How was the outcome of world war two connected to the holocaust?

Answer 1

The Holocaust in the sense of systematic genocide began in 1941, when the war in Europe had already been under way for two years. Other groups were also targeted.

The Holocaust, or systematic destruction of peoples which the Nazis considered undesirable, occurred in all areas the Germans captured during World War 2. It was a kind of subplot within the war.

If you are trying to establish a cause/effect relationship between WW2 and the Holocaust, I think you will have trouble doing so. The Holocaust did not lead to World War 2, and it was not one of the causes of the war. Similarly, World War 2 did not cause the Holocaust.

The German invasion of Poland and later of the Soviet Union did, of course, lead to a vast increase in the numbers of Jews under German rule and added to the Nazis' self-inflicted 'Jewish problem'. One may, of course, also take the view that the Nazis exploited the wartime inaccessibility of Eastern Europe to the outside world when carrying out the Holocaust, but that is not a cause-effect link.

Answer 2

The holcaust was part of World War II Hitler was the leader of Germany during WWII and he wanted to demolish all Jewish people, hence this was the holocaust. World War II ended the holocaust, one of the main goals of fighting the war.

Answer 3

Many Historians argue that the outbreak of the Second World War caused the Holocaust. Some of the main points made are that it distrupted the Nazi government's plans for mass Jewish emigration. It brutalised people, and accustomed them to killing.

No serious historian claims that World War 2 caused the holocaust.

Answer 4

World War II isn't related to the Holocaust because the Holocaust was one of the events in World War II.

Answer 5

Obviously, the Holocaust ended when the war in Europe came to an end. (In those parts of Europe already liberated by the Allies it had ended a little earlier).

Answer 6

the Holocaust took place within that time period.
