What did the Nazis do to punish the Jews?

Answer 1

Years before the war, concentration camps were set up in Germany where Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, political prisoners, Catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, and others were forced into slave labor until they died of starvation or disease.

As the war opened, Germany terrorized towns using a tactic called Einsatzgruppen, where the Jewish men and young men were led to ditches that they dug out themselves and were shot and killed. They went back into the towns and killed the women and all the children. Many towns in Eastern Europe were exterminated.

Nazi officials started to take offense to this method to them, it was to personal. So, starting in 1942, Death camps were set up in the conquered countries but not in Germany. First, the Jews were forced into ghettos and then traveled by train boxed in like animals. There was no food, very little air and no place to relieve themselves. Those who survived, were led to these death camps where the children were taken away from the parents and were euthanized with poison gas as they were told they were going to take a shower.

The same went for men and women who could not work. The rest went into slave labor where they were virtually starved to death or died of disease such as Anne Frank and her sister, Margo, succumbed to. Their mother was instantly euthanized at Auschwitz.

There were 6 death camps in Poland and one in Minsk, Belarus (when it was part of Russia). The most famous one is Auschwitz. The bodies of the dead in the gas chambers were transported to crematoriums to burn any evidence they were alive, but that failed. The Jews who were either shot or died of starvation or disease, were buried in mass graves.

The transportation of the bodies to both the crematorium and the graves were done by Jewish slaves of the camps. The act of killing a racial or cultural group is called genocide. A total of 6 million Jews were killed with total of about 12-17 million in all were killed by the Nazis.

Anne Frank was under 16 years of age which meant she should have been automatically sent to the gas chamber. But she stated she was 16 and the Nazi's believed her and thus spared, only for several months.

Answer 2

From the very outset, the Nazi Party (NSDAP) and its predecessor, the DAP was rabidly, hysterically, frenetically antisemitic. __ Soon after coming to power, the Nazi regime started to perecute the Jews in Germany, and tried to bully them into leaving the country. Increasingly, the regime made it just about impossible for Jews to earn a living in Germany. They were also removed from society ... and forced into the role of unwanted 'outsiders'. With the outbreak of war, they were placed under severe restrictions, such as having to live in designated Jewish appartment blocks; they were forbidden to own pets, radios or cars; they were subjects to a curfew. In Nazi-occupied Poland the Jews were herded into ghettos ... In 1941 the mass murders began.
