North Carolina Council on the Holocaust North Carolina Department of Public Instruction IV THE HOLOCAUST _____OVERVIEW_____ “How did I survive such hell? I learned to accept the nightmarish camp as the real world and coped from one minute to the next. Blind luck also played a part.” __Susan Cernyak-Spatz he term Holocaust comes from the Greek word holokaustos which means “burnt whole” or “consumed by fire.” Between 1939 and 1945, nearly six million Jews died in the Holocaust along with five million non-Jews. Among the non-Jewish groups the Nazis T singled out for persecution and murder were the Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, German opponents of Nazism, resistance fighters of all nations, and eventually all people of Slavic ethnicity. These were not accidental deaths or casualties of war, but planned mass executions. Along with these 11 million human beings, a way of life, an entire European Jewish culture rich in traditions, vanished as well. POLICY OF EMIGRATION ABANDONED In the prewar years, Hitler tried to rid Germany of its Jewish population by a series of harsh discriminatory laws intended to make Jews want to leave Germany. If this failed, he planned forced expulsion. With the war, the Nazis applied their racial theories in the conquered countries, particularly against the “subhuman” Poles, Slavs, Roma, and Jews.
