The Holocaust was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators between 1941 and 1945.
The Nazis considered Jews to be an inferior race that posed a deadly threat to the German "Volk."
Soon after taking power, the Nazis adopted measures to exclude Jews from German economic, social, and cultural life and to pressure them to leave the country.

As the war began in 1939, anti-Jewish policy escalated to the imprisonment and eventual murder of European Jewry.
The Nazis first deported Polish and western European Jews to ghettos, where they lived in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with inadequate food.
In 1941, after the German invasion of the USSR, the SS began massive killing operations aimed at entire Jewish communities.
By the fall of that year, Nazis established three killing centers in Poland—Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka—with the sole purpose of mass murdering Jews.
In the spring of 1942, Auschwitz-Birkenau was designated as a killing facility. The SS murdered approximately one million Jews at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Everything gets smaller as the government gets bigger. Liberty gets smaller, individuality gets smaller, goodness gets smaller, and human character gets smaller. This is not a political point on behalf of a political party. It is simply an observable fact. And it’s just common sense.
Now, no one denies that government can and must do certain things. There’s plenty for government to do. It’s the government that must protect us from foreign attacks. That’s why we have armed forces. It’s the government that must protect us from criminals within our country. That’s why we have police
