There were many different ways to die in the Holocaust. It was a tragic event. One way was they would make you strip down naked, telling you you were either taking a shower or getting bugs removed, and put you into a small, cellar like room. They would fit as many people as possible into the one room, then they would gas you either with hydrocyanic acid (Zyklon B) with carbon monoxide. There were many other ways to die, but this was a tragic one.
There are actually few documented incidences of inmates being burned alive during the Holocaust - most of the time, cremation was just an easy way to save space and dispose of the evidence. However, millions of dead bodies were burned.
the holocaust really didn't effect slavery and besides slavery was before the holocaust......wow wiki answers is not accurate for all you people looking at this...sry but it isn't.While the Holocaust took place way after slavery was established in most countries, it did not effect slavery unless you count that concentration camps, it was either work for free under harsh conditions, or die, so the prisoners were actually slaves if you think about it.
The mass graves were dug by the Jews , during the day. it was a massive hole, and when it was deep enough the Nazis would line the Jew's and shoot them row by row. the point of the Jews working throw the day was basically to dig their own grave. to die, just another way to kill them like the toxin rooms.
It is a memorial for gentiles who helped Jews during the Holocaust. There are various criteria for people to be declared Righteous among the nations, this does mean that not all of those who did help in some way are included; but it is a celebration of the greatest side of humanity.
They did nothing until their advancing forces actually over-ran the camps.
in the same way as adults, through shootings, gassings, beatings, etc.

Bob Hope was not a hero of the Holocaust. He was in no way involved. During this period he worked for the USO providing entertainment and morale boosting shows for the US army, who also had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
He decided that the best way was to secure a military victory and remove the Nazi's power over people.
that is a good way of putting it, almost everything else was taken from them
Sugar had to be imported, during the war supplies were irregular, rationing was a way to give everyone a fair portion.
It had different effects. France has (and especially in the 70's and 80's) the highest number of Holocaust deniers of any nation involved in the Holocaust, it was even in the mainstream media. Much of France was ashamed of their record during the Holocaust, denial was one way to deal with it.

People wore paperclips on their collars during the Holocaust as a show that they were against Nazis, and antisemitism. They were worn as a way to support the Jewish people.
awfuly ________ It is absurd to lump all 'Europeans' together in the way this question does. There were huge variations.
there was not much scope for that in the Holocaust, it was hard for any other actors rather than Nazis to exercise power, but the best example i can think of is the Orthodox Church in Romania, or in a negative way the Catholics in Yugoslavia.
They legalized anti-Semitism, paving the way to the Holocaust.
NO
Oh, dude, no way! The Holocaust happened during World War II, like a looong time ago. It's not still going on, thank goodness. That would be like the longest, most terrible event in history if it was still happening.
The best website I'd say is ushmm.org. It's a REALLY helpful site if you want to understand the Holocaust a little more. Seeing it is WAY BETTER.(the museum)
Not really. The US was in a different continent, so it was problematic. The decision was made that the best way to stop the Holocaust was to achieve a military victory against Germany, so all efforts were made to do just that.
they had to be naked all the time they either asked to go left or right the sad thing is they died either way
The majority of Holocaust victims were murdered - by gassing and by deliberate malnutrition. (They were forced to do hard labour on very little food). In some parts of Eastern Europe, the Nazis also conducted mass shootings. They were also killed by disease. There were some that went into hiding such as Anne Frank, and some were found. There are still Holocaust survivors today. Anne Frank and her sister Margot Frank were killed the same way their mom died. Disease. Otto Frank was the only Frank that survived the Holocaust.
Clams do die when you open them because they rely on their shell to survive. There is no way to keep them alive during the process of opening them.
The Jews responded by having more faith in god and by trying to help the allies in any way possible
