What did Adolf Hitler have to do with the beginning of the Holocaust?

Answer 1

Some estimates of the number of individuals who were persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust reach as high as 14 million victims, including many children and women. nearly 6 million of the victims were Jews, while the rest were gays, lesbians, gypsies, and others who were labeled as outcasts by the Nazis. During the start of the Nazi movement, most Jewish groups and establishments were boycotted and laws were implemented to discriminate against the Jews. Such laws included a prohibition against mixed marriages, a prohibition against Jews holding government positions, and a prohibition against their appearance in public places. Jews were also required to wear yellow stars to identify them in public areas. They were moved to the ghettos or confined spaces.

The first accounts of what happened during the holocaust were reports of the physical violence done to the Jews in Austria and Germany, where it was mentioned that Jewish establishments were looted and destroyed. The Jews were attacked and many of them were sent to concentration camps. There were concentration camps in Germany as well. Most camps were situated in the General Government area in Poland, but camps existed anywhere that was occupied by the Nazis. Transportation of the prisoners to camps was frequently done using inhumane means, such as the usage of freight cars wherein many people died even before reaching their camps.

The Nazis tortured and executed the Jews through these concentration camps, despite the camps establishment under the pretext of giving Jews jobs. The camps were put up for several purposes. These camps included extermination camps, transit camps, and labor camps.

In these camps, the Jews were held for varying durations and purposes. Until the end of World War II, these sites were settings for torture, experiments and murder. Camp prisoners died because of the harsh conditions or because they were executed.

As part of their admission to camp, prisoners were tattooed with their IDs. Those who were deemed fit for labor were sent to 12-14 hour shifts. Before their work, roll calls were done and they typically lasted for hours, which sometimes caused some of the prisoners to fall ill and die.

From the time of admission to their execution or death, prisoners were ordered to do a series of torturous tasks. Prisoners were whipped, hung, or beaten. Some prisoners were also arbitrarily shot.

Conditions were really inhumane. Prisoners weren't given sufficient food and drink, they were given hard wood to sleep on, no bathrooms to use, and generally, they were treated very horribly. Without their consent, children and adults were used for unethical experiments.

The concentration camps were sites for extremely hard labor and many prisoners died from starvation.

The extermination camps were sites for mass murders. The Auschwitz camp, which is the most widely known extermination camp, is said to have killed more than 1 million Jews.

Children were very vulnerable during the holocaust. The Nazis killed the children of the "unwanted" groups as a response to the Nazis' ideological views and as a result of the racial struggle that was taking place. The estimated number of children killed during the Holocaust is known to have reached 1.5 million. This number includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children, thousands of Gypsy children, and thousands of handicapped children who were murdered under the Nazi rule.

Those who survived the bloody holocaust were liberated from the concentration camps between 1944 and 1945 by the Allied Forces. (AF)

After WWI, Germany was treated very badly with the treaty of versailles. they were supposed to disarm, pay reparations (mostly to france), they couldn't join the league of nations (but that wasn't a really big deal) and there was a guilt clause that germany was forced to sign that said they were responsible for the war.

after the war, there was inflation and europe was devastated. germany was especially in a state of chaos and many people didn't have food, clothing, fuel, or shelter. also, 10 million people died during the war, 20 million were injured, and 40 million died of spanish influenza (this was the whole world, not just germany). germans were very unahppy

the economy was terrible because countries used autarky (they didn't trade with each other) and this hurt the world market. eventually, this led to a world wide depression (hit everywhere except russia).

Under these conditions, it was very easy for hitler to gain support. he promised a better economy, and it actually did improve under him. but hitler had a lot of prejiduces, which you can read in his book, Mein Kampf. he blamed the jews for the economy, losing WWI, and saying they were an inferior race. he wanted to eliminate them all to return to a pure german country. he didn't start exterminating jews until later in the war, and the concentration camps actually did hurt him because he used resources there instead of fighting the war.

The Holocaust refers to the persecution and murder of Jews by Nazis under the German leader Adolf Hitler. This term is sometimes also used to describe genocide of Jewish people in other time periods or regimes as well. The origin of this word is likely from Greek origin (holokauston) where" holos" means whole and "kauston" means burnt. The holocaust lasted from April 1933 till the end of World War II.

The estimated number of people who were murdered during the holocaust adds up to 14 million, including many women and children. Out of these nearly 7 million were Jewish, (about 68% of Jewish people in Europe), the rest were Gypsies and Homosexuals, mainly those labeled as outcasts by the Nazis at that time.

In the beginning of the Nazi movement most Jewish establishments were boycotted and several laws were introduced to discriminate against them. This included laws against mixed marriages, appearance in public places, and against holding government jobs. They were also ordered to wear a label or yellow star which helped identify them in public places, and moved to confined spaces called the ghetto.

The first report of physical violence against the Jews came from Germany and Austria where the Jewish establishments were destroyed and looted, Jewish people were attacked and a large number were sent to concentration camps.

Then the Nazis started torturing and executing Jews, by transporting them from ghettos to concentration camps on the pretext of providing them with work. Camps were set up for different purposes. The different camps included concentration cams, extermination cams, labor camps, transit camps etc, where Jews were held for different time periods and purposes. From 1938 till the end of the war, these camps were the site where endless torture, medical experiments and murder was inflicted on Jews.

The conditions at these camps were beyond comprehension. People were not given enough food, given hard wooden beds to sleep on, and treated very unkindly. Many unethical medical experiments were also conducted on adults and children against their will. The concentration camps were designed for hard labor and those living there often died of starvation. The extermination camps were specifically set up to perform mass murders. The more famous extermination camp at Auschwitz is known to have killed 1.5 million Jews.

Those that survived the Holocaust were finally liberated from the camps by the allied forces, starting in mid 1944. By that time the Nazis had succeeded in destroying large amount of evidence implicating their role in the holocaust. However, the gruesome memory of the holocaust still remains fresh in people who survived this terrible ordeal.

Answer 2

The Holocaust was when Hitler ordered his Nazi officers to kill all of Europe's Jewish population. At first, they had to dig their own graves and were shot into them. Later, they had to dig a massive hole and all of the bodies would be shot into one hole. Then, the Nazis made "work" camps. Which were actually slave camps where the Nazis would torture and kills the Jewish people. They would take a group of people, lie that they were taking a shower, and gassed them with a poison gas called Zyklon B.
