You could say not at all, but because he knew about it and had a position of authority within the government that was perpetrating the Holocaust; you could say that he holds some responsibility.

What effect did the Holocaust have on France the the French people?

It had different effects. France has (and especially in the 70's and 80's) the highest number of Holocaust deniers of any nation involved in the Holocaust, it was even in the mainstream media. Much of France was ashamed of their record during the Holocaust, denial was one way to deal with it.


What was Fritz Sauckel Job in Holocaust?

As General Plenipotentiary of Labour Deployment, Sauckel was chiefly responsible for the commission of slave labour. His complicity in the "Holocaust" merits debate. Fritz Sauckel's death sentence has been much the contentious subject among historians. Sauckel's ministerial responsibilities were part of Goering's "Four Year Plan" the so-called economic solution for greater Germany. The common misconception is that Albert Speer was his direct superior on account of his demands to meet the quota of foreign labourers in his munitions divisions. This assertion is incorrect, as Goering was effectively his direct superior. It is true that Speer inherited vital economic responsibility from Goering with his assumption as minister of armaments, but the policy of acquiring foreign labour was enabled by then armaments minister Fritz Todt and Hermann Goering. Moreover, the mistreatment of dragooned prisoners was ultimately left up to the discretion of the respective commandant of the division, not Sauckel. He expressly stated in a memorandum to his delegates of foreign labour that the men and women be treated accordingly with adequate care. In this sense the mistreatment of foreign labourers falls neither, on Sauckel, or on Speer for that matter.


What determined the final solution of the Jewish question on January 20 1942?

The Wannsee Conference on 20 January 1942 was short (about 90 minutes) and was only concerned with co-ordinating the various agencies involved in carrying out the Holocaust. It was not concerned with policy. The decision to embark on the Holocaust was taken at a much higher level and earlier. The Holocaust was already under way at the time of the Wannsee Conference.
