Thanks Asim, this is Sabei Aung reporting from Germany about some of the causes and effects of the holocaust. Adolf Hitler strongly believed that Germans were superior in many ways to every other race. Hitler’s principle, he believed all Germans should control the Europeans. Many say that Hitler had a disease of paranoia that possibly led to his actions. Anti-Semitism, one of the causes, is a prejudice to Jews religiously, racially, and ethnically. This led to six million deaths of European Jews; The German Nazi’s killed the Jews. This conflict, which lasted from 1939 -1945, also killed Romans, Soviets, Prisoners of war, priests, and Gays. Many of the Jews were also taken to into Extermination camps, also known as slaughter camps. Concentration camps, and forced labor camps were also created. CNN news, back to you Asim.

Thanks Lucas, Now let’s relate the holocaust to some of the conflicts we have learnt in M1. Clearly, Racism is one of the main topics of conflicts. The German Nazi’s were racist to everyone that was not superior to them. Another one is Nationalism, for believing that the Germans were more superior to the Germans. Religion is also another important topic because they wanted to wipe out all the Jews because they believed that they were useless. Thank you, and take it away Lucas.
