Holocaust

Anne Frank and her mother died during the Holocaust after the Nazis found the building she was hiding in. Anne Frank and her sister died of typhus in a concentration camp when she was 15. Her diary was saved by Miep Gaes, one of the people that hid the Frank family. The diary was later giver to her father when he was liberated from Auschwitz.

The Nazis came to power on 30 January 1933. On 1 April 1933 Jewish businesses in Berlin were boycotted and in the following few days Jews were banned from employment in the public sector at all levels from central government to local authority level. Most Jewish students were expelled from colleges and universities.

Before 1 April 1933 there were some cases of Jews being beaten up in the street with impunity by Nazi stormtroopers.

no, it was often by the promise of refreshment after the 'shower' that they could get people to undress willingly.

No, the Warsaw Ghetto was for Polish Jews and had been completely destroyed over a year before Anne Frank was caught. She was sent to Westerbork transit camp and from there to Auschwitz.

when he was born he heard that he had some j e w i s h blood from his dads side and he disliked his father cause he was very abusive. H i t l e r also hated his nose and quotes " I don't like my nose, I look like a j e w ". At the beginning he was an artist, he wanted to go to the top art school (in munich I believe) when he applied, he painted many many painting of landscapes, he was strong in that perspective, but his failure to get into the school was because he couldn't draw people. The head of the college were all j e w s . after that he joined the army because he didn't have anything better to do in his life because his art career never happened. He fought through the war, he won many metals for surviving more then I believe 10 battles. The number of g e r m a n s in the world war one were white c h r i s t i a n s and c a t h o l i c s. He noticed that the j e w s weren't in the army and their the reason g e r m a n y failed. He decided after his military service to join a society called the N a t i o n a l g e r m a n w o r k e r s p a r t y . The used the nick name N a z i. H i t l e r gained some hated to j e w s, and his friends weren't j e w s . The group supported h i t l e r in speaking at beer halls his first speech was in hofbrau haus. (I believe that's how you spell it.) His speech disrupted performing Jews in a band I believe. He got ride of them with help, and he began his speech. Racist and yet influential words grew people to listen, yet some people left and thought he was bad and left.. At the speaking ever some j e w s agreed with Hitler. As Hitler climbed the later to success is by getting help from the USA and realizing that g e r m a n s are beautiful and pure great religion belief, Hitler called his ruling the 3rd rich, after c h r i s t i a n history of j e w persecution and stories. His was like a political member and slowly because the head of Germany. the hatred only grew or stunted because he was getting it his way. he said he will never live in a j e w i s h world so he killed himself and even killed his dogs because he didn't want to live them with j e w s ruling or still being around.

There are four Einsatzgruppen - A, B, C and D. Each had about 500-800 men but they recruited extra killers from the local population ... For example, in Lithuania they found 33,000 enthusiatic volunteers many of whom carried on killing way beyond the borders of Lithuania.

They believed in a phony theory of Pure Aryan Race. This is a non-existent race. They believed the Jews were not Aryan and they were the cause for all the ills of the world. They chose to follow a plan called the Final Solution to exterminate all the Jews "in the world", meaning Europe, and to send the Aryans all over Europe to procreate and make a perfect race for the 1000 year Third Reich. So Aryan ism motivated them and they committed millions of murders in the name of it. See the link below.

-Jewish had to wear yellow star

-They weren't allowed to drive

-No playing sport

-They are only allowed to shop between 3 and 5 o'clock

The Holocaust (In Hebrew: HaShoah -- In Yiddish: Churben)

Also can be referred to as the final solution.

Zyklon B was the trade name of a cyanide-based pesticide infamous for its use by Nazi Germany against human beings in gas chambers of extermination camps during the Holocaust. Death of the people inside the gas chamber occurred after a few minutes as a result of internal suffocation caused by the prussic acid halting the exchange of oxygen between the blood and tissues.

Degesch played a key role in the manufacturing of Zyklon B in World War II. Degesch's role at this point was limited to acquiring patents and intellectual property: it did not itself produce Zyklon B. During the years of the camps, millions of Zyklon canisters were delivered into most Nazi camps.

There were various conspiracy theories circulating at the time about Jews as Communists and subversives. Please see the related question for much fuller answers.
Hitler blamed Jews because he was a anti-semite. He did not like Jews because he thought they caused all of Germany's trouble and started the huge depression after they lost in World War I because Jews were really rich and the Germans were in poverty. They had to sign a treaty that took a lot of power away from Germany. In 1933, he was announced chancellor of Germany by the president and began taking his hatred against Jews to extreme measures. There was Kristallnacht(The Night of Broken Glass) and then the extermination of Jews. Read Hitler's own book Mein Kampf to get a better understanding of why he hated Jews.

There were many indistrial jobs, such as tailors and seamstresses, cobblers and machinists, as the ghettos had to sell products to the SS in order to buy food.

There were also all kinds of normal jobs, doctors, nurses, teachers, firemen, policemen, waiters, shopkeepers and civil servants. The ghettos were micro-societies, almost every job which existed in a normal city existed in the ghettos.

there was only one camp where Jewish families were allowed to live together, otherwise they were too tired to do much in their time off.

Heydrich got married in 1931 , most likely

In the post-World War II era, the formation of the independent nation of Israel was partly dictated by the Holocaust in several ways. For one thing, it displaced nearly countless numbers of Jews from their European homes; at the same time, it put up both physical and moral barriers to any return to those homes by the Jews once the conflict had ended. For another thing, it created a generally sympathetic mind-set toward Jews by large portions of Western populations and leadership. In these ways, the formation of a home-land for the Jews was seen by many as a kind of moral necessity, along with various historical justifications that were also cited for it.

It means "undesirable people" who would ruin the goal of a pure Aryan race with good, whole, healthy people. This meant they had a goal of ruling a Europe with only "Aryan" people. This term by the way is a made up term Hitler latched onto and is not a scientific or medical term of any people groups. Anyhow, Jews, communists, mentally ill people, dwarfs and other people with genetic anomalies, feeble minded people who were brain damaged or mentally underdeveloped, blacks, Slavs, and other politically bad people were all considered undesirable. There were probably categories I don't even know about included in their concept of undesirable. They killed them off or used them for medical experiments.

Actually their method varied by areas. In Poland for example, they would pass legislation restricting where Jews could live, forming a ghetto that could be walled in. In Russia, they would just post a notice that all Jews within a certain area were required to assemble at a prescribed location from which they would board the deportation trains

The Jews resisted the Nazis while they were in ghettos in many different ways. First of all, the less violent ways are that they would illegally educate the children, they would practice their religion and celebrate Jewish holidays, and other non violent things like printing underground Jewish newspapers. Other ways of resisting that they would take part in would be when the Nazis came to deport them to concentration and German death camps, they would know what was coming. Therefore, they would organize groups of fighters that would fight and resist the German Nazis. Since their numbers of fighters and home made ammunition would be so poor and small, they knew that they had no chance in winning against the Nazis. Even though they knew this, they would have rather died fighting than went to their deaths knowingly and willingly.

Hope this helped!

In many countries Jehovah's Witnesses suffered a great persecution during WW2. Perhaps the greatest persecution occurred in Germany and the Soviet Union.

In Germany Jehovah's Witnesses (back then called Bible students - Bibelforscher in German) refused to support Hitler, because they always stay neutral on political matters. This led to their throwing into concentration camps and as a result some of them died. Unlike Jews if a Witness wanted to be released from a concentration camp, he simply had to sign a document stating he no longer want to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Very few did this. In Russia the situation was similar. Due to their neutrality Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted and thrown into prisons. The same happened in other countries as well.

Well, a rough estimate is probably about 1.5 billion.

Looking at any random century, about 25-50% of its born population dies in wars.

Today, they are are about 5 billion people on earth. This is actually more living people than have ever died, due to the population growth curve.

So estimate that 4 billion or so humans have lived and died. 1.5 billion is a rough shot at how many died as a result of war.

In the early stages of the Counter Reformation (Council of Trent, 1545-63) there was a renewed wave of persecution, mainly in some Roman Catholic regions, especially in the City of Rome itself.
