Holocaust

The term Aryan refers to a language group. Another name for this language group is Indo-European. The Slavic people and the Celtic people are Caucasian, but they are not in the Aryan language group, so they are not Aryan. The Poles were blond and blue-eyed, but they were Slavic, so they were not Aryan. The original Jews were in the Semitic language group, so they were not Aryan. The Eastern European Jews were members of an Asian race and were not Aryan. The French were a mixed race of Celts and Romans, so they were not Aryan.

The Nazis used the term Aryan to mean the ethnic Germans and other people such as the people in the Netherlands who were in the Aryan language group. Most of the Nazis were from Austria or Bavaria and they were descendants of the German tribe called the Bavarians. The Bavarians typically had dark hair and dark blue eyes or brown eyes. The Nazis admired the Nordic race whose members are typically blond with blue eyes.

He held conspiracy theories, such as that they were not their problem and that they were taking all their money their jobs, or that the Jews were the corse of all the problems E.G not winning in world war one

Summary: physically leaving the camp was not too hard, compared to modern prisons. It was just some barbed wire and a few guards. The difficulty was in staying free. After escaping, you would need help from the resistance and other trustees.

There was no legal or factual way out. There were normal prisons in wartime Germany, which like any other prison you could leave once you had served your time. The camps were a one way prison.

There were however a few ways out. Usually, camp guards were vastly outnumbered by prisoners, and though paradoxically it was safer to be inside and 'hide' in the crowd, escape was not altogether that difficult. The problem was staying out. People managed to cut through or dig under the wires, sneak out in the trunks of trucks and cars or wear costumes and disguises. Others bribed their way out or simply ran for it. All these methods had varying (low) degrees of success. Most survivors simply survived inside until the war was over.

Once escape was detected, there would be punitive actions against the remaining prisoners, another deterrent for would-be escapees.

By far the most difficult aspect was to stay free once outside. After escaping, people found themselves alone and hungry in the middle of occupied territory, hunted down by everyone. Local residents in nearby towns were rewarded with money and food when they turned in escapees.

Look up "Witold Pilecki" on Wikipedia. He is the only man in history to have volunteered to go to a concentration camp. He found it harder to get in than to get out.

Another good reference is 'the way back', a movie about escaping a Siberian concentration camp.

In at least one incredible instance, resistance people managed to smuggle a camera in and out to take pictures.

They were treated like every other Jew captured no acceptations.

The Jews were isolated in Europe in ways such as Jewish quarters and wearing "yellow stars" or the symbol of the Jewish faith. They often put Jews in ghettos.

The Nazi regime itself took steps to hush up the holocaust. The extermination was supposed to be kept secret ... The extermination camps at Belzec and Treblinka were destroyed in 1943 ... When Soviet forces approached Auschwitz, the gas chambers were blown up and records destroyed - by the Nazis. A few mavericks and cranks denied the Holocaust in the 1960s but gained little attention. Holocaust denial on a large scale started in the 1970s. It went hand in hand with claims that Zionists had exaggerated the Holocaust in order to win sympathy internationally for the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This made Holocaust denial popular in much of the Middle East.

Peace in 1944 and it wasn't a christmas cake.

If you mean the communities that they conquered or took over during the war, the reaction was mixed. There was a lot of fear, but after the battles, the resistance was often low, since people didn't want to be harmed under the new regime. Some people resisted secretly, and some people openly welcomed them and agreed with their policies.

There were close to 12 million deaths at the end of the Holocaust. 6 million were Jews, 5 million were Poles, and the 1 million was made up of Gypsies, Slavs, dissabled, and homosexuals.

Buchenwald, though initially it was called Ettersberg (for a couple of weeks or so).

If you're asking what kind of devices were used to KILL people in the concentration camps (in Germany during WWII)... Gas chambers were a big thing. The Nazis would make the prisoners take off all their clothes and anything that had value. They told them they were going to take showers, so they put them in a huge room, but when the showers turned on, water did not come out. Gas did. Eventually they all died. Another way they used to kill the prisoners was to make them dig wholes in the ground then they would shoot so they would fall straight back into the whole that they dug ... they were basically forced to dig their own graves.

He didn't. He didn't want war with Britain but Britain and France declared war on Germany in September 1939.

Corrie ten Boom died on April 15, 1983 at the age of 91.

From February 1944 until the camp administration released Corrie ten Boom in late December 28th 1944. Betsie (her sister) knew that she would be out before the new year.

No, we treated them like anyone else. (Government wise) I don't know if individual people had their own feelings.

Christians did the killing, they were not the victims.

Various clergy were arrested by the Nazis, after a changeable relationship.

There was a concorde between the Papacy and the Nazis, but this concerned Germany, not Poland where clerics were arrested.

The Protestant Church actually had some clergy who opposed Hitler, but this was all very late, after the war had started. Martin Niemoeller was perhaps the most famous.

My favourite Christian from the Holocaust was Saint Maximilian Kolbe who took the place of someone who was due to die in a 'starvation' cell.

eugenics, being a theory was used to justify the persecution of the Jews, the killing was debatably a natural outcome of the Nazis' political philosophy (which included eugenics). The very same theories were being used in the US to deny Jews (and others) entry into the US, but there it did not lead to mass murder, eugenics alone can not account for the killing of the Jews.

No they did not As a mater of fact they even lost their fillings. their hair was used for various reasons. there are many possessions that were the property of Jews and people that were accused of being Jews that are to this day not recovered and returned to the family's of those that were killed. When you were taken as a Jew in Germany during that time for all intents and purposes you ceased to be regarded as a human being.

The attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was attacked at 7:55 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Our troops were mostly sleeping or on leave. By the time the attack was over at 9:40 we had 2403 sailors or civilians dead or trapped soon to be lost. Japan we felt was negotiating with us in an effort to prevent a war prior to that point. Our country could not sit by and allow another to attack us, kill our brothers, neighbors, friends, without stepping into the war. We had already been providing funds, and weapons, as well as a few of our pilots willing to fight to our European allies.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that the US was drawn into the European part of WW 2 because Hitler declared war on the US shortly after Pearl Harbor.

This put the US in a tougher position if it only had one theater of war.

Hitler was not present. The most senior Nazi at the meeting was Heydrich. The Wannsee Conference did not take any policy decisions: it was concerned with co-ordinating the roles of the various agencies involved in carrying out the "Final Solution" (Holocaust), such as the SS, the local police, the railways and so on.

According to the Jewish Virtual Library, world Jewish population in 1939 was 16,728,000.

The US Holocaust Memorial indicates that European Jewish population in 1933 was approximately 9.5 million, 60% of world Jewish population (15.3 million) and 1.7% of the overall European population.
