Theresienstadt (also known by its Czech name, Terezin) was probably the last camp to be liberated (10 May 1945). In some parts of Bohemia fighting continued for a day or two after the German surrender.

Hitler wanted to rule Europe, but there had been some degree of financial sanctions against Germany following WW1, plus the fact that the WORLD had been facing a financial depression since the early 30's. Hitler wanted to fund his war, so he selected outsiders, anyone who might not be considered to be mainstream German such as the Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, black (not many in Pre-war Germany) and others. He then captured all of their wealth, including money, property, even the gold fillings in their teeth. Eugenics was popular back then. Some respected scientists had suggested that there were some who were naturally inferior. Hitler just ran with that concept, using it to fund his war. He and his henchmen were the very definition of evil.

the Nazis used propaganda to persuade people to support them/join their army against all Jews, gypsies, homo-sexuals, and the mentally and physically challenged people.

Thank you for the straight forward question and it's simplicity, which now allows me to answer in simplicity. He was nuts!
Hitler believed in the theory of evolution. he believed that by killing people that weren't as healthy would make humans some kind of superspecies.

Between 1939 and 1941, 80,000 to 100,000 mentally ill adults in institutions were killed; 5,000 children in institutions; and 1,000 Jews in institutions. Outside the mental health institutions, the figures are estimated as 20,000 (according to Dr. Georg Renno, the deputy director of Schloss Hartheim, one of the euthanasia centers) or 400,000 (according to Frank Zeireis, the commandant of Mauthausen concentration camp). Another 300,000 were forcibly sterilized. Overall it has been estimated that over 200,000 individuals with mental disorders of all kinds were put to death

Hitler did not kill them himself but the solders killed over millions of people

One famous person who died in the Holocaust is Harry Baur. He was a French actor who was taught to be Jewish. He was tortured but was cleared of the accusation and was released eventually. He never recovered and died a few months after. Another famous person who died in the Holocaust was Croatian Jewish child actress, Lea Deutsch. Lastly, Mingles Vig, a Hungarian jazz and cabaret singer, actor, comedian and theater secretary was murdered by the members of the Arrow Cross.

Many Freemasons were victims of the holocaust, generally to conspiracy theorists who run down the whole 'illuminati' line with anti-semitic undertones tend to believe Freemasons are the same as Jews.

he was part jew and hated his backround He specifically targeted Jews, but didn't EXCLUSIVELY target Jews. He also despised Gypsies, homosexuals, slavs and Communists.

Because Germany was in an economic depression and existing prejudices and blame were already held by some people aimed toward Jews, some of whom held wealth through banking, owning property, etc. for the depression. So Hitler was able to use those as a convenient political vehicle to get support from Germans for his political power. The Jewish people of Germany were a political scapegoat for Germany's problems.

Well, Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged in a concentration camp because he basically lived the ethics that he taught. Bonhoeffer was an advocate for Jews in national socialist Germany during World War two, and that landed him in prison.

If the Jews were not caught they went into hiding like Anne Frank did. I know that Anne Frank stayed in a secret annex with another family while in hiding. If the Jews were caught they had to go to concentration camps. I have heard that once the Nazis told the Jews that they could take a bath in a giant shower room that they had built for the Nazis. Of course the Jews were excited because they had not been allowed baths before. Only some of the Jews went and when the showers were turned on instead of water flowing out a noxious gas came out and killed the Jews inside the shower. The family members of the Jews who died in the showers had to dig a grave for the family members that died.

According to the Holocaust History Project website, Hitler did not even have a step-father, Alois was his father. Most historical sources indicate that there was no Jewish background in Hitler's family, illegitimate or otherwise, but rather one of mental illness that he wished to hide.

The Warsaw ghetto was the largest ghetto in Poland. More than 400,000 Jewish people were shoved into 1.3 square miles. It was centered in the Polish capital, located in Nazi occupied Europe.

It impacted society and people differently. At the link below is a haunting reflection, expressed through art, of a family's loss in the Holocaust. It's a quilt.

The Holocaust began because Hitler wanted to purify Germany from anyone who wasn't German, or "Aryan" - the new race he wanted to make. Read "Mein Kampf" to learn more about his anti-semtism (hatred of the Jews).

Escaped the cattle car and risked her life while doing it. She didn't have to go to cocentration camps because she survived from the cattle car unlike her brothers and sister and parents. She was the only one to survive in her family.

Some European countries, provided a measure of safety for Jews, England, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria and Switzerland, but allowed relatively few refugees. A few countries allied with Germany, managed to preserve more than 50% of their Jewish Population, Italy, Romania, Vichy France, Finland and to a much lesser extent Hungary. Countries occupied or governed by Germany, lost 70% or more of their Jews, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Greece, Albania, Western Russia and Estonia. And Poland, the home to the largest population of Jews in Europe lost more than 90% of its Jews. As at most 210,000 Jews survived the Concentration Camps and only 700,000 were able to find a safe haven in countries outside German control (220,000 in Eastern Russia alone), we can assume that at least 35% of the remaining Jewish World War 2 Survivors were in hiding, giving us a number of at least 680,000 Jews in hiding. There was probably another 14,000 Jews fighting with partisan groups or in various other armies.

Hitler and his cronies were confronted with the question as to how best to resolve what they considered their greatest threat ... the Jews, those they believed would most confront or impede the aims of a unified 'all-German' state under the Nazi regime they had brought to power in Germany..and planned for the rest of the world as well. Their solution was to eradicate the Jew from the globe. __ In some European countries hardline nationalists saw the mere existence of the Jews as a "problem".
The "Final Solution" used by the Nazis was to kill all Jewish persons.

well he was miserable. He lost his father and mother by sixteen, I believe. I know (because I have read Mein Kampf) that once he lost his parents he had no money to go to school. Therefore I get the thought that he thought no one should be more fortunate than him other than his fellow people.(People with German blood)
