Holocaust

If you are reffering to the numbers on their arms, The "tattoos" were used as serial numbers for not only the Jews but others who had been put in Hitler's concentration camps. It was a way to treat them like property and to try to "keep them in line"

No it was a form of identification, because their clothes contained a serial number for identification. However, when they were murdered and their clothes were removed then they had no record of them. The tattoos were only given to those who were sent to work and not those sent straight to the gas chambers.

they only persecuted those minority groups that they considered to be anti-social, deviant or criminal.

After being invaded by Germany and the soviet union Poland suffered about 6 million dead during the war out of a total population off about 36 million. Of the 6 million dead more than 3 million were Jews. Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other groups were targets for annihilation under the German occupation government, but the Jews were the largest group. Before the war there where about 3.5 million Jews in Poland, the largest population anywhere in the world. (The Germans built the extermination camps mostly in Poland because that is where the Jews where! ) 90% of the polish Jews would perish in the holocaust, a much higher percentage than in other countries. Of the few hundred thousand that survived either escaped the country or were hidden by poles - this was especially true of children who were sent to live in polish families as poles. Despite the fact that only in German occupied Poland hiding Jews was a crime punishable by death, tens of the thousands of Jews survived the war because they were hidden by sympathetic poles. Only a few thousand Jews survived the German concentration camps through to the end of the war.

Before the war Jews had an important place in the polish society and economy, many of them being intellectual and social leaders. Jews and Poles had lived side by side in Poland for many centuries, and although it was not always a harmonious relationship Jews often had more freedom and equality than anywhere else. The result was that the Jewish culture was an important part of the social fabric of Poland and of outsized economic importance. The entire loss of this segment of the population was a direct impedement to the reconstruction of the country after the war, and played into the soviet hands as they wished a subservient Poland that they could dominate.

mainly, he killed them in concentration camps, and ghettos, where in the ghettos, they got very sick, hungry,and starved to death. in the concentration camps, the soldiers there and guards there, worked, tortured and beat them to death.

Adolf Hitler, in cooperation with Heinrich Himmler ( Head of SS and Gestapo), Joseph Goebbels ( Propaganda Minister) and many, many others. anti-semitism was at the core of Nazi domestic policy --- Those who masterminded the Holocaust for the Nazi leadership included Heydrich, Odilo Globocnik and Adolf Eichmann.

== == American troops liberated several of the Nazi concentration camps, including Dachau Buchenwald and Mauthausen, but did not fight any direct battles to save European Jews. It was only after most of the SS troops retreated that they liberated the camps. ___ All the large extermination camps were in Poland (plus one in Belarus). These camps were either destroyed by the Nazis in an attempt to cover up their actions (Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor, Treblinka, Maly Trostinets) or were liberated by the Soviet Army (Majdanek in July 1944 and Auschwitz-Birkenau in January 1945).

It was scary because you would never know what they could do

It sounds as if you are thinking of Josef Mengele.

Life expectancies depended on the health of the person when they arrived. I know that seems obvious but it is more insidious than that. The second consideration was which camp you were sent to. Dachau was a concentration camp intended for political prisoner's Rabbi's and some others were killed by the guards at arrival mostly for fun and to instill fear but the vast majority were not overtly killed. They were worked to death. There life was of no value but killing them was unnecessary when they could be used as slaves. Punishment for even simple violations could result in death or be so harsh that death would result soon after. Illness and poor conditions would eventually kill even the healthy with in a year or two. According to the Germans the gas chamber at Dachau was never used. The death camps are a different story. As I said up from if you appeared ill or were to old or young to work you were separated as soon as you got off the train and sent directly to the shower/gas chamber. Many did not survive the long brutal train ride that may have lasted for several days. Any one strong enough to work was subsequently worked and starved to death. Living longer that a few months in a "death camp" was exceptional. Patrick Kelly

In the movie Schindler's list it was called "DEUTSCHE EMAILWARENFABRIK". It was also called "Emalia" for short.The abbreviation was D.E.F.

He also had another factory where he made artillery shells that were 100% inneffective but i dont know the name for it.

Terezin (Theresienstadt) is about 60 km NW of Prague in the Czech Republic.

Many germans in the 30s-40s had a hatred of Jews because of Nazi indoctrination. Adolf Hitler led a campaign for the extermination of the Jews; the infamous Holocaust, and because Nazi Germany was a fascist dictatorship, it's citizens were expected to share the ideologies of the Party

Theresienstadt (in Czech Terezin) was a small fortified town in Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic). There were two camps at Terezin (Theresienstadt) 1. A Gestapo prison for uncooperative Czechs. 2. A ghetto/concentration camp and transit camp for Jews, who were later transported to Auschwitz. It was, to some extent, used as a camp for prominent German and Austrian Jews.

to check in with the guards to see whether one was allowed access to the camp.

Hitler was one of the major leaders at this time

He murdered them by the millions.

The Holocaust taught the world about the evil and extremes tyrannical nations and leaders can go to. It also taught the world that no people should ever be exterminated due to their race, creed, or religious preferences.

In order to answer the question ''Who did Hitler kill in his family?'' one has to include his involvement and influence on ''members of his family'' who have died as a direct result of him.

Most would know of the story of Ewa Braun in the bunker in May 1945, she became Hitler's wife just hours before both of them committed suicide as the Third Reich collapsed around them.

Prior to their own suicides Hitler had tested the effectiveness of the poison 'cyanide' on his loyal dog, an Alsatian name Blondie who was also considered a member of ''his family''.

A lesser well known incident is that of a previous relationship involving a family member and Hitler.

Prior to Hitler becoming Chancellor and then Fuhrer of Germany in the 1930's he was involved in relationship which led to yet another suicide as a direct result of his relationship with his niece Geli Raubal.

In 1928 Hitler had asked his half sister Angela Raubal to become his housekeeper, she agreed taking over the post and moved in along with her 20 year old daughter Geli.

It was soon rumoured that Hitler and Geli were having an affair which turned out to be fact, despite attempts to hide the liasons.

The relationship was volatile and Hitler was possessive of Geli who was 20 years his junior.

Following an argument after Geli discovered that Hitler had been taking another young woman, Ewa Braun out in his car, Geli shot herself in the chest and died.

The above are all considered as ''family'' of Hitler and could be interpreted as having his involvement in their deaths.

Not if you expressed any disagreement with the Nazi party line. Answer #2 Much safer than if you had dark hair and named Goldberg.

Clothing styles have changed completely more than once. Today's suit did not exist seven or eight centuries ago. In the time of the Sages 15 centuries ago, most Jews wore white flowing garments. Sandals were worn in the non-rainy months. Pants were worn under one's robes if at all. Inexpensive garments were often made of hemp.

The one thing that is unchanged is that religious Jews have always kept their bodies fully clothed; thighs and torso especially, both men and women.

Roll call was supposed to be a matter of checking that all the prisoners were present. However, it was often deliberately spun out to make it a misery for the inmates. During roll call they had to stand to attention in all weathers, while the guards were free to walk about.

There are cases on record where some, already weak, prisoners collapsed and died during long roll calls in winter.
