How did anti-semitism start in World War 2?

Racism is not just one thing. It has been defined in many different ways over the years and from nation to nation and culture to culture. There are about as many different definitions of this term as there are people with opinions about it.

Functionally speaking, racism formally began when there was a common acceptance of the idea of race itself (circa 1600s).

The power dynamics and systematic and other forms of discrimination based on how people interpreted race existed long before the terms "race" or "racism" were ever coined. Long before racism became a word, there has been oppression which (like racism) is not merely about when one person hurts another person, but involve a structural or systematic use of cruel authority or power of one group over another.

Can kids at the concentration camp go outside?

the simple answer is: yes.

basically the only childern that were allowed were those in the family camps or the gypsy camp, where they were allowed to walk around their own camps freely.

but the problems with the question go a bit further. Though small childern were not generally allowed, if we were using deffinitions of the time, one was a child until the age of 21 or 25 depending upon where you were. Children as young as 14 could look able-bodied enough to seem capable of work, as such they were allowed to live, but were treated as an adult and subject to the same treatment.

How was the oppression in China similar to the Holocaust?

The oppression in China is based on the same human nature as the holocaust, racism. However, deaths caused by the oppression itself does not add up to the amount 6 million, the number of Jews killed by the Nazis. Direct Effects of the oppression include: the Chinese losing their self honour, the Chinese losing hundreds of tonnes of gold to foreign countries, the Chinese losing some of their most treasured ancient relics (comparable to the sentiment felt by westerners when reminded of the Mona Lisa), having hundreds of Chinese addicted to opium (the Chinese migrated to Australia and America during the gold rush and brought the opium with them so the Whites concluded that the Chinese are garbage who used drugs) and leaving the central government unable to tend to the nations problems. The indirect effect of the oppression is the Chinese having a weakened industrial system therefore not being able to equip their army properly against the Japanese invasion and occupation 1931-1945 which killed 23 million Chinese

How did Hitler torture Jews?

Other than starving, killing, torture, beating... not particular mean otherwise. Of course, that's just the SOLDIERS. If you count the people that he put into concentration camps, you have to include burning, gassing and medical experimentation.

What is Aktionen in the Holocaust?

This is merely the German word for actions, in the sense of special military or defense Tasks or projects, not really Battles or wars. It could refer to specific actions such as the Crystal Night of l938, the opening round of the Holocaust. The SS went to town and hit virtually every synagogue and many ancillary structures such as Jewish Community centers, in major cities in Germany, not only Berlin. the aim to harrass, and later kill the JEWS was paramount. So Aktionen would be a specific target- for example an attack on a Jewish Community center in the central part of Berlin. The SS used camouflaged code names to mask their intentions- Sonder Behandlung- lit, Special Handling- actually meant abuse and torture of prisoners!
