The Holocaust


By Hamster Spy - Posted on 01 December 2009

The Holocaust (World War II) was a horrible war in 1943-1948. That war lasted five years, and if you don't already know, it was when the Nazis took over Denmark and some o†her places. They would find all the Jews in schools and on trains and other places and take them to work camps. Then when the people were not needed any more, they were killed. They were put in gas chambers and were shot and killed other ways I don't want to name.

But there was a secret group of people called the Resistance who would secretly fight the Nazis. For example, when Jews were being sneaked out of Denmark to Sweden, the Nazis started to notice, so they would train dogs and have them sniff out where people were hiding on the boats. So the doctors and scientists made a powder that was made of dry rabbit blood and cocaine and when the dogs would sniff it, their scent wouldn't work for a short amount of time. After that, almost every captain would have one.

That sounds like a very hard time. I'm glad that I was born when I was! Good story! I think that it is good to know about that stuff! ~Ari
