Holocaust

Herman Hollerith, though Alan Turing was one of the main people involved too.

The first camp to carry out routine mass killings (as opposed to experimental gassings) was Chelmno. These gassings (of Jews) began on 8 December 1941.

The auxiliary police men killed those who opposed thee Nazi regime, in many different ways. Hope that helped. c:

He used that argument in reference to World War I, not World War II, but I'll assume that you mistyped. He used that argument because in a torn up country where everyone is angry about their situation, people like to have a scapegoat to blame for it as much as they like to have a strong leader to fix it. Hitler offered them both when he mentioned how a group he personally despised caused the German defeat.

The Nazis forced them to add these names to their current names, so that they would be easier to identify.

because he wanted to make money off of them

That varied enormously. It depended on such things as how thin, exhausted and how ill the prisoner was when liberated. Also, some individuals responded more quickly than other to treatment. It also depended on the expertise of those treating them. For example, some of the Allied doctors and nurses invovled had previous first hand experience of famine relief, but most did not. Restoring physical health (if it was possible) took weeks or months. Overcoming the psychological effects was often much more difficult. After all, the liberated prisoners had had to live through a prolonged attack on their core identity.

Adolf Hitler took everything away from the Jewish people. He really did not do it gradually. When the people arrived in the concentration camps they had all of their belongings taken away and were told what type of jobs they would be doing. People that Hitler didn't feel would be good candidates for working or his experiments went straight to the gas chambers.

Eberhard Bethge (1909-2000) was a friend and associate of the theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He did much to popularize Bonhoeffer's theological writings and wrote a widely admired biography of him. Both were members of the Confessing Church and were involved in the plot of 20 July 1944. Bonoeffer was hanged, Bethge survived.

To a some extent they never have recovered. I don't think anyone can say the European Jewish community has 'recovered'.

How can a community, a people recover from something as traumatic and horrific as the Holocaust? There's a phrase used in connection with the Armenian Holocaust that springs to mind: "the abomination of desolation" - the feeling of being unwanted and hated, and for no good reason. Worse still, there is a feeling that in some sense "the world let it happen". Obviously, I know that once it was under way, there was little or nothing that the Allies could have done to stop it. However, one should also remember the unwillingness of many countries to admit refugees or more than a handful in the years before the outbreak of World War 2. Britain admitted about 70,000 refugees, the U.S about 250,000 - a drop in the ocean but of course better than, say, Turkey, which admitted about 1,000. New Zealand didn't even admit 1,000.

The first concentration camp was started in 1933.

Thousands of people. The majority of the people were women and children unless the children were German looking. If the child looked German the Nazis would take the children to a school to try to make the kids Nazi citizens. They would also try to make the kids kill their own parents and family if they weren't killed in the gas chamber.

After World War One ended. The countries that were destroyed by the Germans demanded that they pay to have them fixed. Germany became a poor country with hardly any food to feed themselves. Adolf Hitler, who fought in World War One, blamed the Jews for what had happened to them. Germany believed him since there was a solution to regain their former glory and they had someone to blame for losing it in the first place.

It was the industrialisation of genocide.

The distance between Westerbork transit camp and Auschwitz concentration camp is 1,099 Kilometers or 683 Miles.

Absolutely nothing, it would take a person to raise questions.

The golden age of jewish culture in the lberian peninsula which coincided with the middle. The coexistence of muslims jews and christians during this time is revered by many writers

gas chambers acid showers shot burned whipped

No it's rude to ask an engaged or young married couple if they plan to have children because that is their private business.

he is nine just read the book!

I assume you mean it failing. Yes they are. Obviously they should have sided with Hitler though.

If you were hiding anyone it made sense to avoid standing out.
