Understanding the Holocaust: The Escalation to Genocide

The Holocaust was one of the darkest times in human history, and many wonder how it could have happened. The holocaust was the culmination of a decade-long, government-sponsored campaign of antisemitic propaganda. This evolved into legalized segregation, physical violence, and, ultimately, to genocide. Using artifacts and victim/survivor perspectives, we will discuss the escalation of hate from biased attitudes to bias-motivated violence during the Holocaust.
