There are so many reasons for the Holocaust, but there’s not one single good answer to explain why this tragedy happened, the Holocaust was something terrifying!!! It would have never existed, so much pain, so much racism, someone who is capable to burn people alive is not human. Hitler must be burning in hell because of his acts, I hope so.
The main reasons are: racism, Germany’s humiliation following the Treaty of Versailles, hard economic times, international indifference and the great manipulative propaganda of Hitler’s Nazi Regime.

When Hitler came to have power in Germany he started giving speeches about the “inferior races” such as the Jews. He was supported by many politicians of that moment and that was the beginning of a great massacre.
They began with the media, anyone or anything who was opposing to the Nazi’s Rules were removed, like television, newspapers, radio and books. They burned a lot of books, mainly the one which were written by Jews, like Einstein.
According to Hitler, Jews were blamed of being the cause of the Germany’s problems, like economy.
Jews began to be treated well after the World War I, they had permission to work, to participate in any kind of activities, to have their own business, even they won a lot Nobel Prices, and fourteen of thirty eight prices were won by Jews.
Then, something changed, they were proclaimed as second-class citizens.
They were segregated from other people, Nazis destroyed their buildings, synagogues and they were not able to have business anymore. Jews were arrested every day, even women and children with no reason, just hate.
Jews were not the only race who was hated by the Nazis, black people, gypsies, scientists [who had the idea of changing the world in a better place], Jehovah’s witnesses and homosexual people were also burned and killed.
Many of them were put in concentration camps or prisons.
Jews tried to escape to other countries, they asked to be saved, but countries just made the escape more difficult, many of them made them harder to go out of Europe. Most of them weren’t able to get a visa.
The entire world criticized Germany because of Jew’s killing but they didn’t do anything to solve the problem.
