What are some of the causes of the Holocaust?

Well, for one, Adolf Hitler, who was a lazy boy in school, who longed to be an artist, who later became one of the world's most terrible criminals. He was the main creator and gatherer of the Nazis, who hated Jews. The resistance of the Jews and defiance of mercy by the Nazis formed into the Holocaust. I hope I helped. (:

When did the Nazis take people to camps during the Holocaust?

Routine major deportations began in October 1941 with the deportation of the Berlin Jews. (At the time, the Nazis didn't have extermination camps, so many of the German Jews were dumped in the already overcrowded ghettos in Warsaw and Lodz, but most were sent to Riga, Latvia, where they were shot).In the early stages of the Holocaust the Nazis sent the killers - the mobile killing units - to the victims, but later they transported the victims to the extermination camps, as they found this simpler, less messy and more 'efficient'.


When capitalized Holocaust refers specifically to the destruction of Jews and other Europeans by the Nazis and may also encompass the Nazi persecution of Jews that preceded the outbreak of the war?

When capitalized, as the Holocaust, the term refers quite specifically to the Nazi genocide of the Jews. This began in 1941. The two dates preferred for the start are either 8 December 1941, when routine mass gassings of Jews began at Chelmno, or 25 June 1941 when the Nazi mobile killing squads went into action in Lithuania. The term was consciously chosen in preference to the earlier term Final Solution [of the Jewish Question], which was the Nazis' own term. The holocaust with a small 'h' often refers to the wider Nazi killings on the basis of group identity. (Please see related question). The period of persecution that preceded the Holocaust is not normally included in the Holocaust. There is, after all, a difference between persecution and mass murder or genocide. In late 1941 the great majority of Jews in Nazi held territory were still alive, but two years later most were dead.


What was the effect of characterizing Jews Gypsies and homosexuals as subhuman?

The characterization that Jews, Romani, and Homosexuals were sub-human (untermensch) caused many Germans to be desensitized to the persecution and later elimination of these groups. It also allowed many of the Nazis involved in the Holocaust, which was the mass extermination of these and other groups of people, to believe that they were performing good acts in "removing the vermin" who "contaminated" the rest of the population.


How was the Holocaust Germany and World War 2 linked together?

The Nazis invaded country after country, and this brought more and more Jews under German control. As a result, the Nazis' self-inflicted 'Jewish problem' grew and grew for them. (In particular, the invasion of Poland and, later, of the Soviet Union, brought a huge increase in the number of Jews under Nazi rule).The war shielded the Holocaust from outside intervention, in much the same way as WW1 shielded the Ottoman Turkish genocide of the Armenians in 1915.The Nazis were able to conduct the Holocaust in Poland, which is difficult to access from, say, Britain.The Holocaust was a kind of 'subplot' of World War 2. Saying this is not intended to diminish its significance but to put it in the context of World War 2.Some historians, such as Christopher Browning, see the Holocaust as part of a wider campaign by the Nazis to rid the world of what the latter called 'Jewish Bolshevism' ('Jewish Communism').
