The Holocaust

The Holocaust also known as haShoah, is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, as part of a program of deliberate extermination planned and executed by Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.

The Holocaust is a graphic example of the corruption, depravity and sinfulness of man.

Most of the videos and photos I researched concerning the Holocaust were too graphic and disturbing to include here. I also do not wish to go into graphic detail here, to describe all the horrendous and shocking things that occurred. Therefore I shall merely include some links below. Please note that some of the below websites contain disturbing photos.

For more information, see:
