Title: The Holocaust
1The Holocaust
- In Germany they came first for the Communists,
and I didnt speak up because I wasnt a
Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I
didnt speak up because I wasnt a Jew. Then
they came for the trade unionists, and I didnt
speak up because I wasnt a trade unionist. Then
they came for the Catholics, and I didnt speak
up because I was a Protestant. Then they came
for me, and by that time there was no one left to
speak up. - --Martin Niemoelloer
2Book Burnings mind control
- A German poet once said, Where books are burned,
human beings are destined to be burned also. - Freedom of speech is the first thing to go in a
totalitarian facist government.

8If Jews are so different, why must they wear
badges for i.d.?
- Jews were forced to wear the Star of David on
their clothing to identify them as Jews.
Homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gypsies and
others also wore identifying badges.

12The Einsatzgruppen
- The earliest Nazi death squads simply lined
people up and shot them. This was not a very
efficient solution to the Jewish Problem. The
death camps would come later.

21- Enough photographic evidence (much of it taken by
Nazis) exists to prove the holocaust really did
happen. American G.I.s were horrified at what
they saw when they liberated the death camps.
22- Children were only the smallest victims. This is
a photo of a mass grave holding children.
23Medical experiments
- Human experimentation was carried out in the
death camps. Two children were sewn together
some children had their fingers cut off. People
were injected with horrible diseases.
24THE FINAL SOLUTION TO THE JEWISH PROBLEM
- The Einsatzgruppen or traveling death squads
could not kill people fast enough. The
concentration camps became the answer factories
of death
