Introduction.
The Holocaust has been termed as one of the most significant occurrences in history. It took place between 1933 and 1945, being termed by the country in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as “the systematic bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators”. This essay serves to explain more on the themes of history while evaluating the history of the Holocaust in the Third Reich, starting with anti-Jewish legislation, moving on to Kristallnacht and then focusing on the implementation of the policy to exterminate Europe’s Jewish population.
