Hitler’s ‘’final solution’’ killed six million
Jews.
The "Holocaust" is the period of history
between January 30, 1933, when Hitler
became Chancellor of Germany, to May 8,
1945, when the war in Europe ended.
From as early as 1935, Hitler introduced
anti-Semitic legislation, including the
boycott of Jewish shops and businesses.
The "Final Solution," or the plan for the
systematic murder of all Jews in Europe,
began in June 1941 with the German
invasion of the Soviet Union.
Around six million Jews - two-thirds of the
population of European Jews - were
murdered by the Nazis, including 1.5
million children.
Another six million people including three
million Polish …

After the annexation of Austria, and the Evian
Conference, Hitler seemed to throw caution to the
winds while the world stood by and allowed it to
happen. As Martin Gilbert comments, "It was a
neutral stance, not a hostile one, but this neutral
stance was to cost a multitude of lives."2 Murders,
killings, torture and forced labor in concentration
camps continued after Evian. In October Hitler
marched into the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia
and four months after the Conference
Kristallnacht, or 'Night of the Broken Glass' took
place when thousands of Jewish shops and
businesses were destroyed and many people
arrested and killed. Although protest was again
made in many parts of the world, the appeasement
of Hitler and governments' own agendas were
paramount over helping the Jews. Humanitarian
considerations were sacrificed to self-interest and
after war was declared, the allies' main thought was
that of victory and the refugee problem was
sidelined. After war against the Nazis was
eventually declared Hitler's 'Final Solution' to the
Jewish problem resulted in the loss of around six
million Jewish lives in the Holocaust

Founder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich
Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third
Reich from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and
Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces,
Adolf Hitler was born in Barona am Inn,
Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fiftytwo-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois
Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a
young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from
the backwoods of lower Austria, the young
Hitler was a resentful, discontented child.
Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he
was deeply hostile towards his strict,
authoritarian father and strongly attached to
his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose
death from cancer in December 1908 was a
shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.

In May 1913 Hitler left Vienna for Munich
and, when war broke out in August 1914, he
joined the Sixteenth Bavarian Infantry
Regiment, serving as a dispatch runner.
Hitler proved an able, courageous soldier,
receiving the Iron Cross (First Class) for
bravery, but did not rise above the rank of
Lance Corporal. Twice wounded, he was
badly gassed four weeks before the end of
the war and spent three months recuperating
in a hospital in Pomerania. Temporarily
blinded and driven to impotent rage by the
abortive November 1918 revolution in
Germany as well as the military defeat,
Hitler, once restored, was convinced that
fate had chosen him to rescue a humiliated
nation from the shackles of the Versailles
Treaty, from Bolsheviks and Jews.
