The Setup

In the chaos of World War II, Nazi Germany embarked on one of the darkest chapters in human history. Under Adolf Hitler's regime, the systematic genocide of six million Jews, along with millions of others deemed "undesirable," unfolded. This atrocity, known as the Holocaust, was characterized by industrial-scale murder, driven by a twisted ideology of racial purity.

The Nazis, fueled by hatred and propaganda, orchestrated this genocide with chilling efficiency. Concentration camps and extermination camps became the bleak symbols of this horror. As the war raged on, these camps became the final destination for countless victims who suffered unspeakable cruelty.
