Near the End.

1. The Holocaust ended at the end of World War 2 in the years 1944-1945 . After Russia and the U.S won the war, the allies began to release prisoners from the camps.


2. hitler committed suicide with his wife Eva by a gunshot.


3. Reading this book taught me many things, it showed me the things that were going on in the world and still are. The Holocaust is a very big issue that caught my attention . many innocent people were killed just because of a cruel persons decision and it made me realize it can happen to anyone .

Genocide .

As it happened in the Holocaust , it also happened in other places around the world. Genocide also process in Rwanda , killing up to 1 million people which is about 20% of the countries population.This was similar to the holocaust as the prisoners were taken to the consentration camps and murdered if they did not do as directed.As hours , minutes, and even seconds passed , lives were lost. Lives of innocent people that were killed because of cruel ones.
