Research post

My topic for my research paper is the stages of the Holocaust. I focused on how the Jewish people were treated during the Holocaust and how their treatment evolved. The Holocaust was a time when the Nazis systematically murdered almost six million European Jews. The Nazis murdered the Jews through a plan made to answer "The Jewish Question".  Through this extermination of the Jewish population, other groups were targeted as well. My topic is important due to the underlying aspect of anti-semitism throughout history.

My categories for my paper are the historical context, Jewish rights taken away, ghettos, deportation, and camps. These are the stages I chose to represent the evolution of the treatment of the Jews. It started with their rights slowly being taken away such as their citizenship. Second, they were isolated to ghettos that were under resourced and housed thirty to forty Jews in one home. Next, they were packed into cattle cars with no water and many died. Finally, they were sent to concentration or extermination camps to be tortured, used for labor, and killed.
