In Chapter 16, we learned a lot about what happened during WWII in Germany and in the US. Hitler was a very prominent leader at this time. He signed a nonaggression pact with the Soviet Union. While Hitler is gaining power, Japan bombs American soil at Pearl Harbor, causing the US to enter the war. We, then, attacked them with two nuclear bombs, thus, ending the war.
Back in Germany, Hitler is gathering up Jews, along with Gypsies, mentally ill, and the handicap. Mass killings of the people, or genocide was the result of Hitler believing he and his people were the superior race. The reason for this was that Hitler believed that Jews were to blame for their defeat in WWI. Only four million European Jews survived.
