As the Allies swept to victory in Europe and camps were liberated across the once Nazi-occupied territories, the full scale of the Holocaust emerged.
Hitler’s grip on power was secured after a bloody purge that destroyed all opposition in the party. He declared himself Führer, or leader.
Hitler's anti-Semitic rhetoric had turned many Germans against the Jews. But a different propaganda strategy was needed for a global audience.
Germany invaded Austria and by September parts of Czechoslovakia too, drawing new territories under the regime of Nazi persecution.
The SS had started to develop plans to deport Jews to newly invaded Poland: the first steps towards the systematic murder that would follow.
German forces marched across Europe. Of the occupied countries, some capitulated and implemented Nazi policy immediately. Others held off for longer.
The Nazi policy on Jews moved from expulsion to containment to commanders being ordered to systematically murder the Jews of Europe.
More Jews were murdered in 1942 than in any other year of the Holocaust, the majority in the newly created extermination camps. Of the 430,000 sent to the first death camp at Bełżec in Poland, there were only two survivors. 700,000 were killed at Treblinka in just five months. In July, Himmler ordered that all Jews in key areas of Poland, except for those needed for essential labor, were to be killed by the end of the year.
Germany was now losing the war. Vital resources were still ploughed into implementing the 'Final Solution' – the extermination of all Jews in Europe.
