Holocaust- Assignment 1 (Second Nine Weeks)

In the holocaust, nine to eleven million Jews were killed during World War I. the word "holocaust" comes from a Hebrew word, "shoah" which means calamity, disaster, destruction, and catastrophe. This was planned and executed by Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nazis) . Other groups were persecuted and killed by the regime, including the Gypsies, Soviets, particularly prisoners of war, Communists, ethnic Poles, other Slavic people, the disabled,homosexuals, and political, and religious dissidents. The Nazis preferred to call it the, "Final Solution of the Jewish Question."

The doctors received live bodies of these groups and made several discoveries. they would open the bodies while the person was still conscious. this is how they discovered how the heart,lungs,livers, etc. worked.
