For the first time, on 1 April, 1933, the German began to fight with the Jews, especilay they hitted to the business of the Jews: Nationwide boycott of Jewish. This brought many problems to the Jews as their economy was destroyed through this action. The Nazi regime also introduced many rules to the Jews in order to seperate them from the German. In September of 1935, they issued many laws which thoroughly hitted to the Jews. They prohibited the marriages between the Germans and the Jews and to co-op with the Jews. Some laws excluded them from the public places such as libraries, parks, hotels...etc.

Wooden bunks

 Day by day, the rules were stricked by the Nazi. In hospitals, the Jewish patients were ignored and all the Jewish children were expelled from the all the public schools. At first the Nazi regime commanded to the Jews to live seperate area, called Ghettos.In  1938, they established concentration camps and began to sent the Jews to thosr camps. They seperated the women, men and the children and sent them to different camps. In concentration camps the Nazis used them as labours, especially in factories.They did not provide any facility to the Jews, even sometimes they did not provide much food, but they took many hard works from the Jews and also they did not provide sufficient place and provided wooden bunks to sleep.
After few years they began to murder them. At first, they shooted randomly. They did not care whether that person is a child or not. Sometimes most of them were murdered infront of their family members.Because of this most of the parents lost their children and vice verca. The Nazi regime used many ways to murder the Jews at once. Putting them to a gaz chambers is one of the methods that they used to murder them. More than six million jews were murdered.
Nowadays there are many films which are directed about this.

 All these movies describe the actions of the Nazi regime and how the innocent Jewish individuals suffer.
