Beginnings of the exterminations “FOR EVER LET THIS PLACE BE CRY OF DESPAIR AND A WARNING TO HUMANITY, WHERE THE NAZIS MURDERED ABOUT ONE AND A HALF MILLION MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, MAINLY JEWS FROM VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.” AUSCHWITZ- BIRKENAU 1940 - 1945 English memorial in auschwitz-birkenau concentration camp in Poland where many Jews faced the Nazi brutality.

December 12, 1941, Joseph Goebbels- “As concerns the Jewish question, [Hitler] is determined to make a clean sweep. He had prophesied to the Jews that if they once again brought about a world war they would experience their own extermination. This was not just an empty phrase. The World War is there, the extermination of Jewry must be the necessary consequence.”

For instance, 33,000 Jews of Kiev, in Ukraine, were killed on September 29 and 30, 1941, in a ravine outside Kiev called Babi Yar.

In the autumn of 1941 a new phase began. Until then the targets had been Soviet Jews, but now the killing was extended to Jews in parts of Poland and Serbia.

During1941 to 1942 there was a pause in the shootings because the frozen ground prevented the digging of pits for burying the jews.,[object Object]

The countries from which Jews were deported included countries under German occupation—such as Norway, France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Yugoslavia, and Greece.

First in line were the 3 million Polish Jews. Gassing commenced at three camps in the period from March to July 1942. Between 750,000 and 950,000 Jews were gassed at Treblinka; between 500,000 and 600,000 at Bełżec, and about 200,000 at Sobibór.,[object Object]
