A diary entry by propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels about the Final solution.

18. 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.

19. 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.

Auschwitz was the largest camp established by the Germans. It was a complex of camps, including a concentration, extermination, and forced-labor camp

24. Auschwitz the worst of Hitler’s death camps

What can you understand about the Holocaust from this persons experience?
What can you learn about their feelings from the source?

So genocide on this scale never happens again
Many people believe that if we do not learn from past mistakes we then we are doomed to repeat them.
Its not only an important event in History but also for how we live our life lives today.
‘You can make a difference by the way you choose to live your life. But if you do nothing, you cannot pretend that you are unaware of what is happening.’
