Throughout the Holocaust, the Jewish people suffered in many and varied ways. Jews suffered under the “Final Solution” plotted by the Nazis. The Final Solution was a plan implemented during World War II to systematically exterminate the Jewish people in Nazi-occupied Europe. This resulted in the deadliest phase of the Holocaust, the destruction of Jewish communities in continental Europe. The leader of the Nazi regime was Adolf Hitler, who believed that there was a perfect race, namely the Aryan race (Bohm 4). The Aryan race had blue eyes and blond hair, although Hitler himself was not Aryan. Throughout the Holocaust, the Jewish people suffered physically, psychologically and financially. Jews endured physical suffering during the Holocaust. As part of the Final Solution, Jews were forced, against their will, to abandon the lives they had previously led and live in concentration camps. In both types of concentration camps, labor camps and extermination camps, suffering was persistent. Concentration camp captives were usually killed on the job or simply killed by an officer of the Schutzstaffel, a protection squad operating under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime, for no logical reason (Ariel 2). Another horrible way of murdering Jews was the gas chamber. Jews were commonly told that they were going to the toilet, when in reality they were slowly being killed by Zyklon B, a powerful poison that caused a painful death within ten minutes of inhalation and physical contact.
