still remaining before them many Jews, more millions, all over Europe and North Africa

who they wanted to capture and to bring to the murder centers in order to kill them.

And they embarked on that mission during the course of 1943 and the subsequent years until

the end of World War II, where the murder did not stop until the end of the war.

Auschwitz became ultimately the largest and most industrialized murder center of the entire

history. Auschwitz came online fully during the course of 1943. All of the gas chambers

at Birkenau, the murder center of Auschwitz-Birkenau, were online by the summer of 1943 and were

now prepared to kill all these arriving Jews: Jews from Greece, Jews from Italy, and the

peak - the Jews from Hungary. In the course of the spring and summer of 1944, some 437,000

Jews from Hungary were brought to Auschwitz and nearly all of them killed upon arrival,

in a period of just 8 weeks.

Ultimately Auschwitz murdered more than a million people, nearly all of them Jews. As

the Red Army approached Auschwitz, the Germans shut down the murder operation to Auschwitz

and they marched out the majority of the remaining prisoners, some 57,000 approximately, in a

death march through the snow without any previsions, shooting thousands on the way as they marched

them towards Germany, Only a few thousands were remaining in the camp itself when the

Soviets arrived on January 27th of 1945.

So if we come to sum up the Holocaust, we can say that the Nazis achieved some of their

goals, but they did not achieve all of their goals. They murdered 6 million Jews, the Jews

have never replenished their numerical numbers. If before the war there were between 16 and

17 million Jews, at the end of World War II there were fewer than 11 million. And today,

at the peak of Jewish growth since World War II, there are approximately 13 million Jews

in the world. They seriously damaged aspects of Jewish culture - Ladino and Yiddish and

other things. They wiped out Jewish communities that have never been reconstituted, and have

been essentially wiped off the map. In that sense the Nazis achieved some of their goals

but the Nazis also failed because the Jewish people are still here. The Jewish people did

not win World War II, the Jewish people survived World War II, but in that survival lies the

Nazi failure.
