Did people get thrown off cliffs during the holocaust?

I am not aware that any victims of the Holocaust were thrown off cliffs. Most were killed by poison gas, many were shot, some were hanged, and various other methods were used. Throwing people off cliffs would have been rather messy, for the well organized Germans. Then you have to go look for the body, at the bottom of the cliff, and it could be splattered all over the place. Germans had use for those bodies, you know. They harvested gold fillings out of teeth, and used body fat to manufacture soap. Sometimes the skin was used to make leather. All of this would become more difficult if you just threw the bodies off a cliff.

What is the holocaust who was involved what is its effects today?

The holocaust was the attempted genocide, the complete annihilation, of all Jews ordered by Adolph Hitler, Chancellor of Germany during World War II. By the time Hitler committed suicide and the Allies liberated the concentration camps where Jews were being gathered together and killed, Hitler's soldiers, the SS, managed to kill about 6,000,000 of them. Some Jews survived by emigrating from Europe, and many of their descendents still live abroad today. The reports of experimentation and the images of starvation, torture, humiliation, people being led into ovens dozens at a time, and the bodies being thrown into huge piles are horrifying and sobering. Some Muslims today refuse to believe that the holocaust really happened.
