In 1945, the Holocaust ended. Many people rejoiced and were very happy, but there was lots of work to be done. Camps needed cleaning up and trials needed to be held. There were some trials that were very important and popular. Some of them were even broadcasted on television. One trial, the Nuremberg Trials, was very popular. Several top German officers were tried, 4 judges were involved, and many people were sentenced to death.
Liberation, the act of setting someone or something free, is part of what ended the Holocaust. From 1944 to 1945, allied forces such as the Soviet Union, U.S. Forces, and Canadian Forces, freed many camps. On May 8, 1945, after most camps were liberated, the Nazi surrender was official.
