Following Adolf Hitler's ascent to power in 1933, the Nazis launched a systematic campaign of discrimination against Jews. This included the passage of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, which deprived Jews of their German citizenship and fundamental rights.
The Nazis also began to isolate and segregate Jews from the rest of German society. They were excluded from public spaces, barred from working in certain professions, and forced to live in ghettos.
The Nazis also launched a campaign of propaganda against the Jews, portraying them as a subhuman threat to Germany. This propaganda helped to create a climate of hate and fear that would eventually lead to the Holocaust.
In the early 1940s, the Nazis began to implement their plans for a "Final Solution" to the Jewish question. This plan involved the mass murder of all Jews in Europe. The Nazis built a network of concentration and extermination camps throughout Eastern Europe, where Jews and other minorities were gassed, shot, and worked to death.
The Holocaust was a systematic, state-sponsored genocide that resulted in the death of six million Jews. It was a horrific crime against humanity that will never be forgotten.
