What Happened In 1933 the Jewish population went

over nine million. Many European Jews lived in countries that Nazis occupied.

During 1945 the Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews. Mostly Jews that were murdered by Nazis were primary victims of Nazi racism.

Germans and their collaborators persecuted and murdered millions of other people. Between two and three million soviet prisoners of war were murdered or died of starvation, disease, neglect or maltreatment.

The Aftermath. The Holocaust and its aftermath left millions of refugees, including many Jews

who had lost most or all of their family members and possessions, and often faced persistent anti-Semitism in their home countries.

When the war ended, Allied armies found between seven and nine million displaced people living outside their own countries. More than six million people returned to their native lands, but more than one million refused. Some had collaborated with the Nazis and feared retaliation. Others feared persecution under the new communist regimes.

The Aftermath: Anne Frank The writer of the novel called:

the Diary of a Young Girl, is the touching tragic story of a young Jewish girl that was forced into hiding during World War II. Anne wrote about her personal experience as a teenager as the war raged around her as she was a child. Anne was born in Frankfurt. Her family lived in two houses in Frankfurt before moving to Amsterdam in 1933.
