Essay title: Death Camps in Germany

The Jewish population was systematically murdered by the Nazi party beginning in the spring of 1941. At this time to walk the streets of your own town, or even eating dinner in your house was dangerous if you were of the Jewish religion. Adolf Hitler viewed the superior race to be pure German. In his attempt to create the perfect race, he felt it was necessary to eliminate all that did not fit his ideal. The Jewish people were the complete opposite of Hitler's idyllic race. In the attempt to exterminate the non-ideal people, or "undesirables" as the Nazi's so chose to call them, he had six death camps created which included: Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Majdanek (1). These camps served only one function and this function was to kill. The death/extermination camps of the holocaust were effective and served their purpose, which was to exterminate the lives of "undesirables".

A controversial topic such as this would go nowhere without an argument against the point that these camps were effective. Nazi Germany's goal was to kill all the Jews in Europe, and this goal was not achieved. Also in the moral and ethnical issues, killing all those innocent people was wrong and horrible.

Although these arguments have a point, they simply are not valid.
