Who were the green police of Holocaust?
The green police were regular and secret Nazi police officers that wore green uniforms, which is why they were often referred to as the green police. They often walked the streets at night and randomly searched factories and places to try and find Jews. They also asked citizens if they knew where any were hiding and threatened to kill them if they didn't turn the Jews in. Green police also had green triangles on their uniforms and they would stand watch over the barracks in the concentration camps. If any Jews were caught leaving the barracks in the night they would punish them. Sometimes they would make them run or roll around until they fainted, other times they'd make them stand at attention until they fainted and then execute them.

Do you mean tinea versicolor? My boyfriend has it- and dandruff shampoo works alright, but you have to lather it on and keep it on the blotches for about 30 minutes before you wash it off. You also have to do this reguarly, almost daily and they should fade in a few weeks. There's also a yeast infection cream that works well- but I forget which one it is, you can't use any one, though, it has to have a certain ingredient in it. We just started trying colloidal silver and it works really really well. Buy some and spray it on. I bought some b/c I have been sick with cold/flu sympotoms for over two weeks. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic among other things. It immediately attacks the bad bacteria, fungus and some viruses and immediately kills them. If you ever have a cold, take some of it and literally your symptoms are relieved in seconds. Try it on your skin rash if you feel comfortable doing so after some research. Some people who take it in high doses or for extremely long periods of time turn blue.

How did Israel come into existence?
Modern Israel came about around 150 years ago when a handful of Secular Jews with a lot of political connections in Europe got together as Zionists deciding that the Jews spread throughout the world needed one central place they could call home. After much deliberation with the U.N. Offered different options Uganda being the one that received the most consideration but were all ultimately rejected. In 1917 after WWI when Turkey lost control over then Palestine it was handed over to mostly British control and ultimately destined to get on it's feet and become the Jewish homeland. The few Arabs that remained didn't accept the plan and long before it could be implemented began the invention of terrorism that they unleashed upon the small Jewish population that had been living there for hundreds of years. England then began limiting the permitted amount of Jewish immigration and after the tragic events of WWII had almost eradicated the Jews of Europe a small underground army of Jews began fighting the British and Arab armies till they got independence in 1948 Offering all Jews and Arabs who wished to remain citizenship with full equal rights for all. Many Arabs decided to leave heeding promises from neighboring Arab countries that the Jewish state would be wiped out soon enough. In 1967 acting on misinformation from Russian intelligence Egypt decided to launch a war and got all the neighboring Arab countries to join in and attack Israel. In a miraculous preemptive strike Israel wiped out virtually the entire Air Forces of all the invading armies. After 6 days of intense ground combat taking place throughout then divided Jerusalem being occupied by Jordan along with the west bank. At the same time they were battling Egypt in the south and at the end of the war had conquered Jerusalem the west bank and Gaza.
In 2006 Israel returned Gaza however not to Egypt who it was captured from rather to the newly created Palestinian Authority who would soon be taking over by rival terrorist organization HAMAS.

What was one reason the separatists found it hard to live in holland?
They chose Holland because the Dutch allowed religious freedom. But it was not long before the good Separatists found that the society of the Dutch was having a major influence on their children. And so having strong religious beliefs on raising children, to be responsible and God fearing adults they knew they needed to move to a place where they not only could be free from all persecution, but where they could also start a society free of the worldly influences that could ruin their children's lives. A very excellent, modern example of this same idea is the Home-school movement. Parents have long known that the American school system has been failing in recent decades and so started their own Christian schools or other private institutions where they could freely teach things like Creation and Biblical standards and raise good citizens without interference. This movement really began to boom in the 80's. But then some parents realized that a school is still a school, and Christian or not, students still undergo peer pressure and still deal with standards of ethics and education that might not be up to par with the parents standards at home. An an even better solution was needed; Homeschooling. There, at home, like the early Separatist settlers, the parents had complete control of the environment and could raise their kids as they saw fit free from troublesome influences.

Some of the wars and battles in the Bible were considered genocides, for example the battle in the Old Testament, where Saul and his army destroyed all the Amalekites but failed to kill the livestock, as Samuel's had instructed.
Some features of the ideology motivating the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BC have surprisingly modern echoes in 20th-century genocides. Perhaps 150,000 were massacred.
How did some people manage to survive the Holocaust?
By hiding with gentiles. Answer 2 True, many people, including Germans, hid Jewish Families, sometimes for the length of the War, at great risk to themselves, AND don't forget, Risk to their own Families as well. However, if the question is about survival INSIDE a Camp, then this was in many ways, up the the persons way of thinking! If the Prisoner thought of his Family, The Past, Tomorrow, then in a short time their Spirit was broken, and they 'just' died. The Secret was not to think at all, Not to think about anything except, finding food, keeping clean as best you could, in short, keeping your humanity, and keeping out of the 'eye' of any passing Guard. If you escaped selection for gassing, escaped being picked out by a Guard, escaped talking about your past to anybody, and did not starve to death, froze to death, beaten to death, but kept your head down, and thought only about this second, and not the next one, you MIGHT, just might, live until tomorrow, and then it all started all over again. Don't forget, the main objective of the Nazi's, was to break peoples Spirit, and turn them into closer to an animal state, before killing them. To turn them into Non-persons! So you will see, that it was very hard to survive for even a short time, but some, not many it's true, managed to survive for weeks, months, and the odd one, for a year, or even more. The Human Spirit is very strong in some people.

Could the Holocaust have been prevented?
After the end of WW1, the league of nations could have imposed more reasonable sanctions against Germany and actually have followed through with their requirements that Germany not be allowed to rebuild a military. Those two things would have most certainly avoided the Holocaust.
First, more reasonable sanctions would have allowed Germany to actually provide for the financial needs of it's citizens. Unhappy citizens ended up following a mad-man who promised to make things better. His proposed methods were extreme, but Germans believed that extreme methods were required in such an unacceptable economic environment.
Second, if the league of nations would have actually followed through and prevented the buildup of the German military, Hitler would not have been able to gain any credibility regarding the promises about taking over Europe.
CommentThe above is off topic. It is about how World War 2 in Europe might have been prevented and doesn't specifically relate to the Holocaust.Once the war was under way, stopping the Holocaust was extremely difficult.
SPEAK UP! "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -Margaret Mead
Denmark proves that an active resistence by a nation was a viable option.
___
The Danes did not engage in 'active resisteance'; moved most of the Danish Jews to safety ... They did not 'stop the Holocaust'. In any case this kind of thing was easier in Denmark than in most other countries. The Danish government was semi-collaborationist until 1943 and the Danish population had an easier time under Nazi rule than, for example. the Poles.
If the Germans weren't sheep and realized they were being fooled it wouldn't have happened.
___The Holocaust took place very largely in a region that was far removed from the Allies for most of World War 2 - Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus ...
The above comment ('If the Germans weren't sheep ... ') is monumentally insulting about ordinary Germans. If they were fooled, then they didn't didn't know what was going on. It also displays a complete failure to understand what life is like in a police state.
Ordinary Germans were not informed about the genocide, and the Nazi regime went to considerable lengths to keep the Holocaust secret ... Obviously, word got out and many in Germany had some idea of what was happening, but very little detail.
____
There is no clear cut answer to this question.
Yes:
- the German citizens appeared to do nothing, but that is because they feared for their own life if they refused.
- the Allies could have got a move on and pushed into Germany quicker
- the US could have pulled the finger out BEFORE Pearl Harbour and done something more substantial in the European Campaign.
However, this is all with the luxury of hindsight! At the time, little was really known about the sheer scale of deaths of the Jews, Romanies (Gypsies) and other victims of the Nazi Regime. his is just a brief summary of points really. The main point that you need to know in answering this question is, WE have the luxury of hindsight! We can see NOW the things that the leaders/citizens should have done to prevent these atrocities, but remember, there was a different mindset and set of ideas all of 60 years ago. Read into the ideas of politicians at the time, not just on what has been written since.
___
In concrete terms, it is very hard to envisage what 'prevention' would have looked like. A roar of disapproval from Congress would not have prevented the Holocaust.
