George Orwell
November 23, 1945 This second World War has been very devastating for everyone. Many people have died. Not only have soldiers died, civilians have died, innocent men women and children have died. The Jews had one the highest percentages of deaths. 19 million Jews were killed in Concentration Camps. (Jewish Population of Europe). Over 60% of Jews lived in Europe (Jewish Population of Europe). The Secret Police were behind these deaths. The Secret Police or the Gestapo killed many Jews by injecting lethal substances into their bodies, poisonous gasses, and shootings (Bülow). They forced Jews and people who were not Germans to work with no food or water (Bülow). The Jews were killed in mass murders (Bülow). The blood of Jews and Prisoners of War remain in the POW Camps of Auschwitz- Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, and Treblinka. |
