How do people resist oppression?

Oppression is not just taking rights away forcefully. Oppression is the repeated use of force and trickery to limit access to resources and oppressors usually target a group in society to limit. These groups can be religious, racial or class groups.

Fighting Oppression is very difficult. Much of the time, people who are being oppressed don't even know it. So the first step in the resistance of oppression is to realize that there are structures that contribute to a lack of some resource- this resource might be living wage employment, quality education or safe housing.

The next step is to make sure that others are aware of the and have experienced the particular form of oppression that you are trying to resist. Individual forms of resistance cannot change many things. A group of people who are committed to fighting oppression can create some of the friction necessary to push for change.

As a group you should use methods that offend the oppressor to push for change. Powerful people and governments tolerate picketing, and rallies so these forms of protest are unlikely to lead to change. Just remember how many people protested what Bush was doing with the Iraq war.

You must use unacceptable means to protest- for example the threat of violence or the actual use of violence is a socially unacceptable means of protest that will get the oppressors attention- and others attention also. Using publicity is a great tool (and a much better, more realistic and probably more effective example). Publicity can be used to embarrass the oppressor, large scale sit-ins, strikes. These socially unacceptable acts of protest must be rational, consistent and repeated. A consistently high level of pressure must be lay-ed on the oppressor- this could take weeks or months or even years of work depending on what type of oppression is being fought.

Here comes the really hard part... Historically, resisters to oppression tend to be severely punished because those in power will not concede willingly. The Oppressor will use all of their resources to convince the oppressed that things will never change. So if you are doing it right, there will be arrests and threats for the resisters. Evictions, firing from employment, etc.

However, if the oppressor is pressured hard enough for long enough the oppressor will begin to negotiate- not because they support your cause but because they are tired. This negotiation is the beginning of change.

Did any of the Nazis regret what they did during the Holocaust?

After the war there were trials in Nuremberg where various people were tried from the most senior to some relatively junior servicemen. By accounts some Nazis claimed that they were following orders and showed regret but said they had no choice. Others showed no remorse and simply claimed that if they had won the war there would be a good many people in the allied forces sitting where they were. War is an inherently brutal business and the misdemeanours of the victors are invariably overlooked or toned down, whilst those of the defeated are recorded in history. I am sure most people who saw active service in any war have some serious reservations and perhaps guilt.

The German people largely renounced the Nazis after the war, and it could be argued carried a collective guilt on the part of the worst things that were conducted under the Third Reich.

What questions do you have about the Holocaust?

-7 million people died

-Maria Mandel - one of the most evil women to ever live. She was in charge of the women's camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. Prisoners called her "The Beast" for her cruel ways. She would wait at the gates and any prisoner that looked at her would be killed. She enjoyed having "Pet Jews" and when she got tired of them, she'd send them off to their deaths. Disgustingly enough, Maria Mandel also enjoyed selecting children to be killed.

-Some ask why the Jews didn't flee. Some tried. The SS St. Louis sailed from Germany to Cuba with a thousand refugees on 13 May 1939 but were denied entry and had to return to Europe.

-Some who found refuge in France and Belgium ended up in the Concentration Camps.

-The worst POW camp in Germany held American Jewish Troops who mined coal for the duration. It was Stalag IX-B at Berga.

-The term Holocaust was first used in 1944.

-The great composer, Richard Wagner is credited with the terms "Jewish Problem" and "Final Solution".

-All females or any gender with long hair, had it cut-off and used for boots or shoes/socks for some people. Plus, they put people in a line and all the un-able people or people who couldn't do much work were put in one line (mostly children and elders), and the people who could work were put in another. The line with the non-workers were sent to the gas room to get gassed. The others were put to work. Most would rather be put to death. (they only did this in some of the camps)

-The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by the Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

-In 1933 approximately nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be occupied by Germany during World War II.

-By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed.

-Jews were the primary victims -- six million were murdered; Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation for racial, ethnic or national reasons. Millions more, including Soviet prisoners of war, political dissidents, homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.

-The Nazis believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that there was a struggle for survival between them and "inferior races."

-Jews, Roma (Gypsies) and the handicapped were seen as a serious biological threat to the purity of the "German (Aryan) Race" and therefore had to be "exterminated."

-The Nazis blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, for its economic problems and for the spread of Communist parties throughout Europe.

-Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians and others) were also consi dered "inferior" and destined to serve as slave labor for their German masters. Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals and Free Masons were persecuted, imprisoned and often killed on political and behavioral (rather than racial) grounds .

-Sometimes the distinction was not very clear. Millions of Soviet Prisoners of War perished from starvation, disease and forced labor or were killed for racial political reasons.

-The United States and Great Britain as well as other nations outside Nazi Europe received numerous press reports in the 1930s about the persecution of Jews.

-By 1942 the governments of the United States and Great Britain had confirmed reports about "the Final Solution" -- Germany's intent to kill all the Jews of the Europe.

-influenced by antisemitism and fear of a massive influx of refugees, neither country modified their refugee policies.

-Their stated intention to defeat Germany militarily took precedence over rescue efforts, and therefore no specific attempts to stop or slow the genocide were made until mounting pressure eventually forced the United States to undertake limited rescue efforts in 1944.

-In Europe, rampant antisemitism incited citizens of many German occupied countries to collaborate with the Nazis in their genocidal policies.

-There were, however, individuals and groups in every occupied nation who, at great personal risk, helped hide th ose targeted by the Nazis.

-One nation, Denmark, saved most of its Jews in a nighttime rescue operation in 1943 in which Jews were ferried in fishing boats to safety in neutral Sweden.

He did'nt make any acknowledgement about the indigenous race of Australia. Evidence does suggest that his aryan beliefs might have favoured Englands invasion, but Hitlers concern was about an outside influence destroying his country, it's people & their cultural customs, which would contradict his opinion about the Aboriginal people. It's also safe to assume that the race or the skin color of an army, is in no way of a confictict when it came to Hitler choosing allies with India, Italy & Japan.
