What was the aim of the Holocaust?

Answer 1

The purpose of Hitler's hidden Holocaust was to make a "perfect Aryan (German) race". He told the Nazis such things as "Jews made us lose the First War" "The reason Germany is in poverty is because of Jews" etc. etc.

Taking his racism to another level, he:

• Torturing Jews in various elements. No Jewish person could receive insurance, call the police, etc. And, most European Jews were forced to wear a Star of David.
• Threatened to lock the Jews in the synagogue and burn it if he (and the Nazis) did not receive enough gold, jewelry, etc.
• After all of the above, he finally started the transportations; he sent all of the unlucky Jewish people he could find to concentration, labor, and death camps.

Other racial groups were destroyed by the Nazis, as well. Including:

• Jehovah's Witnesses (Christians and Catholics also perished, but not as bad)
• Soviet Prisoner's of War
• Homosexuals
• Gypsies

As Allied troops neared, Hitler had nearly achieved his goal. The elimination of "The Final Jewish Question", and six million Jewish people died.

____

This view of Hitler as some kind of 'racial perfectionist' is very out of date ... I'm also puzzled to hear JWs, Soviet POWs and homosexuals regarded as races.

Answer 2

The extermination of the Jewish people in Europe. They were the scapegoats, who could be blamed for anything which was thought to be wrong, any crimes, in order to make the rest of the populous feel more powerful.

Answer 3

the Holocaust was an attempt of Hitler's to rid Germany of Communists and Jews.

"If I can send the flower of the German nation into the hell of war without the smallest pity for the spilling of precious German blood, then surely I have the right to remove millions of an inferior race that breeds like vermin…" -Adolf Hitler

Answer 4

The Holocaust

• The point of the holocaust was that Adolf Hitler (Leader of Nazi Army) was killing of Jews and some times people who did not have blond hair and blue eyes.
• But in the end when the war was nearly over Hitler gave the command to get the people out of the camps and destroy them.
• Thus giving us what we know as the death marches were they where forced to walk for ever but in the end of the war Adolf Hitler committed suicide

Answer 5

Racism, pure and simple.

Many. Appropriation of property was one; Hitler wanted to rid the world of "undesirables"--Jews, Slavs, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, handicapped people. He also believed that Jews spread communism, to which he was opposed.

Answer 6

The purpose was to murder 6 million Jews of Europe and to remove the disabled, gay, and elderly as well as any dissenting people. In 1933 approximately 9.5 million Jews lived in Europe comprising 1.7% of the total European population. This number represents more than 60% of the World's Jewish population at that time of an estimated 15.3 million. The majority of Jews in prewar Europe lived in Eastern Europe. The largest was Poland with about 3,000,000 Jews. In Central Europe the largest Jewish population was in Germany with about 525,000 people and Western Europe the largest population was in Great Britain with 300,000. Before the Nazi seizure in 1933 Europe had a diverse set of Jewish cultures. In less than a decade two out of every three Jews would be dead.

Answer 7

Greed. The main motive was to profit from the Jews; their possessions, their property, even the shirts from their backs and the hair from their heads were taken from them.

Answer 8

Ethnic cleansing, his goal was aimed at creating a racially pure Aryan race and anyone who got in his way usually ended up dead or in the concentration camps.

Answer 9

Hitler wanted to reunite German speaking people
