Second Research Paragraph #2

In this blog post, I will be commenting on the topic of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, over six million Jews died. The Germans believed that they were superior to the Jews and that the Jews must be exterminated because they were a potential threat to society. The Jews were taken from their homes and moved into ghettos. They were then transported to concentration camps. Here, they would be required to do forced labor. The survivors of the Holocaust were moved into "displaced persons" camps set up by the Allied forces, and then moved from there. Even after the liberations took place, many victims still died because of the harsh conditions they were experiencing.
