The Nazis rounded up Jews and sent them to special camps where they were killed.

The European Jewish population in 1950 was 3.5 million people in contrast to the 1933 European Jewish population of 9.5 million people (a difference of 6 million people whence the 6 million number comes). 2 million of the 3.5 million remaining Jews were in the Soviet Union.

What was the worldwide Jewish population before and after World War 2?

Before the war, and according to the world almanac, ""World Almanac, 1938, pg. 510 -- world jewish population = 15,748,091""After the war, "World Almanac USA, 1947, pg. 748: World Jewish Population -- 15,690,000"____The World Almanac was notoriously unreliable on this at the time and later revised its figures for the whole period 1938-1948. The real figures are about 16 million in 1939 and 10 million in 1945.

Who had to wear the star of david during world war 2 and why?

Jews and those with enough Jewish ancestry to be designated a Jew according to the Nazis were required by law to wear one. The identifying yellow Jewish Star of David was used by the Nazis as a crude tool to single them out and isolate them from the rest of the population. It was intended to be a badge of shame so they would be mocked, ridiculed and shunned by non-Jews. Finally, it made it much easier for the Nazis to round them all up and send them to the death camps.


Why was the Holocaust was considered a mass hysteria?

That notion is inaccurate. Nazi antisemitism was obsessive and hysterical, but the notion that the Holocaust itself was 'mass hysteria' is based on the mistaken assumption that the German population was howling for Jewish blood and the Nazi leadership obliged, so to speak. The Holocaust was not driven by the German population. It was driven by forces much higher up the hierarchy.


Why was Germany fertile soil for the Nazis following world war 1?

Germany was in a state of depression much like the united states in the 1930's, but the Jewish communities seemed to be doing better then everyone else in Germany so the nazi's found someone to blame the depression on which started to casue the hate of the Jewish people.
