What were the steps taken by Hitler for the death of Jews?

This can be argued in many ways; it is easy to now look back and say that all of his anti-Jewish rhetoric was a step for the death of Jews, but the evidence does not support that. One could also argue that he took no steps for the death of Jews, that everything he did was an effort to remove Jews from society, that everything to do with the murder of Jews came from others. The 'truth' no doubt is somewhere in betweeen, but because there was no paper-trail we will never know.


What were some of the diseases Jews had during the Holocaust?

It was not diseases that killed most Jews during the holocaust, it was murder by gunshots, poison, starvation, carbon monoxide, fire, etc. Although many Jews died in death camps from various contagious diseases or untreated illnesses, it was only in advance of their planned murder. In many cases the Jews were intentionally infected by various viruses or bacteria by the Germans operating the death camps. Some unethical or misinformed people have tried to claim (falsely) that most of the Jews that died 'just got sick and died'. That would be a lie. It was murder, not the bird flu.
