which statements correctly characterize the holocaust and its toll? check all that apply.
about six million jewish people were killed during the holocaust.
allied troops were unable to liberate any camp prisoners.
german residents were forced to help bury the dead bodies.
the nazis led prisoners on death marches as the front moved closer.
the nazis tried to hide the truth by evacuating and destroying camps.
about 3,000 soviet prisoners were murdered by nazis during the war.

Explanation:

• It is well - documented that about six million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust.
• Allied troops did liberate camp prisoners, so the statement about them being unable to do so is false.
• There is evidence that Nazis led prisoners on death marches as the front lines advanced and they tried to hide the atrocities by evacuating and destroying camps. The claim about German residents being forced to bury dead bodies is not a universal or defining characteristic of the Holocaust toll. The figure of 3,000 Soviet prisoners murdered is inaccurate as the number of Soviet POWs killed by Nazis was much higher.

Answer:

• About six million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
• The Nazis led prisoners on death marches as the front moved closer.
• The Nazis tried to hide the truth by evacuating and destroying camps.
