The largest number of victims were European Jews. About 250,000 Gypsies were killed and 10,000 to 15,000 homosexuals. At least a million Soviet POWs died as did 50,000 African and European Blacks. Jehovah's Witnesses, common criminals, political prisoners and random individuals also were killed.
Millions of people died during the Holocaust, some were killed by machine guns while others died because their bodies just stopped working for starvation and abuse. There were many different kinds of victims, and each had a different colored triangle with a letter on it that they had to wear. Some of the victims were the Jews, Gypsies, people with physical or mental disabilities, and Jehovah's Witnesses. These victims were selected simply because they were disliked by Hitler and the other Germans.
Concentration camps are places where most of the victims of the Nazis were killed. The concentration camps were not a place where you could live and die peacefully. At these camps, the treatment was extremely harsh and cruel.

TaigaThe world was affected by the Holocaust and rightly so.
Jews, gays, and pretty much anyone who wasn't perfect. Everyone was affected, not just Jews. Disabled people, Jehovah's Witnesses, Brown people. Any one who didn't have blond hair and blue eyes and was at least average looking, if you weren't than you were basically dead. This was very hypocritical as Hitler had brown hair and brown eyes, but he didn't approve of it!On a personal level, it gives us insight into the human spirit, both the dark and the light. On a collective level, it teaches us that anyone can lead and anyone can be led. Hopefully, its greatest lesson is that we can learn from mitakes and never repeat them.
