Cite examples of how the Jews gradually lost their freedom?
As we have seen recently in some of the middle eastern countries, not all nations allow their citizens the right to freedom of religion. Germany certainly didn't during WWII and the last half of the 1930's.
You'll need a copy of the death certificate and evidence that you are entitled to the vehicle, either from the executor of the estate or from the court. Then you can go to the bank and have the note transferred to your name and have the state transfer title to you and the bank.

What are the different ways the Jewish people died and how frequently was it used?
Gas chambers, starvation, bullets, beatings, pretty much anything you can imagine. The Nazi's were very efficient in death. They were also very efficient in destroying their records when it was evident that they were loosing the war.
If you ask me, that sounds like a FANTASTIC approach to solving a staffing or a turnover problem!

How did the Jewish people and anti-Nazi European citizens fight back?
They fought in a military-conflict, all they could do was hope the Nazi wouldn't get to them because there efforts generally were in vain
Anne Frank died, aged 15, in March 1945 (exact day unknown) in Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, near Hanover in northwest Germany and was buried in a mass grave. Both her and her sister Margot died of Typhus in the camp. In camp, they were malnourished, beaten, dehydrated, and abused. Only survivor in their family is dad, Otto Frank.
How did Holocaust survivor Irma Menkel die?
Irma managed to make it out of concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. She was the leader of the barracks and saw Anne Frank, along with many others, die. For her full story have a look at this website:

How many people died in the Holocaust because of the genocide?
Toward the end of the war, when the NAZI's were finally aware that they would be defeated, the leaders were directed to destroy all record of the murders. A part of their conscence told them that they had committed evil acts.
As in the death camps, the NAZI's were efficient also in destroying records. As a result, estimates were made based on the number of Jews in Germany, Austria, Poland, France and other Axis occupied nations BEFORE the war and the number who were not found afterward. Family members reported who was taken away, Jews who were forced to work in the death camps kept a type of record, many NAZI war criminals were interviewed and a great effort was made to try to determine the number of people that were murdered. Over 5,000,000 people were killed
Presumably there have been acts of genocide that have not been recorded and are simply not known. In the 20th century there were: * The genocide of the Herero tribe in what was then German South-West Africa (commited by Germany). Death toll: about 65,000 (?). * The slaughter of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish government in 1915-1917. (Modern Turkey has excruciating hang-ups admitting this). Death toll: about 1.2-1.5 million.* The Nazi genocide of the Jews (1941-1945). Death toll: about 5.75 million. * Genocide of the Tutsis by the Hutus - Rwanda, 1993. Death toll: about 800,000.
Total Deaths*:
6,000,000 Jews
11,500 in all
*approximately
How many Germans did the Jews kill?
The Jews were not organized; they had no Jewish army ... As Jews they killed almost no Germans. (Raul Hilberg estimates the figure as 300 at most).
Obviously, the Allied armed forces contained Jews, but they fought as soldiers and citizens of, for example, the U.S., Britain, the Soviet Union, not as Jews.
Who's plan was it to invade Denmark in World War 2?
Hitlers, since any major concept of the war required his approval.
Why did Hitler decide to punish Jews?
Hitler decided to exterminate/murder/destroy the Jews because of his hatred. He falsely and steadfastly believed that Jews were responsible for almost all of Germany & Europe' problems. He decided that they (the Jews) would become the scapegoats & sacrificied to make much of the German population happier about its economic, political & cultural situation. He found that many Germans would support a few of his measures, and that a few would support all his measures. He would start small, and expand these measures as the years went by.
Will the Jews from World War 2 go to heaven or hell?
That is not something that is possible for us to determine. It's probably not an everyone or no one situation, as that is likely determined individually and not as an entire group.

If your boyfriend says he hates you does that really mean he does?
If he has said it after a tragic event or blunder. Than he means that he is really upset and sad.
Where there any Bar Mitzvahs held in ghettos during the Holocaust?
Yes people still held bar mitzvahs in the ghetto but they were very small and secretive so they wouldn't get caught.
In concentration camps what happen to the people and their families?
They were separated and if it was an extermination camp, those considered unfit for use as slave labor were put to death.
Why were the concentration camps be concentrated mostly in Germany?
Ten of the twenty-three major concentration camps created by the Axis in
World War Two were located in Poland, nine were in Germany and four
were located in other countries. Answer 2 The Camps in Germany were built to hold Germans who spoke out of turn, and were reported to the Gestapo, sometimes by their own families, even their children. They were terrible places to be in, but not true death camps, at first anyway. Dachau, for example, was a so called, re-training camp, but many Germans died anyway, and others, had their spirits broken, and returned to their families, altered people. However, very soon, people died from beatings, starvation, or just because they gave up. And then they were a smaller version of the true death camps. Many became testing grounds for killing people, and if it worked, then it was used in the big death camps in Poland. There were in fact hundreds of camps in Germany. Some very small, others for special projects. Even being built near Factories to supply a free works force. Some of the well known names around today, and supplying things like washing machines, cars, and Iron smelters, were involved in this. One about today, built the Crematoriums used in the camps in Poland and other places.
Helen Zunser Wortis, the wife of Joseph Wortis, died in the early fall of 1976, at the couples home on Shelter Island, New York.
Why were so many jews killed in the holocaust?
Basically because no one stood up for them. (the Jews)
How are concentration camps different from ordinary prisons?
Concentration camps aren't subject to the usual rules and regulations for prisons and are outside the law. This nearly always means that penalties in camps are much harsher than would be permitted in a prison in the same country. The guards are not held to account for excesses. It also usually means that deaths in camps aren't investigated seriously - or at all.
Moreover, concentration camps are usually for people who have not been sent there by a court. In other words, they are sent there without due process, simply on the orders of the government.
For example, in Nazi Germany homosexuals who were tried and convicted of homosexual acts by ordinary courts were generally sent to prison; but in cases where the 'evidence' consisted of rumours and hearsay - against whom they was little or no solid evidence - were sent to concentration camps.
Nazis and Jews are not alike in any way. Those people who say or believe that Nazis and Jews are alike are not only wrong, they are intolerant and bigoted. Nazis, the followers of Adolph Hitler, discriminated against Jews, and murdered or tortured many Jews in the Holocaust. Ask any Holocaust survivor, and they will tell you how the Nazis harmed the Jews. They will also tell you that Jews are not Nazis, and are not like the Nazis in any way.
Where can i get questions and answers to Devils Arithmetic?
I would suggest going to the “Literature” section of Answers, as “Devil’s Arithmetic” has nothing to do with basic arithmetic (I believe, for I have not read the book).
