Historical Figures

What were three civil rights that taken from Jews in the Holocaust?

- The right to life: Jews were systematically murdered in the Holocaust, with an estimated six million deaths. This gross violation of the most fundamental human right was carried out through mass shootings, gas chambers, starvation, and disease.

- The right to liberty: Jews were stripped of their freedom and held in concentration camps and ghettos. They were subjected to forced labor, abuse, and torture. They were also denied basic rights such as access to food, water, and medical care.

- The right to property: Jews were robbed of their possessions, including their homes, businesses, and financial assets. They were often forced to wear a yellow Star of David to identify themselves as Jews, making them easy targets for persecution.
