The final solution to the Jewish question

• The Nazis solution was to exterminate a whole
  race.
• 6 million Jews were exterminated and 4-5 million
  disabled and ethnic minorities.
• Thats a total of 10-11 million people.

unbelievable

  killed.
• They all had families and lives with pets and
  hobbies.
• 10 million is not just a number it is peoples
  lives.

• Imagine 100 times that number of people dieing.
• We get food every night, we have warm homes and
  dont have to worry about when and how we are
  going to die.
• These people did.

Mass Graves
A mass grave is a grave containing multiple,
usually unidentified human corpses. There is no
strict definition of the minimum number of bodies
required to constitute a mass grave. Mass graves
are usually created after a large number of
people die or are killed, and there is a desire
to bury the corpses quickly. But mass graves can
also be created during a war when there is a mass
executions of prisoners or people who are
thought as unequal.

Not just Nazi's

• Bosnians, Serbians, Koreans, Russians,
  Vietnamese, Cambodians, Rwandans.
• These holocausts or genocides happened for
  different reasons.

Srebrenica massacre
The Srebrenica Massacre in July 1995. this was
the killing of an estimated 8,000 Bosniak boys
and men, in the region of Srebrenica in Bosnia
and Herzegovina. The main killing was done by
units of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) under
the command of General Ratko Mladic during the
Bosnian War. The Srebrenica massacre is the
largest mass murder in Europe since World War II.
465 identified Bosnian civilians.

The afternoon of 13th of July 1995 Cerska Valley
The first large-scale mass executions began on
the afternoon of 13 July 1995 in the valley of
the River Cerska, to the west of Konjevic Polje.
One witness, hidden among trees, saw two or three
trucks, followed by an armoured vehicle and an
earthmoving machine proceeding towards Cerska.
After that, he heard gunshots for half an hour
and then saw the armoured vehicle going in the
opposite direction, but not the earthmoving
machine. Other witnesses report seeing a pool of
blood alongside the road to Cerska that day.
Muhamed Durakovic, a UN translator, probably
passed this execution site later that day. He
reports seeing bodies tossed into a ditch
alongside the road, with some men still
alive. Aerial photos and excavations later
confirmed the presence of a mass grave near this
location. Ammunition cartridges found at the
scene reveal that the victims were lined up on
one side of the road, whereupon their
executioners opened fire from the other. The
bodies150 in numberwere covered with earth
where they lay. It could later be established
that they had been killed by rifle fire. All were
males, between the ages of 14 and 50. All but
three of the 150 were wearing civilian clothes.
Many had their hands tied behind their backs.
Nine could later be identified and were indeed on
the list of missing persons from Srebrenica.

2022 of July 1995 Meces area
On 20 July to 21 July 1995, near the village of
Meces, Bosnian Serb military personnel, using
megaphones, urged Bosniak men who had fled
Srebrenica to surrender and assured them that
they would be safe. Approximately 350 men
responded to these entreaties and surrendered.
Serb soldiers then took approximately 150 of
them, instructed them to dig their own graves and
then summarily executed them. On 22 July 1995 an
excavator dug a large pit and Bosnian Serb
soldiers ordered approximately 260 Bosniak men
who had been captured to stand around the hole.
The men were then surrounded by armed Bosnian
Serb soldiers and ordered not to move or they
would be shot. Some of the men moved and were
shot. The remaining men were pushed into the hole
and buried alive.

When they opened fire, I threw myself on the
ground. And one man fell on my head. I think that
he was killed on the spot. And I could feel the
hot blood pouring over me. I could hear one man
crying for help. He was begging them to kill him.
And they simply said "Let him suffer. We'll kill
him later."
A survivors memory of the mass execution.
