Holocaust

Systematic, large-scale killings began in 1941. By that stage the Nazis simply took it for granted that the Jews were enemies of Germany, Communists, very dangerous and evil. They did not 'make excuses' or go in for explanations - after all, the genocide was top secret'. They simply did it. Please see the related question.

Adolf Hitler had been occasionally beaten as a child by his father and most were very intense. However, there are many other domestic (home related) issues that contributed to his adulthood behavior. His father's absense, his mother's illness, are two very important structures of behavioral outcomes. Before he became 18, his parents both were dead.

There were three uprisings, all by the Sonderkommandos at extermination camps * Trelinka II (1943) * Sobibor (1943) * Auschwitz II (1944) The uprisings at Treblinka and Sobibor were mass breakouts. Many of those who broke out were recaptured. About 40 of the prisoners who broke out of Treblinka and 150 of those who broke out of Sobibor were still alive at the end of World War 2. The uprising at Auschwitz-Birkenau was different. Some female prisoners working in the munitions industry smuggled in explosives and the Sonderkommando blew up one of the crematoria.

== == The following are the types of camps that were used in the Holocaust:

* "Concentration camps" is the generic term for the prison camps maintained by the Third Reich. * "Labor camps" were those that were maintained for the purpose of exploiting slave labor. * "Extermination camps" were six camps located in Poland where the mass murder of Jews and others took place. Many of the concentration camps were complexes of several camps and some had dual functions. At the Auschwitz complex, for example, most of the genocide took place in a subcamp called Birkenau. There was also a labor camp named Monowitz that was part of the complex where an artificial rubber plant was built. Likewise, Treblinka, another extermination camp, was part of a complex of three camps, two of which were used for slave labor.

The Renaissance Period was characterized by domination of the Christian faith - and was one of mankind's most successful and productive epochs.

Those leaders influence by the peaceful, cooperative, universal ethics of Christianity were obviously against the pernicious influence of Judaism with it's emphasis on Jewish rights and values - as opposed to universal values espoused by Christianity. Though Jews brought monetary gain - and they also brought much inequity, vice and subterfuge as per their religious beliefs - i.e anti-gentilism, Jewish supremacism etc . As such European leaders sought the removal of these elements, most thought quite understandably.

One of the most promising and successful periods in history was brought to an end by Napoleon's emancipation of the Jews in the late 1700s...

It finally caused all the concentrations camps to be liberated and holocause victims set free..

Many of the camps had satellite camps, some of which functioned for only fairly short periods of time. The Wikipedia article - see below - gives the names of the main camps and some information about the satellite camps.

== == == == == == == == == == == == At that stage, the German Jews tried to go to practically any country that would accept them. The preferred country for most was the U.S. but immigration was very tightly controlled. Some managed to go to Argentina or Uruguay and the more desperate refugees ended up in Shanghai (then under Japanese control). Others went to Britain, Australia and anywhere that would take them ... Many were unable to get out and perished in the holocaust. Some fled to France, Belgium and the Netherlands, which all came under German control in May-June 1940 ...

1945, when Buchenwald was liberated.

By killing them

The Nazi's instituted a series of controls, called Pogroms, that were used to undermine the Jews daily activities & lives. Each pogrom would be more severe, escalating to what was known as the Final Solution. As the Nazis were in total control of the government after the Burning of the Reichstag, they managed to legislate many atrocities into law.

OK.......here is one who was apart of the Dutch underground. Her and those like her, spurred into action by their Christian convictions, did what they could. Many died in the camps as well, including Ms. Ten Booms family. She barely made it out. I think we often focus on the darkness(what went wrong and the enormity of the darkness), which is right and proper to a point, instead of focusing on the points of light that fought the Nazi's. I believe it would do us well to look at what went right, and learn from it. http://www.soon.org.uk/true_stories/holocaust.htm

No, the SS was all-male. However, there were female concentration camps guards, some of whom were extremely sadistic and some were tried and hanged after World War 2.

The other close parallel is the Armenian Holocaust 1915-1917.

Other examples include the massacres of the Tutsis by the Hutus in Rwanda in 1994. the genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks in 1915-1917 - but one can be jailed in modern Turkey for talking about the latter.

indirectly, Jews died on trains because of the conditions that the Nazis sujected them to.

The Star of David is no particular color, but rather is a shape.

In the flag of the State of Israel, the Star of David is blue on a white background. In some parts of Nazi-controlled Europe before and during World War II, Jews were forced to wear yellow Stars of David on their clothing.

These concentration camps were ended after Hitler committed suicide and when the war ended. These people were all released that were still there.

This is a contentious question and I dissent quite strongly from the view in the Community Answer.

There were various countries in a good position to help Jews and that were aware of the existence of Jewish persecution in Nazi-Occupied Europe. Most importantly, Britain, Canada, and the US routinely rejected the immigration of refugees fleeing the conflict and sent them to Europe. It would be a trivial burden for the United States especially to have given refuge to the incoming Jews and absorb that population. It would similarly have been trivial for the British to reverse the White Paper of 1939 and permit Jews to flee to Mandatory Palestine. Similarly, Allied Air Commanders chose not to bomb the rail-lines to the Death Camps, even though doing so would have delayed thousands if not tens of thousands of deaths.

There is a reason today, for example, that the US used airlifts to save the Yezidis on Mount Sinjar from the genocidal intentions of Islamic State and this because it is morally correct to use military power to stop or limit genocide. That the Allied Powers took no unique methods to stop this, even with minimal expenditure is a completely legitimate criticism to lob at them.

Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany's losing the First World War. He also considered them members of a cosmopolitan intelligentsia whose ideals were against the militaristic ideals of Hitler's ideology.

This is an excellent question and shows, no matter how horrific the holocaust was, that ALL Jews (even those that didn't survive) had great faith and because of their devoted faith it saved some of their lives (a will to live.) Whether we are Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, etc., if we believe hard enough it makes us braver, strong spiritually and gives us hope. If we know we will die we can still give strength to those to go on ahead of us and let the world know about these horrific tragedies.

It depends entirely on which moment of history. The country that has accepted the largest number of Jewish refugees in history is likely Israel (1948-Present), but the US (1850-Present), France (1950-Present), the Ottoman Empire (1400-1800), Poland (1200-1500), and China (1850-1950), accepted hundreds of thousands if not millions of Jewish immigrants and refugees.

The Nazis had a major problem with the Jews and this is still remembered many years later. The rampage took place in 1938 and it is called the Kristallnacht.

Anne Levy survived the Holocaust. Anne Levy was four years old when the Nazis attacked and occupied Poland in September 1939. Her family survived two years in the Warsaw ghetto. In January 1943, the family escaped the ghetto and survived the rest of the war pretending to be Christians. Anne, her parents, and her younger sister Lila are among the very few Jewish families in Poland who survived the Holocaust. They moved to New Orleans in 1949.
