The Holocaust

Nuremberg Laws• In 1933, Hitler proclaimed a one-day boycott against Jewish shops, a law was passed against kosher butchering and Jewish children began experiencing restrictions in public schools.

• By 1935, the Nuremberg Laws deprived Jews of German citizenship.

• By 1936, Jews were prohibited from participation in parliamentary elections and signs reading "Jews Not Welcome" appeared in many German cities. (Incidentally, these signs were taken down in the late summer in preparation for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin). U.S. Athlete

Marty Glickman was not allowed

to participate because he was a

Jew.

DEPORTATION

The labor camp Ebensee has a short but grim history.  One of the sub-camps of Mauthausen, it was opened on 18 November 1943. Of the approximately 27,000 prisoners brought here, more than 8,000 died before the camp’s liberation on 6

May 1945.  The death toll would have been higher, but many mortally ill prisoners were transported to Mauthausen, where 'superior' facilities could

'process' them more efficiently.

“Seeking water, people swarm to the water tanks and die even as they drink. The body of a young pregnant woman floats there,

near Tenma- cho.” - Ono Kiaki age 16

In the river in the early morning of August near YokoGowa-Bashi. Never before had I seen such an appalling sight. Spontaneously I fall

to my knees on the river bank and join my hands in prayer.”
