1. There was a tax of 20% of one's assets for anyone leaving Germany, whether Jewish or not. 2. After the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) Jews had to pay an additional 25%. 3. Moreover, from 1935 on one was not allowed to take money out of Germany without permission from the government - so the remaining assets were of almost no use abroad. Before that, there were other restrictions on exchanging money, etc.
they actually lost money overall. They gained in the short term, but Jews had a disproportionately high influence on the economy, leading to a long term loss.
Very high indeed. The Jews have traditionally attached great importance to education. Even in the Nazi ghettos they did their utmost to provide some schooling for the children.
350000___Where does that very high figure come from?If you look at the answer for the question, `How many Holocaust survivors?` you will see where the figure came from.You also need to date the estimate, as there are fewer Holocausts survivors every year. In 2012, there are probably only 260,000 Holocaust survivors left.
The Holocaust stands as an immutable proof to the Jewish People that any safety and security that they may have among non-Jews is illusory and only as strong as current politics allow. Prior to 1930, Germany was one of the most tolerant and Jew-friendly places in the world. Jews served in the German armies as early as the German-Danish Wars. Jews worked in German businesses. Jews and Germans interacted to an incredibly high degree. However, the Holocaust began in Germany and not in a place like Russia where Jews had been historically persecuted. The main result of this truth has been the acquiescence of most of the Jewish community to the idea of Zionism; that Jews have the right to govern themselves.*It is worth noting that Jews who disagree with Zionism do not argue with the "not safe among non-Jews" argument, but the secondary premise that Jews should do something to improve their situation. They see the persecution as punishment for their ancestors' having refused to be pious and keep the Torah.Answer 2 Non-Zionist answerThe Holocaust stands as an immutable proof to the Jewish People that any safety and security that they may have while abandoning the Torah is in truth illusory. The Torah predicts (Deuteronomy ch.6,8,11,28 and 32) that assimilation will bring Divine retribution, and that is what happened. German Jewry was the least religious Jewish community worldwide, and that is where the Holocaust began. This holds true outside Israel and in Israel as well, so Zionism is irrelevant to the subject. Israeli Jews are safe only by God's grace; and He has sent them periodic reminders of this inescapable truth.Note that this Answer should not be misconstrued as approval for what the Nazis did.
Many were rounded up by the Vichy French government or the Germans and sent to death camps. Some survived through escaping or living in hiding.___About 75% of French Jews survived, which is an unusually high proportion for a country that was under Nazi occupation/rule. Some Vichy officials refused to hand over Jews who had been born in France and never had any other nationality.
Jews were barricaded into separate neighborhoods - ghettos - which were then sealed off with high walls.
during the Holocaust the Jew's ate any food they could afford which in most cases much due to the high prices.
The term "A holocaust" means mass destruction and death, usually by fire. The term " The Holocaust" means the mass killing of Jews and others under the Nazi's in WW 2. There have been people that have survived both types, although your chances of being killed are very high.
Over 7 million Jews were killed throughout Europe during the Holocaust. I really don't see how people can deny that the Holocaust happened at all. Think of all of the survivors. You can't fake that kind of trauma to a person's spirit. _________ The 'classic' figure is 6 million, but some historians give the range 5.1-6 million. (7 million is too high). For the question of evidence see the related question.

Holocaust.That was the Jews' own name for it after the War, but Adolf Hitler and his Nazi High Command called it the "Final Solution" - the "problem", in Hitler's mind, being the existence of the Jews as well as that of coloured, Romany and homosexual people.___________________The Final Solution did not include any other groups than the Jews. This is not to take away from the persecution and devastation that the Romany suffered, they lost more people as a proportion than the Jews did. Also more groups than those mentioned suffered under the Nazis, but they were niether part of the Holocaust, nor part of the Final Solution.The Jewish name for the Holocaust is 'Shoah'.
