Your question is just wrong. Though civilian Jews were sought out and killed, so were Gypsie, homosexuals, Polish (many by the Soviet Union), handicapped - both physically and mentally, as were others in conquered or fought over lands, including Germany and Japan. Millions of military and resistance fighters were also killed in WWII.
no
It was neither.Hitler only murdered European Jews. He did not murder Israelis. The majority of Jews killed in the Holocaust spoke:GermanPolishYiddishDutchCzechFrenchAnd many othersJews haven't spoken Aramaic in 2000 years.
they only killed jews ~Actually they killed anyone who fought against them b/c it was a war & they executed the Jewish people.
At the start of World War 2 was Poland with 3.3 Million Jews. by the end of World War 2, it only had 250,000 left and by then the Soviet Union had the most surviving Jews, which was 1.75 Million. Total of 1.1 Million Soviet Jews were killed during the Holocaust.
I just read a biography on this. The Jews weren`t the only ones killed. Jews, Russians,Poles, and Gypsies were also killed. There were also Soviet POWs, Roma, disabled and mentally ill, gay men, Jehovah's Witnesses, and political opponents. The reason all these people were killed was because of Adolf Hitler (who grew up hating mainly Jews), so one man's hatred was expanded due to his nazi politics and his influencial speeches (he was a good speaker). So he and the Nazi Party who emphasized nationalism and antisemitism ... sought to rid the world of those they hated. The Nazis were above all a "hate party".
They were taken from the ghettos to extermination camps, where they were killed.
No, most were jews, but there were, homosexuals and gypysies. Maybe a few germans aswell.
I've only found out that around 3 million Catholic Poles were killed in the war.
No communists, homosexuals, gypsies and others were killed
There were many other groups that had people killed by Hitler and the Nazis, but the Holocaust was the specific actions against the Jews, therefore there were no other groups killed in the Holocaust. The only other group which suffered similar persecution to the Jews was the gypsies.
Hitler killed 6 million Jews, not 46 million. There were only 15-16 million Jews in the world in 1939, so killing 46 million would actually be impossible. However, Hitler's reasons for killing the Jews are outlined in the Related Question below.
In World War 1 the Jews were not specifically targeted. Perhaps you are thinking of World War 2 and the Holocaust?
