Glossary about Holocaust

In this post, I will explain the most important words about my topic. I know that most of us would know them because it’s general culture but some of them you may not know what is their meaning. The Holocaust has added enormously to our contemporary lexicon. The names of camps, slogans, and terms coined by Hitler, words to describe terrifying to new events

Holocaust: Derived from the Greek holokauston which meant a sacrifice totally burned by fire. Today, the term refers to the systematic planned extermination of about six million European Jews and millions of others by the Nazis between 1933-1945.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS: Immediately upon their assumption of power on January 30, 1933, the Nazis established concentration camps for the imprisonment of all "enemies" of their regime: actual and potential political opponents (e.g. communists, socialists, monarchists), Jehovah's Witnesses, gypsies, homosexuals, and other "asocials." Beginning in 1938, Jews were targeted for internment solely because they were Jews. Before then, only Jews who fit one of the earlier categories were interned in camps.

three keywords related to Holocaust As we can see, into the graphic, Jews had more highlight than Nawis and Holocaust throughout history.  Another activity that we have to do was to create a graph about three keywords related to my topic, Holocaust. The graphic is created by an app, called   Google Books Ngram Viewer.  As we can see, Jews had the highly populated area in 1700. Over the course of the Holocaust and Nazis set to talk more about them in the Second World War from 1939 to 1945. Conversely, Jews had a minor community because they were killed by Nazis. Around the Second World War, Nazis killed 6 millions of Jews. During the War, the Holocaust was increased because there was the place where Jews go.
