GO TO THE LESSON

The first part of the lesson presents basic information about the Nazi ideology - how the Nazi party came to power in Germany, how it reduced democracy and liquidated political opponents, and how the antisemitic policy escalated. The second part describes the concepts of "protective detention" in the German Third Reich, the establishment of the first concentration camps, the reasons  for establishing Auschwitz as a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners, as well as the reality of life of prisoners. The last part is dedicated to the extermination of Jews both in occupied Europe and in the Auschwitz camp. A separate chapter tells about the extermination of Roma and Sinti.
