How long did the gas chambers take to kill the Jews?
the workers at Auschwitz were terrible. they would disguise the gas chambers as showers and would make the inmates take towels, undress and enter the gas chambers 2 thousand at a time. inmates would wonder why water was not coming out of the shower heads. instead of water, hydrogen cyanide would come and take its toll. in 20 to 30 minutes all 2 thousand people would be dead. S.S. fighters would enter the gas chambers with gas masks and search for survivors. if found live inmates would still be taken to the crematorium and burned alive with the passed inmates. S.S. fighters would take the gold crowns off of inmates teeth and cut all hair, partial scalps included, and sell the hair because it was good for the German economy

Did imperialism benefit the people it happened to?
In many cases, people have thought that imperialism has been non-beneficial towards the country. In my opinion, Japan started to go down when they abolished imperialism. japan worked just fine as it was, though there were poor peasants, it still worked out for them. I mean, what country to this day, doesn't have poor people? there isn't a society to this date that has been able to abolish poverty, so, to me, imperialism had a little more control over the people than any other government to this date.
A crematorium is the same thing as a crematory. Here, any corpses are cremated (turned to ashes). There were many of these during Holocaust, because of all the death camps.
How were mentally challenged people treated throughout history?
In the ancient and medieval worlds, many more people were physically and mentally challenged than there are in the United States, or practically anywhere, today. There were no operations to fix club feet, or cleft palates, or heart murmurs. There were no antidepressants or antipsychotics for people who heard voices, or any hospitals for them to go to. When people broke bones or dislocated shoulders, they often were not set right and healed wrong, so that you lost the use of your arm or leg. When children didn't get enough milk, they got rickets and their legs would be weak and bent, so they couldn't walk well. Eye infections, with no antibiotics, often left people blind in one or both eyes. Ear infections often left people deaf. And even if you were only near-sighted, there were no glasses to help you see. People's attitudes toward physically and mentally challenged people were also very different then. A lot of people thought that some kinds of physical or mental differences brought you closer to the gods. Blind people, especially blind children, were often thought to know what the gods (or what God) wanted. Epileptics were also thought to be close to the gods. People who heard voices, like Joan of Arc, often became important religious leaders. Many challenged people supported their families by prophecy. On the other hand, differences that you could see, like bent legs or club feet, sometimes people thought these meant that the gods didn't like you. The Greeks, especially, thought that the gods liked bodies to be perfect. Because of this, sometimes people exposed their babies if their bodies weren't just right, and sometimes people were cruel to these children as they were growing up.

Did Hitler kill his mother because she was Jewish?
Hitler hated the Jews for a lot of reasons. One was because he thought they had "back-stabbed" Germany during WW1.
Most unlikely. His mother died in 1907 and, according to Ian Kershaw's highly acclaimed biography, the first evidence of real antisemitism on Hitler's part dates from 1916.
I've read that Hitler was actually quite grateful to the Jewish doctor who treated his mother, additionally, he allowed the doctor to escape Nazi Germany unscathed later on. I think that if he was that angry at the doctor, he probably would have had him sent to a concentration camp.
See the related questions.

Was it cold at the concentration camps?
Extremely! Many accounts (Auschwitz, Ravensbruck, etc.) state that if a building was meant for 300, the Nazis would fit 700 or so. When the Danish Red Cross were visiting the transit camp Theresienstadt, many inmates were shipped to Auschwitz due to the over-crowdingness.
What was the daily life at Dachau?
Some Jews were immediently gassed upon arrival. However...
You would wake up and work, for example, carry anvils to make weapons for the war and get turnip soup and potato peels. There was very little room full of many people. You would sleep on bunks next to around 3 or 4 people. It was cold and you would be beaten if you didn't do something right but that's only if you're lucky. The smell of the dead was around, and disgusting.
When Jews were marching and someone stepped out of line they would be shot and then creamated; if you we're a child you would probably go straight to the gas chamber; if you were a woman [often] the same thing would happen; if you were a man you were more lucky if you worked in the end they still would have killed you. It was a devastating time.
Why did the nazi target the Jews that owned businesses?
The Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, boycotted the Jews business out of jealously. The Jews, historically good businessmen, were prospering in Germany greater than other businessmen. The National Socialists, out of jealousy, began to boycott the Jews and spread lies in order to steal the business back.
Negative! The above quote is a total lie. In 1933, The World Jewish Congress, led by S Untermeyer, started this 'war' by initiating a worldwide boycott on German goods to protest Adolph Hitler' s democratic election to the chancellory position. (London Times, another Jewish controlled paper had an article "Judea Declares Declares War on Germany" in '33) Hitler challenged Jewish banking and economic power in Germany by passing various laws and resolutions unfavorable to jewry, especially contol of the money supply. He cut out the international finance, contolled by Jews, on German trade which propelled a bankrupt Germany with 25% unemployment in '33 to full employment/surplus and economic success in '39. Angered by laws targeting against Jews in finance and culture in Germany in those years, a young Jew named Greespahn murdered a popular German diplomat in Paris (2nd Jew on German officials' assasination), i believe in 38. Naturally the German people, angered by these Jewish assisnations on state officials started the kristallnacht. There is some evidence that the Grynspan assasination was paid by Zionists with prior German govt approval, Google' out IHR and search
Why did hitler hate the jews and the retarded?
Whether he hated them or not is beside the issue; he saw no place for them in his society, so they had to go.
The retarded, and other mentally ill were, in part, unable to contribute to society and Hitler did not want them to breed nor did he want them to be a drain on the nation's resources.
The Jews were initially used as a scapegoat for political ends and Hitler professed a hatred for them and blamed them for anything and everything.
How many Jews survived in Poland?
Around 3 million Polish Jews were murdered by the German occupiers. It is estimated that there had been around 3.3 to 3.5 million Polish Jews in 1939.

It is generally held that 300,000 survived the Holocaust. Many emigrated to Israel and America after the war.

Until August 1941 Jews were encouraged to leave Germany, though under disadvantageous conditions. They also had to find somewhere to go to, which usually was not at all easy, and they needed someone (such as a relative) or something (such as a job) to go to - or had to depend on charity. From September 1941 onwards, they were kept in Germany so that they could be killed. In other words, there was a major change in policy.
