<http://remember.org/guide/facts-root-final>. This article goes over Hitlers "Final
Solution".
The "final Solution" was the Nazis solution to the Jew problem. Hitler rose to power and
in doing so convinced the nation that Jews were the problem of Germany. In the "Final
Solution", the goal was to exterminate every Jew in Germany and the lands annexed by
Germany. The original plan was to relocate the Jews to Madagascar, but the Final Solution
gained more popularity among German military officials and thus became the law of the Nazi
party.

Holocaust and Genocide Studies. 202. Web. 03 Mar. 2016. <http://www.holocausteducation.dk/holocaust/massedrapsmetoder.asp>.
This article discusses the biggest mass murder methods used by the Nazis and their
helpers. The Soviet Union also killed many Jews with these methods alongside Germany. Mass
shootings were first used to kill many people at a time. The victims would be forced to dig their
own graves and then shot and killed: their bodies falling into their graves. Gassing trucks were
used to be more efficient at killing many people. Similar to gas chambers, the victims would
suffocate. Gas chambers were the biggest and most efficient way to kill many people at once.
Gas chambers were filled with Zyklon B or exhaust fumes to suffocate the victims held inside.

and many others fell victim to the harshness of the Regime. In the camps, prisoners were forced
to do manual labor such as expanding the camps and building various buildings for Germany,
this forced labor was extremely cruel and led to a high mortality rate.

This article discusses the many reasons why the Jews were sought out to be exterminated
by the Germans and Nazis. The hatred of Jews predates the Nazis to Martin Luther. At the end of
the 19th century, Jews were thought to be a "deformity on the body politic". Germany wanted all
Jews gone, so they tried voluntary immigration, forced immigration, and many plans for
deportation. Judaism also has ties to communism which was the middle class biggest threat.

Mar. 2016. <https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/Zyklon.html>.

This article talks about the notorious Zyklon-B poisonous gas. This gas was used before
and after World War II in Germany. It was first used to disinfect and exterminate pests in ships,
buildings, and machinery. In the summer of 1941, Auschwitz was the first camp to use the gas to
kill prisoners. It was used experimentally, then after its success, it was used regularly in many
camps. It was produced by a firm call Degesche. The gas inserts into the body and stops the
process of oxygen being released from red blood cells, leading to asphyxiation, fear, dizziness,
and vomiting.
