Holocaust

Because he was trying to wipe out a whole race and almost got away with it.

Fundamentally, Hitler's Germany was a threat due to its expansionist foreign policy - like many other dictators (and conquers), Hitler had delusions of self-importance, believing in the superiority of the "pure" German race. These delusions let him to pursue an aggressive campaign of conquest and bullying of other European countries.

In short, Hitler was a bully. Bullies are dangerous because they generally ignore other people's concerns, and take what they desire, with no thought to other people's needs or problems.

God made a rule that when Jews forget that they're different, the nations remind them.

If you hold him responsible for every death in the European Theater of World War II, that makes him responsible for well over half of those who died in the war (at least 20-30 million deaths).

incorrect answer: Answer Much like the Jews. First they were excluded from many daily routines and eventually rounded up, put into camps and executed. Answer They too were locked up and killed.

correct answer: Homosexuals were not targeted by the Nazis specifically. In fact, several of the Nazi Party leadership were secretly (to outsiders) homosexuals. Sometimes accusations of homosexuality were made against political rivals (inside & outside) the Nazi Party for the purpose of removing them from power. For the most part, if homosexuals ended up in Concentration Camps it was usually due to some other reason: Jewish ancestry, Polish, Russian, Slavic, gypsy, political opponent, etc. It has become a false myth that homosexuals were systematically rounded up in the same way that Jews were. Gypsies were rounded up and put in camps because of their criminal family ties.

The Nazis and a number of other groups hated the Jews because the Jews considered themselves so completely separate from society. The religion and even the race was considered to be inferior to other races.

very bad and cruel. Not many food given or eaten. Chidren Died.

they were all bad, but some were worse than others; Warsaw, the largest was twice as densly populated as Lodz, and Lodz had more jobs. But then Warsaw had a better leader than Lodz.

The point is that conditions varied between ghettos. The sumggling routes were another way in which conditions varied, eg. Warsaw had a graveyard with a lower wall, some had aryan trams travelling through. The number of houses with running water varied, Krakau had a pharmacy (run by a Polish Christian), conditions were bad in all of the ghettos, but there were differences.

They ate soup and bread usually, but in the mornings they has bread and coffee. but yes, they were starved. The ss locked the prisoners in a barrack without anything to eat or drink and left them there for days. After a long while, they would place soup or bread just outside the door of the barrack, open the door, and amuse themselves, watching the poor innocent people trample over each other to get to the food.

Unfortunately, never. Well over a year before the Soviet Army entered Warsaw, the ghetto had been dissolved. Nearly all those inhabitants who had not died of starvation and/or disease had been sent to extermination camps (mainly Treblinka) and gassed.

By the end of May 1943 the Warsaw Ghetto had ceased to exist: all the buildings had been destroyed and the last remaining fighters from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had been killed ... The Nazis then established an ordinary concentration camp on the site.

They didn't care about the Jews and wanted them all dead. Many were already dying in the concentration camps. German doctors and scientists decided to find out how the human body worked by dissecting Jews and performing other experiments on them.

The Holocaust is a term for the Nazi's attempt to eliminate Europe's Jews. There were other groups who suffered under the Nazis; for example the Gypsies arguably were subjected to greater decimation, but these actions, though in the same time and place were separate from the Holocaust, carried out under different orders.

Blacks and LGBTQ people were also victims.

Hitler believed that the only people fit to live were the aryan race. Basically, German posterboy image with blonde hair blue eyes and such. He hated the Jews and believed they were the cause of all German suffering. He hated blacks, homosexuals and the Russians. Basically, if you weren't white, you weren't right.

Answer this question…Anti-Semitism had led to Jews being blamed for disasters in Europe for hundreds of years.

6,928,382 Russian people died in world war one.

The Jews were sent to concentration camps where most of them were killed by the Nazis. the most important name you should know and remember Adolf Hitler a Germany leader after Germany lost the war. The people turned to him for help but they made the wrong choice. He is against all Jews and non- Nazis because he believes they are to blame. so he decides to create a thing called Nazism-- kicks out Jews and non- Nazis out of Germany government. another name you should probably remember is Anne Frank-- 13 yr old girl that was a victim of the holocaust and is a primary source today because she wrote all the events that happened during the holocaust in her diary till she died in a concentration camp. her father was the only survivor, he found her diary, read it, published it and today now known as 2nd best published book next to the bible.

One usually could not simply leave Germany. One needed somewhere and something to go to. It was the 1930s and just about all countries had very strict immigration rules, which were enforced. Those wanting to emigrate also needed a job to go to - or had to be supported abroad by family or by charities. Moreover, from 1934 onwards it was very difficult to take money out of Nazi Germany without government approval, which was not given to people fleeing the country. (On the contrary, they had to pay for permission to leave).

Britain and Australia, for example, required a financial guarantee before admitting refugees as there were fears that they might become a burden to the public ... (Britain relaxed some of these requirements in some cases late from late 1938 onwards).

The whole situation was very difficult indeed.

The reaction was one of shock, dismay, horror and disbelief.

In general, people did not know of the existence of concentration camps until the end of world war II. But research suggests that Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin, as well as many other prominent politicians knew about them as early as 1941.

Of course, they too would have been shocked, especially at the fact that they could do little about it as they were located deep inside German occupied territory.

Even the German people are said not to have known. Nazi propaganda carefully refrained from using all too clear a terminology. It talked about 'relocation to the east', which is far more acceptable to the public opinion than 'we're sending them to death camps'. So even the German people were appalled when the news broke.

However, anyone with a little insight could have surmised what was really going on. And really it was known all along that anyone who was sent there would not be coming back.

So the shock was in finding out the actual gruesome details and the mass scale of the killings, not in finding out the existence of the camps. In addition, documentation and research shows that many a local town's population witnessed the killings by the German task forces. People even brought their dogs as if to go to a show.

To most good, honest and decent people however, a more rude shock could not be imagined. Learning of such atrocities after the joy of being liberated might well have been the deepest emotional fall mankind has ever experienced. From the utter joy of arguably the greatest days in history, to the rude awakening of finding out the details of the death camps, the darkest page in human history.

The first routine gassings of Jews started at Chelmno on 8 December 1941. However, a significant number of Jews had been slaughtered earlier. Key dates include: * Kristallnacht (9-10 November 1938) - about 400 Jews killed and a further 30,000 Jews sent at random to concentration camps. Of these, 2,000 were dead by Christmas 1938. * November 1939 onwards - Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland were forced to live in walled ghettos, where they were allowed insufficient food and usually no medications. Starvation and disease. * July 1941 - mobile killing units followed the Germany army into the Soviet Union, rounded up and shot Jews on a large scale. * October 1941 - Deportation of Jews from Berlin and other German cities starts. They are sent to Riga (Latvia) and Belarus and shot. * 8 December 1941 - see above. * 20 January 1942 - Wannsee Conference co-ordinates the fucntions of the various German agencies involved in the Holocaust, for example, local police, the railways and so on. There is no single date. Some historians used to give the date of the Wannsee Conference, but the Holocaust had already started ...

There were approximately 23 concentration camps dotted across Hitler's Fortress Europa. The majority were located in Poland and Germany, but there were also a few in:

-Russia

-France

-Austria

-Yugoslavia

-Estonia

Jews were not the only people who suffered. But, along with the Gypsies they were the only people who were persecuted for their heritage, rather than choices that they made.

People did notice the segregation and marginalising of the Jews. But much of the harsher treatment of the Jews was kept hidden from the general public. Those who lived near the railway lines or near the camps certainly did notice the treatment, but again, did not know the level or the extremes of the treatment.

Also people wanted to remain oblivious; there were enough bad things happening in the war, everyone was suffering, people themselves could be at risk if the asked too many questions, it was safer to ignore what was going on and rationalise it away.

The Schutzstaffel or SS was the primary operating force of behind the operation of the concentration camp system. Begun as a personal bodyguard for Adolf Hitler, it expanded under Heinrich Himmler and included elite armed military forces who in their early days should not be confused with the concentration camp system. The SS Totenkopfverbande or SS-TV ran the camps, and mobile killing teams called Einsatzgruppen were the field executioners who followed the Army into occupied countries.

There were several American companies who helped Hitler, including General Motors, The Curtiss-Wright Aviation Company, Standard Oil, Henry Ford, Chase National Bank later Chase Manhattan Bank, and International Telephone and Telegraph ITT
