Introduction to the Holocaust ‘Holocaust’ is a Greek word that more or less means ‘sacrifice by fire’. The Nazi regime, were under the impression that the Germans were ‘racially superior’ to the Jews and believed that the Jews were somehow lesser than them. The Nazis were also under the impression that the Jews were somehow a danger to the ‘racially’ superior German race. (Holocaust Encyclopedia, 2008) Under the Nazi regime; The Holocaust took place; around six million Jews were murdered in an organized, practical, state approved and stated aided massacre. For the period of the Holocaust, groups such as the Roma (Gypsies), Poles, Russians, the handicapped and anyone else who the German authorities considered racially inferior to themselves were prosecuted. Some of the other groups were persecuted due to the political or religious differences and for behaving differently to the Germans, amid them were Communists, Socialists and homosexuals. In 1933, the Jewish population of Europe was above nine million. Majority of the European Jews resided in countries that the Nazi Germany would rule or influence during and after the World War II. By 1945, the Germans along with their allies murdered almost two out of every three European Jews to eradicate any form of so called dangers to the superior Germans. After the Holocaust ended, most of the survivors were sheltered in camps for displaced persons (DP); these camps were managed by the united alliances. Then between the years 1948 and 1951, approximately 700,000 Jews immigrated to Israel, this number also included the 136,000 Jewish displaced persons (DP) from other European countries. Some Jewish DP decided to emigrate to the United States and various other countries. The last camp for the DP was closed in 1957. The inhumanity delivered to the Jewish population resulted in wiping out hundreds in the Nazi occupied/influenced Eastern Europe and over all the Jewish communities was deeply affected and devastated during the Holocaust.
