How were women and children treated in the Holocaust?
Younger women that could work in work camps were saved most of the time. Very young children were not. Older women that were not seen as physically capable for doing work were not treated good either. ==edit of the above answer== women and men were separated when they first arrived at camps. If children were old enough to work, they often were allowed to stay with their parents. If they were too young to work, they were often sent to be gassed or to the crematories. Women, if found strong or suitable enough, were often sent to work in factories. children that were old and strong enough to work were sent to children camps, which held only children. they were taken away from their parents ad sent on their own. if siblings were lucky enough, they could stay together. most young children died very soon. As the men, women and children arrived they were sorted into groups, then they had to strip naked and one of the generals would come and take a look at them. if he beleived that they werent fit enough he would send them to the gas chambers. there the unfit women and children would die. the fit ones were sent to work in factories or out in the forests collecting wood.

Clandestine resistance groups formed in many concentration camps with political prisoners and captured members of national resistance groups often providing the leadership. For example, in 1940 many Communists and captured French resistance fighters united to form a resistance organization at Ravensbrück, a camp for women prisoners situated north of Berlin. Three women of different nationalities and political affiliations led the group. To raise the spirits of prisoners and give hope for eventual escape or liberation, the resisters traded newspapers, battle maps, and war information. They also held secret political meetings to share news and information about the camp. All these activities were extremely dangerous. On May 15, 1944, prisoners in the Birkenau Gypsy family camp learned that the camp administration intended to gas the 6,000 remaining Gypsy prisoners the next day. When SS guards armed with machine guns surrounded the camp and attempted to begin the transport to the gas chambers, they met armed resistance. After stealing scraps of sheet metal, prisoners had sharpened the metal into crudely fashioned knives. With those improvised weapons, and with iron pipes, clubs, and stones, the Gypsies defended themselves. Guards shot some resisters. The final liquidation of the camp occurred in early August when guards moved 2,897 men, women, and children to the gas chambers in the dead of night.
Uprisings in campsThere were major uprisings as follows:
- Trelinka, 2 August 1943 - revolt and breakout by the Sonderkommando. About 40 of those who escaped were still alive at the end of the war.
- Sobibor, 14 October 1943 - revolt and mass breakout by the Sonderkommando. Of the 500 or so prisoners who managed to escape an estimated 50 plus were still alive at the end of the war.
- Auschwitz II (Birkenau), 7 October 1944 - revolt by the Sonderkommandos at Crematoria II and IV, the latter being blown up using explosives smuggled into the camp. Attempted mass breakout was not successful.
- Buchenwald, 9 April 1945 - The political prisoners stormed the watchtowers and succeeded in liberating the camp, obviously in the knowledge that US forces were close at hand.
What are facts about Edith Frank?
Edith Frank was from a well-to-do German family. As a young woman, she had many friends and an active social life. She had two brothers, Walter and Julius, who escaped to America in the 1930's. Her marriage to Otto Frank, more than ten years her senior, was arranged. Otto Frank removed several pages from Anne's diary before publication, some of which dealt with what she saw as the loveless marriage of her parents. Otto Frank was very good to his wife; he treated her with respect even if he wasn't really in love with her.
How have the Germans compensated for their wrongdoings to the Jews?
Germans have a number of standing laws and edicts enacted by the West German Government in the late 1940s and 1950s concerning Jewish property and the State of Israel. Germany gives Israel a set reparations payment every year and exports to them additional German products such as automobiles and electronics at subsidized prices. In addition, Germany has set up a collections fund to provide individual reparation payments to Jewish families that request reparations subject to general proof of loss.
The German people as a nation have, for the first time in any country, taken on a national sense of guilt and remorse for the actions of the Holocaust and have politically done everything in their power to preserve the memory of those acts by saving former synagogues, collecting former Jewish property for exhibitions and compensations (upon request), and building innumerable museums and memorials to the Holocaust. No other nation in history that committed genocide has ever gone as far out of their way to atone for that sin as Germany.
