WhatI Know About the Holacaust
I know that the Holocaust is a term used to depict the genocide of millions of Jews during World War 2. This was part of a plan of immediate execution by the Nazi forces made by Adolf Hitler. However Jews were not the only ones executed. Polish, Romans, Soviet Union, and gay men were executed as well. The primary reason for this mass execution was due to the Nazis believing that the Jews were a threat to the German racial community. Germans believed they had to kill any other groups because of their racial inferiority, and thus they had an ideology that they would need to kill their alien opponent. The autobiography Anne Frank projects the hardship Anne went through as a Jew. She had to live hiding and the only thing she could do was to write in her diary. This diary is now one of the most well known books.

Impressive vocabulary. :)
You seem to know a lot about the Holocaust, unlike me. I didn't know that the Holocaust had things to do with the Polish, Romans, and gay men. I thought it had only relations with the Germans and the Jewish. The Diary of Anne Frank really shows something different; I don't think that I could have the energy to write a journal about every single hard time I went through, especially if you knew that your life was in danger. I think that through this diary, we can learn so much. But I don't understand this part: "...Nazis believing that the Jews were a threat to the German racial community." Why did the Germans think like this?
You have a lot of good information here, Donghyun. :)
