4Holocaust+Who


 * Who S.S.

When it came to Hitler's "Final Solution", not only were the Jews being affected by this, but so were the Slavs, Gypsies, German homosexuals, and mentally and physically disabled people. Many of the people from these ethnic groups were put into concentration camps or forced into labor camps. The extermination of these groups were very thought out and highly organized. Neighboring countries such as France, Poland, Holland, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. In Germany at the time, people of African descent did not live there, but for the ones that did live there were put into cleansing rooms and sterilized in hospitals without their parents consent. Homosexuals were forced to wear pink triangles on their clothing so they would be easily recognized to be put through more torture in the concentration camps. Even German citizens were killed if they refused to go against Hitler's harsh ways. As for the disabled, Hitler felt that their was no place for them in the camps, so they were put into gas rooms to be put to death just as a cat or dog would be. **
