What did Adolf Hitler do
The Holocaust
The Holocaust (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos : hólos , "whole" and kaustós , "burnt") also known as the Shoah ( Hebrew : השואה , HaShoah , "catastrophe"; Yiddish : חורבן , Churben or Hurban , from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the mass murder or genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II , a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany , led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party , throughout German-occupied territory. [ 4 ] Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed. Over one million Jewish children were killed in the Holocaust, as were approximately two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men."Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." Adolf Hitler wrote these words in his book Mein Kampf (1926), in which he first advocated the use of propaganda to spread the ideals of National Socialism -- among them racism , antisemitism , and anti-Bolshevism.
