Nazi Leaders in WWII

             Many people have contributed to the cruel treatment of human
             beings, specifically Jews, in Nazi Germany during the second World
             War. This is a report on the damage carried out by some of the Nazi
             criminals working under the rule of Adolf Hitler. Many people
             contributed in Hitler's attempt to carry out his 'Final Solution'.
