How did the Holocaust affect the world war 2?

Answer 1

The Holocaust was an affect of Hitler's intolerance toward those who did not meet his standards. He felt that only those who were blond haired and blue eyed (which he was not) were the ultimate race. Gypsys, anyone with health defects, those of Jewish decent were just a few who Hitler felt were not deserving to live. He did his best to exterminate them. The holocaust was a result of a man's intolerance to accept others.

Answer 2

• There was no direct, causal link.
• World War 2 brought a vast increase in the number of Jews under Nazi control (for example, the Jewish population of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, the Soviet Union, France, Belgium, the Netherlands).
• In August/September 1941 Nazi policy shifted to genocide, but the reasons are still debated. One factor was it became impractical, in Nazi eyes, to continue to use Poland as a dumping ground for Jews. A 'territorial solution' to the Nazis' self inflicted 'Jewish question' became unrealistic ... and they adopted their 'Final Solution' instead.

Answer 3

I don't think the Holocaust had any effect on the course of World War 2 itself. It has had some influence on postwardevelopments in a few areas.
