Who and why? By: Akbar  The holocaust didn’t just affect the Jews it affect a lot of other people. The holocaust did mainly target on the Jews and that was the majority of the people that were killed, but we can’t forget about the others that were killed. Beside the Jews, the homosexuals, physically handicapped or mentally retarded, Gypsies, Slavs--particularly Poles and Soviet prisoners of war, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, priests and ministers, members of labor unions, and Communists. Hitler was a crazy genius, because it one thing about being obsessed over killing innocent Jews and other innocent people. I call him a genius because he was able to do all of this for a long time and pulled it off for a while. He killed 6 million+ Jews and other people were killed." The Jew has always been a people with definite racial characteristics and never a religion." //-Adolf Hitler ( [|Mein Kampf]  ) //  The main question that everyone thinks about is why? Why would Hitler want to kill so many innocent people? Why did he hate these types of people? Well most of this happened while [|Hitler was growing]  up, his father used to beat him and his siblings died from a dieses and one died at birth. When he was 16 he quit school cause of his poor grades at that time, and when his father died from bleeding lungs and his mother from dieses. Another reason he quit school was because, he had the lung dieses his dad had. In conclusion he skipped school and became penniless soon. He then moved to Vienna. At that time he was like a hobo; living on the streets all the time. Vienna was the center of Jew haters basically; it was filled up with serotypes and people just saying bad this about other people, especially Jews. Since Hitler lived in this type of area when he was about [|16-18 years]  old, his mind just agreed with the stereotype people, and he started to hate Jews. In Vienna they also talked about homosexuals and handicapped people, so he started to hate them also. So, in 1940he became really popular in the government and everyone admired him, and as you know he started the death camps and killed 6 million+ Jews + others. back to question
