∙ 15y agoThat question is one which is still debated today. There are two views, Structuralists and Intentionalists. The Structuralists believed Hitler was a weak leader and the Holocaust was the result decisions made by the Third Reich and various Nazi agencies. They also believe Hitler's initial goal was simply deportation of the Jews, and extermination was only a "last resort" The Intentionalists believe Hitler had planned the Holocaust from the beginning. Mein Kampf shows the level of Hitler's anti-Semitism as well as hatred towards other groups which he wrote years before he came to power after his arrest at the Beer Hall Putsch. But if you ask who planned it, that is not definite. The operation was carried out by the SS (who ran the concentration camps) and was supervised by Himmler. ___ The usual terms are intentionalists and functionalists. The latter do not necessarily think that Hitler was a 'weak' dictator, simply that he was subject to pressures from below, like any dictator.

When the Holocaust started and ended?
The holocaust began on Dec.8, 1941 in Chelmno and ended on May 9, 1945.___The Holocaust took place from 1941 to 1945. Under Adolf Hitler. After Hitler's armies began to take over neighboring countries, a "final solution" to the "Jewish question" was formulated. This plan produced the Holocaust in which 6 million Jews were murdered. At death camps, Jews were forced to labor until they had exhausted their strength. Those too old, young, or feeble to work were killed in specially built gas chambers; their bodies were then cremated. ___The systematic mass murders began in 1941. One can take the Holocaust back to the Kristallnacht, but most historians confine to the "Final Solution".

How did Hitler prevent German citizens from realizing the magnitude of the Holocaust?
Hitler was smart when it came to keeping the holocaust a well kept secret. He did this by eliminating the people that knew about it and were telling the German people about it. Also most of the concentration camps were organized and placed outside of small cities in Germany where not many people would see them. When the allies came across these camps they had no clue what they were and immediately called back to there commanders and that is how the news of the holocaust came out. Also Hitler was an outstanding public speaker and could really say anything and have the public believe him.
