In section 1, i was never aware that Nazis used the term ''final solution'' to refer to their plan to murder the jewish people. It would have never come to my mind to know that final solutin, can possibly mean some chaos for the jews.
In section 2, what truly shocked me was that the Nazis killed approximately two-thirds of all jews living in europe. I was shocked because, two thirds of something is a huge portion of it.
In section 3, read and never knew that on april 1,1993, the Nazis instigated their fist action against german jews by announcing a boycott of all jewish-run business. I suppose that i just never found out, but now i know and i wish i didnt know.
In section 4, i read that the largest ghettos was in warshaw with the highest population reaching 445,000 people in march 1941. It was shocking to know that people were even alive at times.
In section 5, i read that one of the first concentration camps was dachau, which opened on march 20,1933. I was never aware of this because, i never looked in the right place to obtain the information about the first devistating camp of the Nazis.
