No, it was adults and children. The Nazis wanted to exterminate all Jews.
Most Nazis had no knowledge at all of Jewish culture, only offensive stereotypes of Jews.
It was to ensure that those children did not grow up to have children of their own, and thus perpetuate a Jewish race in Europe. The Nazis wished not only to exterminate all existing Jewish people in Europe, they also considered it vital to ensure that no future Jewish generations grew up their either, and thus perpetuate the very race that Hitler wished to destroy.
They only killed Non German Aryan children
The Nazis wanted to be voted into government, so they gave the coutry a common enemy, they blamed the Jews for everything bad, as the world was in a depression and many Jewish refugees had just come over from Poland. Jews were only less than 1% of the population and the Nazis were voted in.
Yes. The Nazis tried to dress up Kristallnacht as a popular response to a Jewish act of terrorism, but it was in fact only Nazis and their agents who produced the violence and destruction.
* It was permanent. * It was cheap. * It was degrading. * It helped the Nazis keep tabs on prisoners. Obviously, the tattooed numbers were only given to prisoners selected for work. Moreoever, it was used only at the Auschwitz group of camps.
The Nazis preferred to abandon the most Eastern concentration camps to avoid being captured by the Russian army. They transported the remaining Jewish camp population towards the Western concentration camps. These camps were later taken by the American army, and the Jewish prisoners liberated.
They didn't exterminate all the Austrians only the Jewish ones and other people that were the target of the Nazi Party.
Under traditional Jewish law, Jewishness is inherited through the mother so that only children of Jewish mothers are considered to be Jewish. As a result, a Jewish man who wants his children to be accepted in a traditional Jewish community will seek to marry only a Jewish woman. Some of the more liberal Jewish communities now accept the children of Jewish fathers as Jewish when they are raised in the Jewish faith. In addition, there have always been processes through which non-Jews an convert to Judaism. This would permit a non-Jewish woman to convert, marry a Jewish man and have their children recognized as Jewish in traditional communities. It also permits the children of a non-Jewish mother to be raised and accepted as Jews even in traditional communities. In Judaism there's no such thing as "half-Jewish."
Most of the innocent people were of the Jewish decent. They were put into the gas chambers or the furnace. The others were lined up and got shot. The lucky few lived only to work hard for the Nazis.
Adam is only a legend for children, of Jewish origin !
Many family names in Europe can be either Jewish or not Jewish ... The widespread view in America that anyone with a name ending in -berg or -berger is Jewish can be very misleading. The visible Star of David was only one way for the Nazis to know who was Jewish. (It was only introduced in Germany and most other countries in September 1941, in Poland it was introduced a year earlier). Passports of Jews were stamped with a large red J. Travel papers and similar were also stamped. People's backgrounds were checked. Anyone having any Jewish ancestry going back three generations were deemed Jewish by the Nazis. Neighbors knew who was Jewish, and many would report the comings and goings of Jewish friends, neighbors, and strangers to the Nazis. So, there were few places a Jew (or any non-Nazi sympathizer for that matter) could hide, even without a visible symbol to mark them. Many European countries were intensely 'Jew-conscious' for several decades before the rise of the Nazis. 'Is he/she one [a Jew]?' was considered very, very spicy information.
