What word or words would you add to this wordle about the Holocaust ?

What word(s) do you think are the key to understanding the Holocaust?



<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Words to add: Jews, homosexuals, hanicapped, HItler, Auschwitz, concentration camps, Star of David, torture, gas chambers, Nazis, starvation <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Important words: I think the word dehumanization is very important when talking about the Holocaust because this was basically what HItler did to the Jews during his mass murder. He made sure to not only torture these men, women, and children physically, but mentally as well. Upon their arrival to concentration camps, prisoners were ordered to strip naked and their heads were shaved, as means of humiliation. The word HItler is very important too because he was the one who led this genocide.
