Holocaust

no one cares i got the same problem she is a minor character in the Holocaust because when you search her in google or yahoo you will find the same exact information which is just one paragraph filled with nothing but trash.

Several methods of identifying prisoners were used in concentration camps, with tattoos only being used at Auschwitz. There was no set name for these tattoos.

The Nazis outlawed many and eventually almost all jobs for Jews, eliminating their ability to support themselves.

Jews were treated as slaves to Ramses, the pharoah of Egypt at the time. They prayed in tents before they built the first temple (which was destroyed, the remains being the Western Wall). They were lead out of Egypt by Moses where the Red Sea parted to let the Israelites (Jews) across, and it flowed on top of the Egyptions so they couldn't reach the Jews.

The Holocaust was directed against ALL Jews - men, women and children, young, old, healthy and sick. So about half the six million slaughtered were female.

there were many, often there could not even be national resistance movements as it would involve too much intergrated logistics, so resistance groups would be regional and sometimes independent from one village to the next.

USA was US Army; RA was a volunteer (enlistee), RA=Regular Army. USN was US Navy. US on a dog-tag or ID card meant a draftee/conscripted (during the Vietnam War).

Many Germans blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, some even claiming that German Jews had betrayed the nation during the war. In addition, at the end of the war a Communist group attempted to carry out a Bolshevik-type revolution in the German state of Bavaria. Some of the leaders of that failed attempt were Jews. Moreover, they had played an important part in the Russian Revolution of November 1917. As a result, some Germans associated Jews with Bolsheviks and regarded both groups as dangerous enemies of Germany. After the war, a republic known as the Weimar Republic was set up in Germany. Jewish politicians and intellectuals played an important role in German life during the Weimar Republic, and many non-Jews resented their influence.

On the basis of his anti-Semitic views, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler attacked the impressive role Jews played in German society during the Weimar Republic, especially in the intellectual world and in left-wing politics. He referred to them as a plague and a cancer. In his book Mein Kampf (My Struggle, translated 1939), which was published in 1926, Hitler blamed the plight of Germany at the end of World War I on an international Jewish conspiracy and used terms such as extirpation and extermination in relation to the Jews. He claimed that the Jews had achieved economic dominance and the ability to control and manipulate the mass media to their own advantage. He wrote of the need to eradicate their powerful economic position, if necessary by means of their physical removal.

In most of Nazi controlled Europe the Jews were put in concentration camps where they were worked, starved, and tortured until they died. Jews were more than worked to death! Life in in Germany was hell even before the death camps but as for those camps; Jews were forced from their homes and driven in cattle cars (on trains) so full of people that it was impossible to sit down for days at a time, across often frozen country side with no food (the only water coming from what was sprayed on top of the cars and dripped through). Many people died in these trains from hunger, sickness and the cold. Once at the camps those who survived were forced to parade naked by a line of Nazi men who decided who should live and who should die. Families were torn apart with no rhyme or reason. Many people and all the children were sent into gas chambers disguised as showers where they were put to death and then their bodies burnt in large ovens or disvsrded in open quicklime graves. Those who werent killed immediatly had numbers tattooed into their arms and then were forced to do hard labor with nothing but mere scraps of bread and/or soup and little rest. Children were used for medical expeements. Living conditions were unthinkably horrible. People living in the camps endured torture both physical and psychological. Some people were forced to dig their own graves and then shot in them for no reason. We must Never Forget the tragedies that happened there not just to the Jews but also to the Gypsies, homosexuals, transgendered people, Poles, mentally impaired, and Communists If you want an EASY read to understand a little more try Night by Elie Weisel. When Jewish women gave birth to children, immediantly they were suffocated. Why? This would have saved the child from death through no food. The mother would be so weak, she wouldn't be able to produce breast milk for the baby to feed from. This seemed the only nice way to kill it, and it would save it enduring terrible and agonising starvation in the Ghettos (Where the Jews were forced to live.) They were only given 300 calories a day in food, where as the average adult today should eat at least 2500. This shows how starved they became. They were ordered to wear yellow stars to allow others to publicly know they were Jewish. The stores and businesses they owned in many cities were smashed and destroyed by Stormtroopers. Police and military, such as the SS, harassed them. There were cases of Jewish women being publicly raped in the street. At first mostly Communists, labor leaders, and outspoken journalists were arrested on various trumped up charges of plotting against the state of Germany. Most of these people were thrown in jail without any fair trial, beaten and tortured, and either sent to labor camps or executed. Later, the Nuremburg Laws allowed the German Government to arrest Jews and legally hold them, sometimes for either being married to Gentile women or for being accused of sexual relations with Gentile women (which carried the death penalty). Some Jewish people, terrified of the growing oppression, applied for passports to leave Germany and Austria--with the prices of such being raised to exorborant levels that many could not afford. Some fled, leaving all their possessions and other family members behind. Some stayed, with no other choice or not realizing that Hitler had a "Final Solution" planned. In Eastern Europe, many Jewish people had not heard of the things going on in Germany, and remembered that the Germans had not been cruel to local populations in World War I. They had no reason to believe the Nazis would implement such a horrible plan. Eventually, most Jewish people were rounded up into communities, their freedom restricted, forced to do prescribed labor. Various groups would be packed onto trains, told they were being resettled in the east. They were either taken to labor camps, worked and starved, or were directly taken to killing pits in Eastern Europe, shot and killed. If German soldiers were attacked or injured by local people in the war, Jewish people (and Gentiles) in local areas would be rounded up and shot or taken off to camps. They were subjected to starvation, beatings, forced labor, medical experiments, rape. Eventually, Hitler and officials in the Nazi government felt that not enough Jews were being killed, so they devised false showers that had Zyklon B poison the people when they were in the camps. The bodies had their gold fillings removed, any clothes or jewelry were taken away for the Nazi's use. Millions of people, Jews, Poles, Russians, Gypsies, the mentally and physically handicapped, dissidents, homosexuals, even some Germans, were placed in these camps, some were labor camps, some were extermination camps. Most Jewish people were sent to the latter. There are still mass burial sites in Eastern Europe. Those who wanted to leave Germany had to: 1. Pay for permission to leave the country. (The amount, calculated as a percentage of one's assets, rose from year to year). 2. Have somewhere and something to go to! In the 1930s much of the world was still suffering from the Great Depression and was reluctant to let in large numbers of refugees. In addition, anti-semitism (not of the extreme Nazi variety, but still prejudice nonetheless) was widespread in other countries. If at all possible, people of working age needed a job to go to. Otherwise, they would have to depend on the hospitality of friends, relatives or live off charity (if available). 3. Even after finding a job in, say Britain or America, paying for permission to leave Germany and paying the fare to their new country, Jews weren't allowed to take their remaining money with them after about 1935. It had to stay in Germany. Long before the start of the Holocaust the plight of many German Jews was grim. Note. In the interests of fairness, it should be added that political refugees from Nazi Germany (not of Jewish heritage) faced similar problems

It started in May 1940 as a concentration camp for Poles.

the communists. or generally the left. (see dolchstosslegende)

Because the Holocaust was completely based on that. Most Germans believed that they were superior to the Jews, therefore discriminated against them for being who they were. They prejudged Jews as unworthy of life, so they killed them. But not only Jews were being treated horribly for their religion, the gypies, the blacks, polish folks, etc. They were also discriminated against and thrown into ghettos and concentration camps simply because they weren't German.

Jews and others were murdered because of the groups they belonged to (Jews, Roma, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc) not for anything they had done.

In the Pacific theater, the Japanese military outlook provided no mercy for Allied soldiers that surrendered. The Japanese believed in fighting to the death. Because of this, Japanese prison camps were essentially concentration camps. Allied prisoners died in the thousands from disease, overwork, and malnourishment. However in Europe, they were distinct. Concentration camps housed those deemed unfit, or in some way non-Aryan. People were put there not because they were soldiers, but because they were civilians. Allied prisoners of war in Europe generally received better treatment, and were not put to death on the scale of those in concentration camps.

Yes Hitler did not like Jehovah's witnesses because Jehovah's witnesses called themselves spiritual Israel so Jehovah's witnesses got locked in jail and went to the concentration camp too! Now here comes a little fun fact for you the old German national anthem Deutschland!

It's a Jehovah witness song from their first song book arise oh zion!

This gave Jehovah's witnesses quite a lot of problems in Russia because the Russians recognized the song as the German national anthem and they thought Jehovah's witnesses were affiliated with the Nazis at first!

Well the truth of the matter arise oh zion is just a religious Melody that's been around for 100 or so years and it by coincidence ended up being a Jehovah's witness song and also the German national anthem

They did not as a point of protocol, they were supposed to wait for the mother to come to term before killing both mother and child.

When 5-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower witnessed the liberation of Ohrdruf concentration camp, he knew people would deny it and he wanted the entire camp filmed.

Today, there are some people who deny the Holocaust; all of them are anti-Semitic and hate Jews for one reason or another.

Most Germans were not informed about what was going on. They were told that the Jews were being "resettled in Eastern Europe" and that they would "lead a better life there". However, all sorts of rumours ciriculated, some of them fairly accurate. To put it simply, most Germans weren't 'ok with it'.

People in the baltic states that were first invaded in the summer of 1941.

The disabled in Germany were the first who suffered execution for political/idealogical reasons, but this was of course not part of the Holocaust.

No, since the holocaust there are very few Polish Jews left.

No, that is an American term.

Poland was the first country to be attacked by Germany, and that started World War II. France had an alliance with Poland, and they promised to come to their aid if and when they were attacked; they did not. Germany killed and took captive the poles, and forced them into concentration camps. The Nazis executed hundreds of poles, primarily Jewish people, in public. Hundreds of thousands of Polish people were slaughtered in WWII.

Yad Vashem commemorates gentiles who helpled to save the lives of Jews in the Holocaust and has a detailed list. (Obviously, no such list can be complete). Please see the link. One of the best known is Oskar Schindler, but there were thousands of others, too.
