In 1934, the Nazi’s invaded many countries. This war went on for 11 years causing 17 million total deaths, 6 million of them Jews, 4.25 million children. Three-Fifths of these deaths were at concentration camps that the Germans controlled. At these camps, Nazi soldiers would go down the line of people and shoot the prisoners who would refuse to give information to them. If the prisoners were not shot, they would either die of starvation or be put in gas chambers. Once dead, they would be put in a huge crematoria, which would burn and dispose of the bodies. There were 156 of these camps. About 11 million deaths were caused by these camps.
Jews were Aldolf Hitler’s main target. Even though half of the deaths were Jews, almost 7 million Jews escaped to free countries like Sweden. Fisherman would hide Jews in their boats. When the Germans would have their dogs sniff their boat, fisherman would pull out a hankerchief that had chemicals on it. These chemicals would prevent the dogs from smelling. We caught up with Aldolf Hitler and asked him a couple questions. “We felt so stupid, to let 7 million Jews escape” He said. He later committed suicide on April, 30 1945. The Germans later surrendered on May, 8 1945.
