Blog 2: Holocaust Dictionary

Adolf Eichmann was a Nazi official who administered the concentration camps. This is the most interesting and surprising entry in our holocaust dictionary to me. I was not aware that Eichmann was the man behind all of the death camps, ghettos, and the holocaust in general. Hitler was the name most heard, and in the pictures that were put up through out the world. When someone thinks of the word "Holocaust", almost always they think of Adolf Hitler. Yet, they should really be thinking of Adolf Eichmann. He organized all of this horrible time, and I was defiantly surprised that I had not heard of this name before. Through out all the years I have been in school and learning about the holocaust, I never heard of him. I think that teachers really should start teaching about him, along with Hitler, because he was defiantly a huge part of the Holocaust.
