Why did people change the spelling of their last name during the Holocaust?
Most people did not change their names. However, some refugees from Germany in Britain and the U.S. adopted English names ... In those days there less tolerance of cultural diversity and there was a lot of pressure on newly arrived immigrants to become 100% American or British. It was widely considered 'bad manners' to have an unpronounceable name. Some names could, in fact, cause really difficultu, such as Hoch, Hecht, Jaeger and so on.
Please note that the practice of anglicizing names was well under way much earlier.
How many refugee camps were there in Britain in World War 2?
Britain did not accept refugees into camps. They had to have a guarantee from an individual or organization in order to be admitted to the country.
After the outbreak of war in 1939, enemy aliens whose status was deemed suspect or was unclear were sent to internment camps.
In June 1940, at the end of the evacuation from Dunkirk, a number of civilians were brought to Britain in addition to the soldiers brought back. There was an immediate clamour in sections of the popular press to 'intern the lot'. The government gave in to this pressure and interned all German, Austrian and Italian male persons of military age, including those who had previously been classified as refugees from Nazi oppression. They were all rounded up and sent to hastily improvised camps, such as the one at Huyton and various camps on the Isle of Man ... Once there, tribunals was established to judge the bona fides of the prisoners. Many were released within a few months.
Absolutley not. I am 26, I know that's not the 30's but it is'nt far from it. I used to have flabby triceps too, I mean they would keep waving long after I stopped, I bought a 5lb. weight and a 10lb. weight at Wal-Mart for $5 and $10. I started using them and in 2 months I had hot and toned arms. I can't explain how to do the work out, I needed visuals so I subscribed to Shape and Self magazines. They have alot of great at home workouts for your whole body. In 1 year I went from a size 8 to a size 0 working out with weights 3 days a week and cardio 4 days. Good Luck.

Why do some historians have different ideas about what happened to the Jews?
It is about valuing one source, or type of source over another.
They more have different ideas over why things happened, there is almost complete agreement over what happened.
If the question refers specifically to the Holocaust, there is a need to separate out those historians who disagree over the interpretation of the actual evidence and those who ignore large parts of evidence because of their political agendas. Failure to recognize the magnitude or scope of the Holocaust is commonly called Holocaust Denial. Typically any number less than 4.5 million Jews as the death toll in the Holocaust (usually less than 1 million) is indicative of Holocaust Denial. The most common reason for Holocaust Denial is in order to delegitimize the State of Israel. In their view, the only reason why Israel is a legitimate country is because of the Holocaust and therefore if the Holocaust is shown to be false, Israel's raison d'etre melts away. (The argument is flawed since Zionism existed before the Holocaust and also helped numerous Jews in the Arab World who were not part of the Holocaust.) The other group that routinely engages in Holocaust Denial are Anti-Semites who see the Holocaust as a means for Jews to gain sympathy.
