Many things happened. Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, African Americans,Polish, Russian and disabled people(mentally and physically) were gased and experimented on. They were gased in rooms that looked as if they were shower rooms.Nazis did whatever they pleased with their victims. sometimes they would cut people open while they were still living to see how their insides worked. Nazis especially loved experimenting on twins whether they were identical or not. If the citizens had no reason for the Nazis to take the twins, then the Nazis found a reason to be able to take them.
The Jews were the main target in Germany. The German genocide is also called the Holocaust.
Not an easy question to answer, as people are not agreed on when it started, it is subjective as to who started it.What is important to know is that the ideas behind the Holocaust and the ultimate responsibility lies with Hitler.
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.
1.5 children were murdered by German Soldiers and their collaborators during the holocaust.
Berlin, the German capital, though he did have a mountain retreat. Hitler, of course, did not think of that time as 'The Holocaust', which is the name given to that time by Jews. Hitler was trying to make most of the world subservient to Nazi Germany, partly by genocide of the Jews.
The German economy was salvaged.
riots, burning of towns, and killing German soldiers ___ See the related question.
The holocaust was not a government, but the killing/murder of 6 million people because of who they were. The German government called it the "final solution" and carried it out with forethought and malice. It was a policy of the German government.
the holocaust was the killing of six million Jews and 5 million non-Jews. the polish people that escaped to the U.S.A. changed them to be German.
The Nazi German blessed the typhus. It was less work for them at killing the prisioners.
In 1919-1933 there was no German holocaust of the Jews. It began in 1941. Please see the related questions.
not many (if any) France had no killing centres, if any died there, then it was only incedental.
they were considered Jewish (no need to say more)
The genocide began in June 1941 as the mobile killing units went into action behind German lines in the then Soviet Union.
The impression that Jews did not fight back against the Nazis is a myth. Jews carried out acts of resistance in every country of Europe that the Germans occupied, as well as in satellite states. They even resisted in ghettos, concentration camps and killing centers, under the most harrowing of circumstances.
Oh hell no. In the German prospective back then, maybe. But now, definitely not. It would be considered a crime against humanity.
The Holocaust affected Jews throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe. It didn't need to 'travel'. Instead the German Jews, including those living in Darmstadt, were transported to extermination camps and killing fields in Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe.
