The Holocaust and it Stages

The following is an interpritation of information that I was taught during my trip to the Holocaust exhibit at the United States Air Force Museum from the Holocaust survivor Felix Weil.

1. Classification-The naming of people as either a "Jew" or "Aryan"
2. Symbolization-The Jude yellow star of David that all people classified as a "Jew" had to wear.
3. Dehuminization-Denying Jewish people the right to own property or coinside with non-Jewish people.
4. Organization-The SS starting under the ranks of Hitler.
5. Polarization- Seperating Jews from society and exiling them.
6. Preparation-Concentration Camps
7. Extermination-The Gas chambers at the camps.
8. Denial-Destroying the camps after Hitler's death inorder to cover up.
