Hitlers Final Solution
... on the night of Nov. 9, 1938. Germany's Jews were also required to pay a fine of $400 million for damage to their own property.” Third, emigration was to be applied to the Jews of Poland. For example, three million Polish Jews were subjected to a Blitzpogrom of murder and rape. Also they were issued a ghetto decree, and were increasingly fenced off from the rest of the population. Many died of disease and starvation (285 Keegan). The fourth solution was to murder as many as a million Jews; the aim of the killing squads was to eliminate Jewish life altogether. For example, between 1933 and 1938 the Nazis boycotted Jewish businesses, established quotas in Germany's professions and schools, forbade intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles (Saul S. Friedman).

Shofar said, “Conflict actions existed in almost every concentration camp and ghetto of Europe. In addition to the armed revolts at Sobibor and Treblinka, Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto led to a courageous uprising in April-May, 1943, in spite of an unsurprising doomed outcome because of better German force. In general, rescue or aid to Holocaust victims was not a main concern of resistance organizations whose principal goal was to fight the war against the Germans. However, such groups and Jewish resistance fighters sometimes cooperated with each other to save Jews” (Shofar). The aftermath of the final solution was unbelievable to groups around the world and stories from survivors were far more than what anyone thought. Shofar has said, “After the war, the SS decided to empty remote concentration camps. The Germans tried to cover up the evidence of genocide and deported...
