The Holocaust was an evolution of anti-Semitism, scapegoating, and targeted violence against Jews with Nazi policies. A resource unpacks the escalation in violence, along with the erosion of democratic institutions, during the 1930s. Activities such as discussion of survivor testimony and analysis of chronology help young scholars understand the sequence of events that culminated in the "Final Solution."
