It describes how the Gestapo secret police and SS military group hunted Jews and others, sending them to concentration camps or killing them without restriction. It explains that after WWI, Germany blamed Jews for economic problems and Hitler used them as scapegoats. On November 9th 1938, massive violence against Jews known as Kristallnacht took place, resulting in loss of dignity and identity for Jewish people as they lived in constant fear in the camps. Some communities risked themselves to help Jews, while others looked away out of their own fear.
