The Darfur-Sudan Genocide and the Holocaust are just two of the many massacres of certain groups of people that have taken place all over the world. The Holocaust was the persecution and extermination of Jews, Gypsies, disabled people and homosexuals (Holocaust). The leader of the Holocaust and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (the Nazis) was Adolf Hitler (Holocaust). He came to power in Germany in 1933 (Holocaust). Ghettos and concentration camps were created to isolate anyone the Nazis did not consider “pure” (Holocaust). The Holocaust took place between 1939 and 1945 (“Introduction”). The Darfur-Sudan genocide began in 2003 and continues today (“Darfur Genocide”). A government-backed militia called Janjaweed killed and destroyed non-Arab villages (“Darfur genocide”). General Al-Bashir of the National Islamic Front led the persecution (“Darfur: A History” 18). The Holocaust and the Darfur-Sudan genocide are similar in that their countries and leaders had the same economic status and mindset, but they are different in the way the United States and others countries were involved and in the type of war that was taking place.

Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis, convinced the German nation to believe that in order to become a stronger country, it must kill or mislead everyone who was not what he believed to be "pure" Germans (Holocaust).
