3 interesting facts about the Holocaust by Kaleb Rasmussen

I don't know why but I really enjoyed reading about this.
1. I bet you didn't know even disabled people were prosecuted?! Hitler must have been really paranoid.
2. What Nazi really means is: in German: Nationalsozialistishe Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or, in English: National Socialist German Workers Party. Long eh?
3. Did you know that Swastika was used in many, many countries like: in Chinese it is Wan, England is Fylfot, Germany is Hakenkreuz, Greece is either tetraskelion or gammadion, India is swastika, and even the US used it in WW1 as Swastika. But, swastika translates to svasticka which means "su" meaning "good", "asti" meaning "to be", and "ka" meaning "suffix". So the word together means goodly or to be in good manner.
