Remember the Holocaust Published April 3, 2012 By Tech. Sgt. William Carter 90th Missile Security Forces Squadron F. E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- Each year, members of F. E. Warren and the local Jewish communities join together in order to remember individuals who were forced into concentration camps and murdered. As we come together to remember those affected, it is important to stand back and take a look at what took place during World War II and what Hitler and his Nazis did to members of the Jewish community. It was during Hitler's earliest days as ruler of Nazi Germany that concentration camps began to fill with those who were viewed to be inferior to Germans. With the creation of the concentration camps, Hitler's "Final Solution" took shape later during the 1940s and soon led to the murder of more than six million European Jews along with more than 400,000 other individuals ranging from gypsies and homosexuals to the mentally and physical disabled who were viewed as inferior or dangerous. During the Holocaust, families were torn apart and separated, then forced to live and work in inhumane conditions. As World War II began to come to an end, Hitler and his Nazis began shipping more and more people from Nazi-occupied Europe into concentration camps where they were systematically murdered and experimented on by Nazi scientists. At Auschwitz, one of the most well known concentration camps, prisoners were led into showers designed to be used as gas chambers and were murdered in large numbers. Furthermore, prisoners were forced to clean the chambers and bury the dead in mass graves. While members of today's generation may never be able to adequately commemorate those survivors who made it through the Holocaust, together everybody can help inform others of the atrocities which led to the death and displacement of millions in order to prevent such an act occurring in the future.
