OVERVIEW "Facing the Past: The Holocaust" The Holocaust refers to a specific genocidal event in twentieth-century history: the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims—6 million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped, and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, and political dissidents, also suffered terrible oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS "Who was Anne Frank?" "What is propaganda?" "Why/how does prejudice spread?" "How did many people make a difference during the Holocaust?" "How can YOU make a difference?"
