Approximately 6 million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Hitler blamed the Jewish people as the source of Germany's problems. Strict laws were imposed on the Jews, such as wearing a yellow star of David to indicate that one was Jewish. These laws grew harsher and harsher, and the treatment of the Jewish people worsened. Kristallnacht, "the Night of Broken Glass" was when stores owned by Jews were destroyed and synagogues were burned. Soon, the Jews were sent to ghettos and then transported to death camps, if they were still alive. 2 out of 3 Jewish people during the Holocaust were killed.
