Holocaust has its definition as the demolition or mass manslaughter through the use of nuclear weapons or by fire. According to the European Jews, the burnt sacrifices which were conducted in the altars were referred to us the Holocaust. Historically, it refers to the Jewish demolition and extermination by the Nazis and their accomplices, which resulted in the death of about six million Jews.
Dictatorship stood out as one of the significant threat which led to the massive genocidal acts. Dictatorship is linked to the fact that the ordeal came to happen during the reign of Adolf Hitler, who was a Nazi. The new regime ended the prevalence of democracy in Germany. Moreover, police officers were transformed slowly into the administration. Although they were not Nazis, they treated themselves as neutral and impartial servants. German humiliation in the World War laid blame to the democratic parties (Hochstadt, 2017). They go on to view the religion of the Jews as odd as they attributed it to as being inborn. It could never change even if a person were not of Jewish origin. Sponsorship came from the current government to subvert persecutions and genocidal acts on the Jews.
Resistance came into context as Jews courageously helped themselves gain emotional and physical strengths in the face of their demolition. Jewish council of elders distributed basic needs to the people. Jews sought documents to hide in the form of Gentiles as they formed underground military groups (Hochstadt, 2017).
In the final stages of the war, the Nazis try to hide evidence of the occurrence of the war. Several graves are dug and corpses put on fire, which explains the holocaust denial. They go on to term the acts as friendly treatment hiding the crude means they used to murder the Jews through gassing and annihilation.
In conclusion, the Holocaust created divided opinions among the Jews in terms of faith. Some abandoned the religion, while others put more faith in God as repression increased.
