What you didnt learn or didnt know about the Holocaust.
Introduction:
3 Supporting Points:
-Starting with one of the biggest things most people don't even know what the word holocaust actually means.It is Greek for "holo-kaustos" which means whole burning.It refers to a sacrifice of an animal in which the animal is completely burned.It is also sometimes known as the "Shoah" which means Destruction.
-Many people think that only jewsin germany were killed during the holocaust while out of the estimated 11 million people killed, only 6 million of those were jews.The other five million people killed were from country such as Russia, Hungary, France, Ukraine, etc.
-Another thing a lot of people don't know is that there were actually separate concentration camps in South Africa set up for African Americans in which they were tortured and then massacred.Thousands of African Americans died.
