What happened to Josef Mengele after the war?

  • In 1949, with the aid of his family and former SS contacts, Mengele escapes to Buenos Aires in Argentina, obtaining a West German passport and identity card under his own name in 1958. Agents of Mossad, already occupied with the capture of Eichmann, did not capture Mengele. By the time the Eichmann operation had been successfully completed, Mengele had disappeared. Mengele was brought to America to prevent revealing of knowledge of his collaboration with American Business men during the war.
  • He still lives there under the alias Martin Slinaz. He has been identified as the "Zodiac Killer" from photo-fit matches. He has remained very young looking from numerous face lifts and his practice of canabilism.

What role did the Holocaust play in World War 2?

The role of the holocaust in WW2 was major. It is what made people decide what side to fight for. Many countries didn't believe that killing millions of innocent people was right so the joined the allied forces in a fight to stop it. ___ Until 1944 the British and US governments didn't want to know about the Holocaust. It was not widely reported or widely discussed in the media, so I don't see how "It is what made people decide what side to fight for". Countries fought for perceived national interest, not to stop the Holocaust.s

There were always people trying to help the Jews escape Hitler's power trip at the risk of being arrested with them.

Sadly, he was not the only person who believed this.

What initiated to the violence of the kristallnacht?

The immediate pretext to Kristallnacht was the killing of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by a young French Jew, who did this as a gesture of retaliation for the expulsion of Polish Jews in Germany, family members of his among them.

What was hitler's aryan race?

Hitler's ideal race was the 'Aryan' race- members of this ideal race had blond hair and blue eyes. Interestingly enough, Hitler's own blood lines were 'unclean'- this was the reason he never wanted to father biological children of his own as he knew he would be unable to produce a child that fit these ideals.Hitler was raised by a Jewish family and specifically told his people to leave them alone that they were under his protection.

I would add his mother's maiden name was Shikelgruber, (Jewish) but that he was not raised by a Jewish family. When his mother suffered from cancer a Jewish doctor treated her with great respect and despite the family's poor circumstances.

Further to the Aryan race, ironically perhaps, their origins are in India.

The Aryan Race originates from Persia/Iran and hitlers nazi logo was an old time Persian symbol.

The idea of hitlers blonde hair blue eyes super race is just a myth, even tho your teachers probably told you that in school everyone knows Hitler wrote a book so id advise you to read it and tell me if theres any mention of white super race in there.

Also hitlers hatred for Jews was fuelled by political and financial tensions, not racial tensions.

Hitler legalised white/black marraiges in Germany but reversed it when there was a huge public outcry about it.

20years after Hitler died the people that told you hitlers super race of blonde hair and blue eyes still didnt give black people equal rights. You only have to look at the facts to know who was racist and who was not.

Is it true that Adolf Hitler was part Jew himself?

There is no historic basis for the conspiracy theory that Hitler was Jewish or had Jewish ancestry.

The claim is based on the fact that Adolf Hitler's father Alois was illegitimate, having no named father when he was born to Hitler's grandmother, Anna Maria Schicklgruber. The suggestion was that Hitler's father was the son of a wealthy Jewish Austrian named Frankenberger, who employed Anna while she was living in Graz, Austria. This suggestion was first made by the former Nazi Governor-General of Poland, Hans Frank, in his autobiography. Frank claimed that whilst working as a maid, Hitler's grandmother was impregnated by Frankenberger (or his son) and subsequently gave birth to Hitler's father. This claim was picked up in the 1960s and '70s by several authors, such as Dietrich Bronder and Hennecke Karde.

Historical research has since dismissed this as fabrication, as census and historical documentation show that no Jews called Frankenberger lived in Graz at any time during the 19th Century, and also that his mother, Anna Maria Schicklgruber, was not living in Graz at the time.

According to German-Austrian historian and author Brigitte Hamann*, the reason for Frank's claim was that, as a rabid anti-Semite, Frank wanted to pass responsibility for a supposedly Jewish Hitler to the Jews he so hated, and to unsettle them with rumors and misinformation. (Frank was tried and executed at Nuremberg in 1946.)

What was hitlers perfect race?

he killed everyone that he didnt think was perfect. For him the "Master Race" were blonde and blue/green eyes. He didnt like bisexuals, gays or people that went against his beliefs. He also wanted men and women of the "Master Race" from all over the world to have experaments done on them and this would led to the world into the time of the "Master Race" with Hitler leading them this would have come true if the Brits did not came and win the war.

If you like to make a note wright it here:

  1. Hitler came to south America and spent about a year in a half so he might have started a couple deathcamps but if that happened America would have stepped in and stopped him.

2.I totaly agree with you but they were actually called "Concentration" camps.

3. You have to think though. U.s. wanted to stop him but were afriad of getting hurt. and btw stupid, we did step in. duhh. And most were called Concentration camps but some were also called Deathcamps, For instence, Sobibor was a deathcamp where the prisoners killed many gaurds and over 300 out of 600 escaped.
