The Holocaust: 1939-1945 6:30 pm-8:00 pm
On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland and started WWII. German officials confiscated Jewish property, in many places required Jews to wear identifying armbands, and established ghettos and forced-labor camps. Often drawing on local civilian and police support, Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) followed the German army and carried out mass shootings. These years saw systematic deportations of millions of Jews to increasingly efficient killing centers using poison gas.(From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.)
