelligence of his militia as well as the citizens of Germany. He was an extremely bright leader who was an amazing speaker. He just had one fault which allowed the extermination of six million Jews and over five million others for the various reasons.
