  7. How did the Nazi’s try to hide murders? • The Nazi’s would try to bury or get rid of dead bodies because of the crazy amounts of murders • The Germans said that the Jews were resettling in eastern Europe • And when the Jews were moved it was as early as 5 am before anyone was awake

  8. Continued • Slowly information of what was going on began to leak out • Soldiers at home on leave would tell horrific stories about what they had done to Jews • American planes would also fly overhead taking pictures and our troops eventually stepped foot in German territory

  9. After the War • Roosevelt called this an “act of savages” • Everybody was in shock when all of these horrific things hit the media • Many, many Nazis had to go to court and were sent away to jail for the crimes they committed Then all of these “powerful” men went to jail

  10. Continued • The Nazi political party was banned from Germany • The ones that weren’t put in prison were executed • Others simply killed themselves before they got caught • War And Remembrance Part 7 BabiYar Massacre - YouTube
