Conclusion
WWII is one of the most significant events of the 20th century whose repercussions can still be felt to this day. Hitler’s and the Nazi’s answer to the “Jewish Question” called for the extermination of the all ethnic Jews throughout the whole of Europe. But Hitler’s ideals did not limit him to stop with just the Jews, it soon morphed into any race or peoples that he deemed unworthy to live or opposed his quest of Lebensraum for the German people. In all approximately 11 million people saw their lives brutally taken from them in the concentration and extermination camps throughout the German occupied countries of Eastern Europe. Today we memorialize sites throughout Europe to never forget the horrors and atrocities committed against the victims of WWII.
