Holocaust notes-

1.During the terrible years of 1933-1945, Hitler gained control and confidence of the German Nation. He had this perception that there was a perfect race; the Aryan Race. With that thought in mine, he decided that Jews, Homosexuals, Blacks, Gypsies, etc.. Must be exterminated.

2. The Big Numbers..
It is estimated that 11 million people were killed, 6 million were Jews. The Nazis killed almost two-thirds of the Jews in Europe. Nearly 1.1 million children were murdered! :(

3. Auschwitz was the largest and most powerful concentration camps. 4,000,000 people were tortured, and killed there. It had the largest gassing chamber which could kill about 150 men, at one time. Just think, that was 150 men! Men with families, they will never see again, families that will never see him, again.

The Book thief and the Holocaust have to do with many of the same things. They are in the same time era, and they both deal with Hitler, Concentration camps, separation of families, and the bond and strength of family member, and the love they show.
