My Holocaust Discoveries by Amanda Johansson

1- Darth Vader was built on the knowledge of Hitler. He even had Stormtroopers which were Hitler's bodyguards. The Jedi's trying to over throw Darth Vader were like the Americans coming to the rescue of those in need (Jews). Darth Vader's followers also wore clothing in the movies that greatly resembled those of the Nazis.

2- Different prisoners of the concentration camps had to wear a certain color star on their clothing. Jews, of course, had to wear yellow. But other color stars were like brown, pink, and blue.

3-there were times called pogroms where riots were started against certain kinds of groups. These usually ended disastrously, sometimes with death. The first Holocaust pogrom was Kristallnacht or "The Night of the Broken Glass". Though this was the first, this wasn't the last. Many pogroms occurred during the Holocaust. These were packed with taking Jews away from homes and family.

I compare facts of the Holocaust with The Book Thief by pointing out that we met a pogrom in the book. On Hitler's birthday, on the of Mulching Street, there was a bon fire. This is where Nazis were burning anything and everything they could possibly burn that the towns folk were willing to give.
