Holocaust trains crammed with Jews arrived daily at the concentration camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, where six crematoriums worked day and night to incinerate the bodies coming out of gas chambers. To consummate the “Final Solution of The Jewish Problem,” sanctioned by Adolf Hitler, extermination camps in Nazi occupied Poland also sprung up in Dachau, Belzec, Majdanek, Sobibor and Treblinka. The Nazi SS (Schutzstaffel) officers, corrupted by a pernicious ideology of “Aryan Supremacy Theory” dehumanised and obliterated fellow humans by day. Yet, they adorned the role of normal human beings — loving husbands and fathers — by night.
Nazis regarded Jews as ‘subhuman’ and ‘vermin’ and therefore warranted eradication from the social fabric. The Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, which recounts the horrors of the holocaust, records that 4.5 million Jews perished in the genocide. The Holocaust marked the tragic culmination of centuries of antisemitism in Christian Europe. But the global community can continue to denounce the horrendous massacre of Jews without being labelled as bigoted and anti-Germany.
