One was to pretend/hope that it was not going to happen to them.
In the Holocaust itself rich and poor Jews were treated alike: they were slaughtered. (One could not buy one's way out of the Holocaust).
They were treated in the same way as other Jews: one couldn't buy oneself out of the Holocaust.
One fact about the Holocaust is that Jews were killed because Adolf Hitler wanted one race in Germany/Europe and Jews weren't that race.
Yes, to be a Holocaust survivor one must have been a victim of the Holocaust, therefore by deffinition one would have to be Jewish.
Leon Cohen was one man who pulled Jews' teeth during the Holocaust, but there were many more.
it was one excuse used to put Jews into ghettos.
One fact about the Holocaust is that Jews were killed because Adolf Hitler wanted one race in Germany/Europe and Jews weren't that race.
They were pretty well off. Germany was one of the most liberal and safe places for Jews in Europe from the 1700s up until the Holocaust.
Just before the Holocaust there were about 18 million Jews world wide, and about one third (33%) were killed in the Holocaust.
Germans were on the one side, and Jews were on the other.
Jews were the largest victims of the Holocaust with 7 out of 10 Jews in Europe being murdered during the holocaust. Jews were discriminated against because they were not considered racially pure or part of the Aryan Race (ideally blonde haired blue eyes). And Hitler used propaganda against the Jews blaming the whole of world war one on the Jews, this brainwashed Nazis.
because no one objected to their anti-Jewish measures in the thirties, no one took in the Jews when they could and no one tried to stop the Holocaust.
