A Flood of Refuges  After Kristallnacht some Jews realized that violence against the was bound to increase. By the end of 1939, a lot of Jews from Germany fled to other countries. Hitler later conquered territories were millions of Jews lived. France, Britain, and the United States closed their doors to immigration after letting tens of thousands of Jews come there.

Ghetto CCCCity neighborhoods in which European Jews were forced to live

Isolating The Jews  He soon found out that he could not get rid of Jews in other countries so he came up with a plan. Hitler ordered Jews in all countries under his control to be moved into the ghettos. These ghettos were sealed off with barbed wire and stone walls. Some Jews formed resistance organizations inside of the ghettos. Inside the ghettos they formed secret schools, kept records so one day people could find out the truth.

“Final Solution”  Hitler's Program of Systematically Killing the entire Jewish population

Genocide  The systematic killing of an entire population

The Killings Begin  As Nazi troops swept across Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, the killings began. Units from the SS went from place to place to find Jews. The Jews were put into isolation camps and were killed but until then were prisoners.

The Final Stage  The Nazis built extermination camps equipped with huge gas chambers that could kill as any as 6,000 people in a day. When prisoners arrived at these camps they paraded in front of SS doctors. Where they were separated into groups from the strong (mostly men) to the weak (mostly children and women). There they were lead into chambers with fake shower heads that poured cyanide gas that would kill them in a few minutes.

Jewish Resistance  Jews rose up and fought against the Nazis even in extermination camps. At Sobibor in October 1943 and at Treblinka in August 1943 groups of Jews got together and killed the guards. In both of these attacks about 300 prisoners escaped, but most were still killed soon after.

The Survivors  About 6 million Jews were killed in isolation camps and in the Nazi massacres. Only about 4 million people survived. Risking their own life's non-Jewish people helped hid Jews in their homes. Those who survived from the camps had their life’s changed forever!
