At the beginning they made life hard for the Jews in Germany and all over Europe. Later on, they decided to kill them. This mass killing was called the Holocaust. After 1939 about 6 million Jews were killed in the countries that Hitler controlled. Hating Jews and treating them badly is called anti-Semitism. In 1935 the Nazis passed a new law . On November 9th and 10th, 1938 the Nazis destroyed all Jewish synagogues and other public places the Jews went to. The Night of Broken Glass Soon thousands of Jews were arrested and locked up in special camps . The Nazis decided that they had to solve what they called “the Jewish problem” once and for all . Those who were lucky became slaves . Words

Anne Frank's diary, which was published by her father after the war and has been read by millions of people around the world, chronicles both the tensions and difficulties of living in such a confined space for that long a duration as well as Anne's struggles with becoming a teenager. Since the publication of her diary, Anne Frank has become a symbol of the children that were murdered in the Holocaust.

Hédi Fried överlevde Auschwitz De visste inte vart de kommit. Efter tre dagar föstes Hédi Fried, hennes mamma, pappa och syster ut ur den överfyllda godsvagnen. Framför dem stod den ökände nazisten Josef Mengele. Innan tågfärden började hade de fått höra att de skulle till det inre av Ungern. Men det var inte där som tåget stannat. Utan i Auschwitz - det största av nazisternas utrotningsläger. Över 1 miljon människor mördades i Auschwitz, de allra flesta judar. Hédi Fried, i dag 90 år, är en överlevande som kan berätta om fasorna. – Det var som att leva i en grå bubbla. Hédi Fried, eller Hédi Szmuk som hon hette som ogift, var 19 år när hon och hennes familj deporterades till Auschwitz. Hon hade haft en lycklig barndom och vanlig uppväxt i en judisk medelklassfamilj i staden Sighet i Transsylvanien i norra Rumänien. – Egentligen började förändringarna 1940, när ungrarna annekterade Transsylvanien. – Men den 19 mars 1944 kom tyskarna till Ungern och därmed till Sighet. – Han stod där med sin piska.
Memoirs & Diaries Many of the combatants of the First World War recorded the daily events of their experiences in the form of a diary. Some were subsequently published after the war and have become celebrated. Many more, however, remained tucked away in cupboard drawers for years, unpublished and unseen. With the advent of the world wide web, an opportunity arose for the descendants of many survivors to publish fragments of diary entries for the education and interest of others. This section of the website brings together a collection of such pages. Also featured within this section are personal narratives written by survivors who relate a given aspect of the war, be it trench conditions, or their part in a specific attack or action, as well as the testimony of such participants as nurses and chaplains. One in five of the Australians and New Zealanders who left their country to fight in the war never returned; 80,000 in total
World War II: Home Front World War II, or "The Good War" as it has often been called, ushered in new opportunity, new prosperity, and an entirely new lifestyle for many Americans. Wartime mobilization pulled the American economy out of depression by employing millions and invigorating the nation as a whole. "The Good War," however, didn't provide the remedy for many social problems, and in some cases rapid population movement, concern over national security, and wartime rhetoric only exacerbated racial, ethnic, and class-based tensions at home. Another world war... and so soon after the first! Let's recap: the declaration of war in 1917 came only after careful deliberation and debate—lots of it—between President Woodrow Wilson and many vocal government officials. This time around, facing a new world war, the American people were not fooled by abstract goals. Imagine what this kind of fear, paranoia, and sense of utter urgency might do to a nation. But war doesn't always bring the best out of a nation's people.
