Holocaust
The Holocaust began during this time. This was one of the most disgusting piece of history in my own opinon. Hitler and the Nazi's killed millions of Jews. It was horrific! Hitler tried to purify the human race, or in other words create a supiorier race. He set up concentration camps and extermination camps too! During this time If the Jews didn't listen to the orders they were usually shot.They were beaten, only given little amounts of food, and were forced to live in small bunkers. -
History
The Second World War was the most deadly and destructive war in history. Seventeen million military people died in the war. Civilian deaths in the Soviet Union and China alone were 30 million. Allied forces first attack Iwo Jima. The marines successfully won the battle, but with a struggle. Japan sent kamikazes to attack the marine landing force. In the end Japan gave up and signed a statement surrendering. -

Assasination
Kennedy got assasinated while driving with his wife in his car. He died in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963. He was shot by Lee Harvey Oswald who later got killed by Jack Ruby. This was such a gross thing to witness and it was a very emotional time for the whole country. He was an amazing leader. -
Woodstock
It was basically a huge party. It was a rock festival for performers to perform. Woodstock Festival was a three-day concert (which rolled into a fourth day) that involved lots of inappropriate things, drugs, and rock 'n roll, plus a lot of mud. The Woodstock Music Festival of 1969 has become an icon of the 1960s hippie counterculture. -
