his chosen people in order to set an example of

holiness and ethical behavior to the world.

history back to Abraham.` Jews believe that there is only one God with whom they have

a covenant.

Torah, is called halakhah.` Spiritual leaders are called Rabbis.` 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust in an attempt to

wipe out Judaism.

people.` Abraham was the first person to teach the

idea that there was only one God; beforethen, people believed in many gods.

` The Holocaust was a tragic event in history.Approximately 11 million lives were lost because ofcruel racial prejudice. During the first half of the20th century, the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler,encouraged prejudice against Jews and other"undesirables" such as gypsies, homosexuals, thementally ill, or physically disabled; those not of the

"Aryan" race. The Nazis developed "The FinalSolution", a plan to get rid of all the Jews. Theydecided the most efficient way of doing this was toset up camps to exterminate their existence so theywould not pass on their genes and disrupt theNazis' quest for the perfect race. The Nazis also setup ghettos, where Jews would live in the mosthorrible conditions. Jewish children soon could not

go to schools with the other German children.Jewish businesses were forced to close,Jewishtemples were burned and vandalized. Though theNazis did not achieve their goal, they managed tokill 5-6 million Jews (and a further 5 million othervictims) in cruel, sadistic, inhumane acts andmurders.
