 * "... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again." - Anne Frank**

**The Holocaust**



//key to show where Concentration and Extermination camps are.//
In January 1933, [|Adolf Hitler] had taken over Germany. Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War 1 and economic hardships. The Holocaust began in 1933 and ended in 1945. Hitler had concentration camps stationed in Germany, Poland, France, and so many other places. One of the first Concentration camps opened in 1933 and it was called Dachau. Six extermination camps were stationed in Poland, the camps names were Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibór, Lublin, and Chelmno. Chelmno was the first extermination camp in Poland to begin operating, in late 1941.



In 1942, Germany had control over most of Germany. Territories from Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Belgium, and the Baltic states were seized by Greater Germany. The German military had land in Norway, Denmark, Belgium, northern France, Serbia, parts of northern Greece, and vast tracts of territory in eastern Europe. Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Finland, Croatia, and Vichy France were all allied to Germany or were under Germany's influence. Between 1942 and 1944, German military forces extended the area under their occupation to southern France, central and northern Italy, Slovakia, and Hungary.
