The Final solution ‘In respect of the Jewish question, the fuhrer has decided to make a clean sweep. The World War is here; the annihilation of the Jews must be the necessary result.’ A diary entry by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels about the Final solution.

What was the Final Solution? The ‘Final Solution’ of the Jewish Question was the organized murder of every Jew in Europe. The ‘Final Solution’ consisted of gassings, shootings, random acts of terror, disease, and starvation that accounted for the deaths of about six million Jews -- two-thirds of European Jewry.

In 1942, the Nazis began the systematic deportation of Jews from all over Europe to six extermination camps Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Majdanek.

The four largest gas chambers could each hold 2,000 people at one time. Escape from Auschwitz was almost impossible. Electrically charged barbed-wire fences surrounded the concentration camp and the killing center.
