Lidice was razed for the assassination of Heydrich .
Almost everything of no value was destroyed or stored in mass. Nazis kept anything of value, including money, gold, jewels, etc.
Chelmno was destroyed by the Nazis when the Soviet Army approached, and there was nobody left to liberate there. Treblinka and Belzec were also destroyed by the Nazis. (In the case of Treblinka and Belzec the Nazis even tried to turn the site into agricultural land). Sobibor was destroyed after a rebellion by the inmates. The Nazis also blew up key installations at Auschwitz-Birkenau as the Soviet Army approached.
More than 13,000 were arrested. The destruction of the village of Lidice was probably the most notorious thing the Nazis did in retaliation. All 199 men were executed, 95 children were taken and 195 women were arrested. The entire village was destroyed. Heydrich had been the head of the Gestapo but was promoted to the head of the "Reich Main Security Office", and was the appointed ruler of the Czech Republic. His brutality earned him the nickname "the Butcher of Prague". He was assassinated by Czech rebels at the end of May 1942, although he didn't actually die until the beginning of June. The Nazis, first and foremost, wanted to capture, torture, torture some more, and then execute the assassins. At first, they were unable to find them, so they arrested anyone and everyone who was around. Thousands of people were arrested, many of whom wound up in concentration camps and were killed. Additionally, the initial findings of the Nazi investigation erroneously linked the assassins to two nearby towns. The Nazis destroyed those towns, and slaughtered the people. Those who weren't killed immediately, were sent to concentration camps to die. Eventually the Nazis were able to arrest and torture enough people that they discovered where the assassins where hiding- in a church in Prague. The Nazis surrounded the church, and launched a military-style attack on it; all of the conspirators died, either by wounds or suicide. Also, the bishop at that church (who was not involved in the assassination) surrendered himself to the Nazis in the hopes that they would not attack his parishioners- the bishop and his church staff were arrested, tortured, and killed.
Prior to 1943 Denmark was allowed to keep their self rule. The Danish government did not any any violent revolts against the Nazis because they did not want any retaliation by the Nazis. By 1943 life in Denmark with the Nazi occupation deteriorated and the resistance fighters and others did start doing strategic attacks against the Nazis.
Treblinka was closed by the Nazis in November 1943. The whole camp, including the gas chambers and crematoria was destroyed and the area was grassed over. The Nazis tried to hide all traces of their activities.
The city of lidice
Lidice.
The resistance groups used sabotage, strikes, demonstrations and assassination to try and over ride the nazis. If caught doing this they were harshly treated by the nazis.
not as a direct consequence

In 1938, Italy invaded parts of Africa, in 1939, the nazis invaded Poland which sparked retaliation by many governments.

The village of Lidice was chosen by the Nazis as a form of reprisal for the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, a high-ranking official in Nazi Germany, in 1942. The Nazis sought to retaliate against the Czech resistance and intended to make an example of Lidice by accusing it of harboring the assassins. As a result, they executed its male population, deported women and children, and ultimately destroyed the village. This brutal act was meant to instill fear and suppress resistance in occupied Czechoslovakia.
The Japanese, lacking the 'Christian background' to antisemitism, found the Nazis' hatred of the Jews utterly bewildering.
