Where did the Jews live during the Holocaust?
They were usually hiding from the Nazi's in abandoned buildings, as for the unlucky Jews, they were living in concentration camps.
___
Most of them were living in ghettos. Very few were in hiding. After all, hiding for a long time is difficult.
What percentage of the Jews were killed in the Holocaust?
There is no certainty to this issue but probably 30% is close. Due to falsification of records after the war, lack of clear census data, etc. there is no way to get a correct answer to this question.
Answer 2
About 30-35%. There was no 'falsification of records'.
Answer 3
Estimates of the world's Jewish population as of 1939 are about 16.5 million. There were about 11 million as of 1949. Given that a normal birth and death rate for that population, 16.5 million should have grown to about 18 million over that same time period. Reputable estimates of the number of Jews killed during the Holocaust are about 6 million. That's very much in line with the above numbers - i.e. if you started at 16.5 and should have ended up at 18, but really ended at 11, that's 6 in deaths (and the associated births that did not happen because of the extra deaths).
So, 6 / 16.5 = 36%
Note that we have no way to accurately count the worldwide population. All numbers in that regard are statistical analysis of various populations at the time, and thus, are approximations.
When did the Allies find the concentration camps?
The Allies found out from different sources. Jews who escaped capture, and renegade German soldiers etc. The problem was is that no one could believe that anyone could be that evil. The Americans that came in and liberated the camps were stricken. They could not believe what they found. We can talk all we want to about the serial murders that have existed over time. No one compares to the Nazi's and the scope of their murders.
The History Man
How were the Jews treated in Germany from 1933 to 1945?
Anti-Semetism has existed for centuries, but in many countries they were accepted or at least tolerated. Nazi Germany used the Jews as scapegoats and blamed all of their postwar economic problems on them. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped Jews of German Citizenship and basic rights. It led to their isolation and extermination.
What did prisoners eat at the concentration camps?
There was mostly thin soups, sometimes with spare veggies and potatoes, along with some bread and occasionally black coffee. Sometimes bread and some jam.
Anything they could obtain, since the alloted ration guaranteed death by starvation. ___ The usual food was thin soup with some added cereal or potato and sometimes cabbage.
What happened to the bodies of the people that were killed in concentration camps?
At first may were buried after they were used as slave labor and died but so many were being sent to the camps, that they over whelmed the staff and the camp commanders began to burn them. It always amazed me that Hitler spent so much time, money, equipment and troops to do this. He should have paid more attention to the war.
Why did Adolf Hitler single out the Jews?
Hitler blamed the Jews for many problems happening in Germany at the time, including economic problems, the loss of WWI, and many others so that he could gain power in a country that was struggling. He also had serious racism problems, and might have been affected mentally. The Jewish people did nothing. Some say that he observed Jewish people faring well while he was a poor young man trying to become a famous artist in Vienna, Austria, or had extreme hatred for his Jewish father and wanted revenge.
What happened to Jews after they were liberated during World War 2?
They had to be restored to physical health. Then some went home, if they had a home to go to. Many others were put in camps for 'displaced persons and a number went to Israel, and some to the US.
How many Jews living in Poland were killed during the Nazi occupation of Poland?
2.9-3.0 Million Polish Jews were killed in the Holocaust. There were numerous other pogroms and attacks on the Jewish community in Poland throughout the centuries, especially between 1795 and 1919 when the country of Poland was occupied by Prussia/Germany, Austria/Austria-Hungary, and Russia.
Same way. They turned them over to the Germans, exported them to camps, and allowed the SS to arrest them. Anything the Nazi wanted they gave.
Is there a map that shows where the death camps in Poland were?
The German occupiers set-up labour, concentration and death camps in occupied Poland. The Nazi created the death camps of Auschwitz II (Auschwitz-Birkenau), Chełmno, Bełżec, Majdanek, Sobibór and Treblinka. The Nazi German also created many concentration camps such as Auschwitz I.
When were the first extermination camps set up by the Nazis?
The first Nazi extermination camp - that is a 'killing facility', designed to kill prisoners as soon as practical after arrival (usually within 12- 48 hours after arrival) - was Chelmno, which began routine mass gassings on 8 December 1941. Most of the extermination camps began operation from March 1942 on/
Please see related question.
What proportion of the Jewish population died in the Holocaust?
6 million out of an overall population of about 9.7 European Jews. Some Jews, for example, those in Britain were not in danger. Approaching two thirds of the European Jews died.
What were the Jews feed in the concentration camps?
They got fed sloppy porridge everyday and when they were lucky they got fed mushed up peas !!!!!Gross OR What?
Where did the Jewish kids hide during world war 2?
Well, in denmark, the Jewish people traveled and lived in Sweden until the war was over.
Why did the clothes that the Jewish people wore have the Star of David on it at the Nazi camps?
yes in the concentration camps the Jews still had to wear the star of david it was one of the ways the German Nazi's could futher degrade the Jews and also tell them apart from local folk near by.
Why did the Germans make the Jews live in ghettos?
The Nazis saw Jews as 'unclean' people. They initiated what they called a 'race purge' which we know as the massively genocidal pursuing of the Jews today, but mind you they didn't only kill Jews, actually far from it. Jews might have been the superiority of the 'races' they murdered, but they were also after handicapped, gays, people who didn't possess the sheer physical appearance that Hitler preferred (blond, short hair, blue eyes and fair skin), and gypsies, just to name a few. We only know more about the Jews because they might like bringing it up more than other folks?
How did the Jews try and escape Nazi Europe?
Anne Frank and her family left Germany in 1933 because they were Jews. The Nazis had just come to power and were persecuting (systematically harassing) the Jews.
Anne and her family moved to the Netherlands (Holland) but in 1940 the Nazis invaded the Netherlands ... Two years later the Franks went into hiding. During the day they had to keep hid behind a secret bookcase. During the night they had to move around very quietly.
What was Hitler's program of genocide?
The actual campaign is usually called the Holocaust.
_____
There are many questions wrapped up in this. How did Hitler and the Germans come to hate the presence of Jews? How could they deceive themselves on the beliefs, ideals and history of Jews? How did Hitler proceed to exterminate them? His plan is stated in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. He was himself one-quarter Jewish, consulted a revered Jewish family doctor and was in physical appearance far from the model Aryan type. As a young man, he failed to gain admittance to art school, and blamed intriguing, including by Jews, against him. Like many Germans, he also sought a scapegoat for Germany's defeat in the First World War. A widely read piece of forgery presented the Jews as members of a worldwide conspiracy to dominate the world. This combination of factors fed a dangerously disturbed mind.
Hatred of Jews, jealousy and resentment against Jewish success, and opportunistic looting of Jewish property has recurred throughout European history. England in the 13th century committed the first European pogrom against them. Nazi Germany was the worst but not the last instance of the phobia against Jews. The German aim to cleanse their country's supposed racial purity extended to proscription of other races, like gypsies and Slavs, and to the mentally handicapped. It was based on ignorance. Hitler was atheistic but the church leaders were mostly tolerant of his antics, since the Catholic Church had not overthrown the hints in the Bible that Jews should forever bear responsibility for the death of Jesus. Of course, this is a false, wicked and indeed absurd, doctrine.
What are some songs that relate to the Holocaust?
Kenji by Fort Minor is a song about the Japanese internment during WW2
How many people live in Ghetto?

Why did Germany and other European countries hate Jews?
As a general rule people who hate a particular race, religion or creed do so because of fear or ignorance. It is also encouraged by people with an agenda against that group, using propaganda, half truths and lies. Hatred also underlies much violence in the world. If people stopped exerting so much energy toward hating people who are different, they might just have the energy to rebuild this world to be a happier place.
As specifically concerns the Europeans, for the longest period of time, Jews were the only "other" in European society and thus received the brunt of the us vs. them dialogue. Some important forms of Anti-Semitism in Europe are:
