Holocaust

Anne's "Secret Annexe" was hidden behind a cupboard that opened like a door. She mentions in her diary that her and her family walked around with bumps on their heads for the first week or two.

First, it should be noted that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. The were an additional 5 million non-Jewish victims of the Holocaust and there are numerous civilians who died in World War II without connection to the Holocaust.

As for why he killed those that he killed, please see the Related Questions below.

About 7.3 million jews were captured and

6.83 million of them were killed

i would help you but i don't know what event sorry:)

Hitler had a seething hatred for the Jews, and blamed them for most of Germany's economic and social problems. After he came to power, Jewish families were split up and sent (at first) to labour camps and (later) to death camps.

Long story short, he didn't treat them like humans. He treated them like insects that needed to be squashed.

Yes, of course!! Many people helped out the Jews by providing food and shelter. Raoul Wallenberg was a famous Jew rescuer that housed Jews in Swedish buildings. Another rescuer includes Paul Gruninger who backdated Jewish passports to allow Jewish refugees to enter Switzerland

From the Related Link below: ; holocaust : c.1250, "sacrifice by fire, burnt offering," from Gk. holokauston,neut. of holokaustos "burned whole," from holos"whole" (see safe (adj.)) + kaustos, verbal adj. of kaiein "to burn." Originally a Bible word for "burnt offerings," given wider sense of "massacre, destruction of a large number of persons" from 1833. The Holocaust "Nazi genocide of European Jews in World War II," first recorded 1957, earlier known in Heb. as Shoah "catastrophe." The word itself was used in Eng. in ref. to Hitler's Jewish policies from 1942, but not as a proper name for them. "Auschwitz makes all too clear the principle that the human psyche can create meaning out of anything." [Robert Jay Lifton, "The Nazi Doctors"]

November 9, 1938, The Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels announced a government sanctioned general reprisal against the Jews. Synagogues were ravaged and then burned. Jewish shop windows were broken. Homes were entered and pillaged. Jews were beaten, raped, arrested, and murdered. This happened throughout the countries of Germany and Austria.

There were hundreds of people who helped Hitler in killing the Jews, from party officials to the people working in the concentration and extermination camps, so it would be too many to name them all, and practically impossible.

They were killed in concentration camps. They were starved to death, died of typhus (a disease very popular then) and they were burned to death.

some were killed by mobile killing units. Sometimes they were pulled out of there homes and shot in broad day light! sometimes they would gas them to death then burn their bodies so there was no evidence.

E: Actually, most prisoners were gassed (with carbdon monoxide or later on, zyklon b), then their corpses were burned or buried. This was the preferred method. There were also death marches and mass shootings.

Also, along with typhus, many of them died of dysentery, which ran rampant in the camps.

Israel proclaimed its Independence on 19 May 1948. Before that, there was not any State on the territory of Palestine except Jordan which was not an independent State either as all the territory of Palestine was under the British Mandate.

The Nazi's called it the "Final Solution" for the "Jewish problem". The Nazi's considered this revenge for all the things that the Jews had done (or accussed of doing). The truth did not matter. Hitler had convinced enough Germans to hate the Jews, and then kill them for things that they were falsely accussed of.

They were either known Jews, or were ratted out by people they knew. During the beginning of the war, Jews were required to register as much by their governments. In most places, it was required by law that they mark themselves as Jews, by wearing a Star of David on their clothing. They were then rounded up and moved into Ghettos, or taken to concentration camps, where they would separate the men from the women, the elderly from the fit, the mothers and children from the single women. Then they were examined, and those who were not fit for labor were killed.

One to three months if you avoided immediate selection. ___ It varied considerably depending on: * The precise type of camp * The kind of work allocated to the prisoner * The actual time when the prisoner was sent there * The category of prisoner A few prisoners succeeded in surviving for several years.

== == Everything, including life, liberty and property. Women's hair was cut off before they were gassed - and was used to stuff furniture in Germany! Their clothing was recycled ... This was known and there were even jokes circulating in Germany to the effect that government-issue wartime soap was made of "Jews' fat". == ==

Typically in any pogrom or genocide against the Jews, the Jews were killed in close proximity to where they lived, usually in the same town. The Holocaust was relatively unique in that Jews were first confined to ghettos and then shipped across the empire to concentration camps, labor camps, and death camps. Most of the outright-killing and gassing occurred at the death camps. However, abuse from guards, starvation, and disease killed many in the ghettos, concentration camps, and the labor camps.

It was much more a matter of ideology than practical politics. It may be helpful to bear in mind that the Nazis believed that most Jews were Communists, and that Communism was Jewish.
Please see the related questions below.

Heinrich Luitpold Himmler was the Nazi leader who wrote the memo asking an SS officer to prepare a plan for the final solution of the Jewish problem. He was head of the Gestapo, German police, and head of the SS.

It depends... I went to Auschwitz in Poland and they didn't specify the amount of water they got, it was nowhere near 8 glasses, that's for sure.

I said 'It depends' because Jews were treated differantly on the level of importance they were to Hitler. For example, if they were a child and they were being used for experiments like 'how long can they go without food', they would get very little, most of the time that being nothing. However, if they were working, able-bodied men and woman, they might be lucky to get a over a glass, most of that being included in their dinner of bread and water.

During the Holocaust, the water rations were different. For slave Labour people, they received 100ml of Water daily. For people who was working as Kapos, if they decided t, they would have 250-500ml of Water daily.

Tolerated but viewed with suspicion. === === The position varied from country to country. Until 1917 Russia and the other countries of the Russian Empire (such as Ukraine) had an appalling reputation for antisemitism. Soon after the Bolshevik Revolution that changed, but re-ermerged around 1950, towards the end of Stalin's rule. In many parts of Europe, 'the Jews' were associated after the Russian Revolution (1917) with Communism and, more generally, with subversion. All kinds of ridiculous conspiracy theories circulated, especially in the regions along the Danube. For much of the interwar peiod Poland and Romania also had a reputation for 'official' antisemitism; also to a lesser extent, Hungary and Austria. In Western Europe, France was widely associated with organized antisemitism , partly because of the Dreyfus Affair and because of the antisemitism of the Action Francaise, an extreme right-wing group in French politics. Before World War 2 all kinds of anti-Jewish attitudes were widely considered acceptable. For example, some of the things that Virginia Woolf wrote in the 1920s and 1930s about Jews (despite being happily married to a Jew) would now be regarded as outrageous. Nevertheless, after the Kristallnacht ('Night of the Broken Glass') she contributed money to help Jewish refugees from Germany. So, some people's feelings were far from straightforward. Ironically, before the Nazis came to power, Germany had a reputation for being generally tolerant towards Jews, except in Bavaria. In 1933 most of the German Jews were completely taken by surprise; almost none had made any practical arrangements to leave Germany in the event of the Nazis coming tp power.
