Overview the Holocaust and D-Day
World War II was one of the most gruesome wars in all of history because of the torture of Jews, known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust is responsible for the death of over six million Jews by, Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. Hitler was the dictator of Germany that rose to power after the success of the Nazi Party. Hitler believed Germans were the superior race and that Jews were inferior, which is why they were either enslaved or sentenced to death in concentration camps. The most comparable occurrence of genocide to the Holocaust would be the reign of Joesph Stalin in the Ukraine. In order to stop Hitler from further damaging the country, a major battle needed to commence; that battle was D-Day. D-Day was a battle commenced on June 6, 1944, by the Allied powers, including the United States, Great Britain, and even Canada. On this day the western front was opened for attack against Germany by passing through France. Prior to D-Day, Russia was the only nation directly attacking Germany, but now that the western front was vulnerable, Germany could not defend themselves any longer.
