Holocaust

No , not necessarily , because in a war-time economy labor was in high demand .

About six million Jews were killed by the Nazis - mostly between June 1941 and May 1945. Many were killed in mass open-air shootings, especially in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus Latvia and Lithuania. Many were starved to death in the ghettos that the Nazis established in Poland and elsewhere. The number killed in extermination camps is lower than six million.

I once spoke with a Holocaust Survivor who was 12 years old at the time. She told me that she had been in Auschwitz and had the marks on her arm to prove it. When I asked her how she survived the ordeal she told me that she had survived only because of her age. When the Russian Armies came through, anyone still alive in a Nazi Concentration Camp over the age of 20 was believed to be a Nazi Sympathizer and was put to death. That is something you will not read in the History books.

Poland, Belarus and Lithuania.

Nazis transported the Jews by train mostly.

A gathering of ten Jewish men (or women in reform and conservative Judaism) for the purpose of prayer is called a minyan.

The Holocaust is when Hitler killed the Jews and kept them in prison camps.

Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands (Holland), and Great Britain are considered some of the least anti-Semitic nations in the world. Because of this, they are probably the safest countries in Europe for a Jew (or non-Jew) to wear a Star of David necklace in public. In general though, it would really depend upon which local areas within each European nation one plans to visit. Why? Because the most dangerous areas would be where a large percentage of Muslim immigrants reside. This is true throughout most of continental Europe. So if a traveler is careful enough to avoid the various different urban neighborhoods and regional districts where there is a high percentage of Muslims, a Jewish (or non-Jewish) tourist could probably travel around wearing a Star of David with little to no risk at all. Since the rural areas of Europe are relatively free of Muslim immigrants, they would also be the least dangerous places for a Jew to wear the Star of David openly in public.

Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is once again on the rise in Europe after experiencing historical lows in the decades following World War II. Indeed, the many nations of Europe were, in fact, put to shame about their centuries of Jew-hating after the gruesome details of the Nazi Holocaust became available to the public. For many years the European people made a special effort to educate the younger generations about the undeniably evil atrocities committed by Nazi Germany against the Jewish people. Tragically, the youth of Europe see World War II as the distant past that has nothing to do with them. In addition, the virulent hatred of Jews that many Muslim immigrants have brought with them to Europe rubs off on those citizens that would normally be quite tolerant towards the Jews.

So is it safe enough in Europe for a person to wear a Star of David around their neck? Probably not in Muslim neighborhoods, and when it comes to places without any Muslims, it is still not near as safe as it used to be.

He was the president of the United States of America from 1933-1945.

Type your answer here... The Nazis stripped the Jews of all their possessions and happiness by giving them a number, not a name, and squeezing 50 men into a room smaller then most hotel rooms. Their heads were shaved and men and women got separated to different areas so never saw each other again.

The old and weak were shot upon arrival and if a woman was pregnant, she was forced to have the baby just to see it get drowned by Nazis. The men went out to work each day, mostly hard, pointless and fatal jobs, and didn't get fed half as much food as they needed.

Jews were sometimes herded to have a 'shower' where the Nazis would drop gas into the chambers as to suffocate the prisoners. Many innocent people were killed because of superstitions against them so they had to take drastic actions, women often slit their wrists and rub the blood on their cheeks to look healthier. Naturally they died from blood loss soon after but I suppose that would've seemed like a better option.

I actually have a test on this in English soon as I'm studying 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas' I recommend watching the film if you're interested in this topic. There is another by Steven Spielberg called 'Schindler's List' which is slightly more gruesome but just as shocking.

Thanks for reading :)

Yes, the most famous being Sobibor. There were many more attempted revolts, but most did not result in anyone escaping. Most did not expect anyone to escape, but revolted rather than going meekly to their deaths.

Anything his/there sick, twisted mind/s could think of. The prisoners were human guenie pigs. All without anesthisia, (sorry about the spelling)or the need for permission. Those people were Jewish and therefore nothing but dirt to them. Thanks to Hilter. Think of what those people went through as worse than hell on earth. Hopefully, he/they, is/are still getting his/theirs in hell as I type.

They did absolutely nothing to help anyone or anything. They worried about themselves and no one else. Familys were torn and friends were broken, and they only cared for themselves.

the star of david

According to her website, she's about to turn in the last 3 chapters of the book. She has not yet confirmed the release date, but some websites are showing April 2009.

Belzec was an extermination camp.

they most likely witnessed many terrible things. Like dead people, and very thin starved people. many were sick and the place a terrible.

6 million jews and 5 million others

The total death count in WWII is 50 million people

Most Catholic Churches, particularly those in the Vatican did their level best to do everything that they could for the Jews during World War II. The Holy Father issued the only encyclical ever in German calling on the Catholic clergy and laity to resist Hitler. The problem especially in Germany and Poland were that so many of the Catholic clergy, especially the Bishops were put into the Camps and killed. The Holy Father, Pope Pius XII did such an outstanding job of protecting the Jews in Italy that the head rabbi in Rome converted after the war and took Pope Pius' Christian name as his baptismal name.

The Wehrmacht was the name of the armed forces of the 'Third Reich' from 1936-1945.

no

the anti-Jewish policy was tolerated as opposed to being one of the 'selling points'

Dachau was the first concentration camp. It was set up in 1933.

The main effect was six million less people were living.

The question does not specify when, so here are a few examples:

-- in Roman times, Jews were accused of being atheists, because they did not believe in the Roman gods.

-- in medieval times, Jews were accused of poisoning wells and causing the plague.

-- in medieval times, Jews were accused of kidnapping Christian children and murdering them to get their blood because that was a necessary ingredient in Passover matzah. This is known as the blood libel.

-- in medieval times, Jews were accused of murdering Christ, the crime of deicide.

-- in medieval times, Jews were forbidden to enter any trade but banking, and then blamed for being interested only in money.

-- in the 19th century, Jews were accused of a secret conspiracy to rule the world.

-- in the 20th century, Jews were accused of starting wars in order to profit from making loans to both sides.

-- in the 21st century, Jews were accused of causing 9/11.

-- Jews are still accused of atheism, because they deny the Christian trinity and the deity of Jesus.
