How can genocide be prevented?
The sensory nerves are those that send signals from both the muscles and the skin to the brain and spinal cord where it is processed, causing you to experience many sensations, including pain. There are many things that can cause nerve pain. Nerve pain and damage may often be mild, but even then it can still affect your life.
One particular type of nerve pain that millions of people experience is sciatica. Sciatica refers to a condition where the sciatic nerve, which starts in the lower back and travels through the buttocks into the leg, is pinched. The sciatic nerve is made up of multiple spinal nerves so that when it is pinched it can cause pain that extends from the buttocks all the way down the back of the leg. This type of nerve pain is usually caused by a herniated disc or a bone sput that presses on one of the roots of the sciatic nerve.
Symptoms of nerve pain caused by sciatica are:
•Lower back pain
•Pain in the back of the thigh, lower leg or foot. This pain may often be worse than the back pain itself.
The pain can range from moderate to severe and will usually start in the buttocks. If the pain does not extend beyond the knee, the problem may not be true sciatica. For people who have sciatica for a long time, the pain eventually centers in the buttocks and the back of the leg and the actual back pain may diminish.
Treatment for the nerve pain caused by sciatica varies depending on the severity of the case. Many cases of sciatic nerve pain go away on their own over time. Fairly conservative treatments like rest and limiting activities that may aggravate the condition, combined with anti-inflammatory medication are usually the first treatment alternative. Strengthening and stretching exercises as well as supervised physical therapy work well to help sufferers return to their regular activities.
Surgery is usually the last option when all other more traditional treatments have failed. But there are now endoscopic surgical procedures that can repair a herniated disc and relieve the nerve pain. These replace the much more invasive open back surgeries and pain and discomfort are greately reduced along with recovery time.
In the World War II era, Nazi actions toward European Jews escalated 'up the pyramid of hate' in quite a systematic way as the Holocaust progressed. After 'merely' abusing Jews verbally and through restrictive laws, the Nazis began deporting them from areas under their control. They turned next to corralling them into isolated 'ghettoes' within urban areas. They then began transporting them to work-camps after stripping them of their valuables. Finally, they began the systematic extermination of Jews by sending them to clearly designed death-camps.
Did the Nazis treat highly skilled Jews differently from the others?
No. Jews in the professions (doctors, lawyers, university professors) and Jewish scientists were treated just as badly as the rest. The same applied to Jews who were qaulified electricians and plumbers. None was exempt from persecution.
What were ghettos and concentration camps?
Ghettos were areas were minorities like jews lived, however these were controlled by the Nazis, guards made sure people who came in and out were allowed to and were not smuggling things, like food as it was rationed. However concentration camps were the places that were originally labour camps but then progressed to be places that killed people in large numbers
What do Americans want to know about China?
Well, I can't speak for all Americans, but I guess I can speak as an American, so maybe that's close enough. I'd like to know what the general Chinese populous thinks of the government. Americans typically view the Chinese government as something akin to that of Big Brother's government in Orwell's 1984, and nothing I've seen in the news has dissuaded me from agreeing with that characterization. With such a large population, why haven't the people demanded reform? Are they happy under this government? Are things not as bad as they seem to us?
How did Anne Frank's family die?
Anne and her sister Margot died in Bergen-Belsen concentation camp of typhus. Her mother died of starvation in Auschwitz and her father was the only member of the family survive.
Margot Frank died when she was eighteen years old, Anne Frank when she was 15.
Margot Frank died at age 19 and Anne Frank died at age 15, just 3 months before her birthday. Margot died slightly before Anne Frank, it is belived to have Margot died 3 weeks before Anne.
Her father was the only surviver of the group, and came back to get Annes writings. Anne went to a Jewish secondary school, though most think that it was a montissory.
The Holocaust ended when the various camps were liberated by the Allies, mainly in 1945. By 9 May 1945 it was over, though liberated prisoners were still dying of disease and malnutrition.
In areas under Nazi control the Holocaust continued right up to the end of the war in Europe. Obviously, in mid and late 1944 some areas had been liberated, and there the Holocaust was over. For example, in July 1944 the Soviet Army liberated the first really big camp - Majdanek (in the suburbs of Lublin, Poland).
At the time of liberation, many prisoners were desperately ill and many died of disease soon after their camps were liberated, despite all efforts to save them.
Which cultures were persecuted by the Nazis?
Mostly those cultures that were either/or non-Christian, not white, not conforming to the Aryan standard, including:
* Jews
* Roma or Gypsies
* Homosexuals
* Eastern European cultures thought to be lower
Hmm... beeing christian didn't directly signify those people weren't persecuted. I would like to add political opponents (could be christian, white and even aryan) or Jehovah's Witnesses (persecuted because they relied on the christian belief that only Jesus is the rescuer and not Hitler).
Are bifocal contacts easier for men or women to get used to?
These multifocal lenses work a bit differently than conventional contacts do. There are two powers on each contact -- one to correct vision up close, and one for far away. Certain types of bifocal lenses are made very much like bifocal eyeglasses are. This means they have two different prescriptions with the close up vision correction on the bottom and far away vision correction on top with a line separating the two. Other types of bifocal contacts blend the two types of prescriptions together like progressive lens eyeglasses do. Your eye doctor will determine which type of lens is best for you. This does not answer my question AT ALL ! I wasnted to know if it's easier for men or women to get used to bifocal contacts. the reason I ask is that I had absolutely no problem from the first second I got mine but my brother & a male first cousin could not wear them at all. I've heard that the 2 hemispheres of the female brain communicate more than the hemispheres of male brains. I was wondering if that fact accounted for the difference between my experience & that of my male relatives.
Why was Adolf Hitler important to the Holocaust?
HE was the one who started the holocaust. The reason Adolf Hitler was so important was because he was the leader of Nazi Germany, also because he started the Second World War he invaded Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. He also had millions of Jews executed.
He started the war because he wanted to rule the world.
Can you put the expensive gas in your gas scooter?
It all depends on the type of scooter you have, but your best bet would be to check your manual and look what octane ratings can be used for your scooter. The premium gas at most American Gas Satations is 93 octane.
yes you can run your scooter on the higher octane gas i run my scooter on hygorgenpuroxide the stuff u put in cuts but put more oil in the mix that will give u a realy big kick
Running a scooter on higher octane will not increase your performance. Higher octane fuel is normally used in fancy cars because it is less likely to cause backfires because it needs more compression to ignite it.

the Jews were being exterminated by the millions, genocide is the ahniliation of a race of people, or the people of a certain country
Why did Germans use Jews as servants?
Germans were not allowed to use Jews as servants, however many were used as slaves: In a massive level, inmates of concentration camps were used as slave labour for construction projects and on a smaller level individuals were taken from the camps to be used as domestic slaves for the SS.
What made intervention in stopping the holocaust so difficult?
WWII, the Holocaust was perpetrated under the cover of the second world war. This made it hard for anyone to do anything about it.
What was the difference between concetrantion camps and death camps?
Death camps had the facilities to commit mass murder, they also had limited barracks as they did not house many inmates (Auschwitz was the exception as it was both).
Why was being a Jew in the holocaust such a bad thing?
The Holocaust was the attempted genocide of European Jews, it was bad to be a Jew in the Holocaust because you would be murdered.
What torture devices were used in Nazi Concentration camp?
There is a widely held, but mistaken view that the Nazis made extensive use of fiendishly ingenious torture devices. In concentration camps the guards most commonly beat inmates - sometimes with their fists and sometimes with various implements ranging from whips to cudgels and long, heavy crowbars.
Sometimes the guards pushed prisoners to the ground and kicked them black and blue with their heavy jackboots (which were a bit like heavy 'goth' boots), smashed their teeth, and so on.
However, actual torture differed from camp to camp. Mengele, the "Angel of Death", did indeed commit vile experiments on select inmates -- with a particular fixation on identical twins, dwarfs, and genetically inferior persons. These experiments included: -Hurting a twin and gauging the other twins' reaction -Removing body parts to test the survival time of the patient -Testing new, unfounded surgery techniques (supposedly without anasthesia -- debated by some historians) -Using saltwater and electricity to gauge the pain response of the human body These means did became the most infamous torture techniques in the Nazi regime.
However, general torture of the inmates is pretty much easy to imagine -- whipping; random killing or maiming; rape; defamation and degradation of the person's rights; many torture techniques that the Nazi prison guards (and even some prison inmates who themselves practised torture) can be found in modern day camps. Some of the SS men did a little reading on the Inquisition ... Bullies are seldom original. However, they didn't have time for elaborate 'torture devices'.
At Auschwitz they sometimes unleashed hungry dogs on the prisoners.
One of the more common tortures used in some Nazi camps involved tying an inmate's wrists securely behind the back and them suspending him (or her) for anything from 30 minutes to a few hours. The pain and the effect on the muscles and joints can easily be imagined. It was horrific.
An interesting early account of life in a concentration camp is: Eugen Kogon, The Theory and Practice of Hell. (Various publishers). Eugen Kogon was a prisoner at Buchenwald from 1939 till the camp was liberated in 1945. He was immensely resilient and wrote most of the book in 1945-46. Part of it was used in evidence by the prosecution at Nuremberg.
As Jean Amery (anagram and pen-name of Hans Mayer) observed, there was a fundamental sense in which torture - a sadistic and fundamental attack on the whole person - lay at the very heart of Nazism, with its bottomless contempt for civilization, morality and human life.
How did Hitler become interested in killing Jews?
A few methods were shown to Hitler as to how the Jews could be killed, when he saw that it was possible, he became interested in killing all of them.
Did the Nazis act alone or did they get help?
The Nazis got a lot of help, there were many volunteer SS regiments and for example many of the SS guards at the gas chambers at Auschwitz were Ukrainians.
Where was nazi commander Hess hung?
Hess hung himself in 1987 at the age of 93, in prison in Germany.
Why did Jews go to South America during World War 2?
South America had easier immigration requirements than the USA or Canada and was distant enough from Nazi Europe that Jews who went there would not risk the Nazis conquering their host nations in the near future.
Ironically, these easier immigration requirements ultimately led to the Nazis who fled from Allied capture and imprisonment to flee to South America as well.

Why did Adolf Hitler wait 5 years to attack German Jews?
Hitler did not wait to attack German Jews; he was elected in part because of his attacks on the Jews. One elected into power he started legislation against Jews straight away. However, he did not intend to physiaclly do anything about Germany's Jews until after the war.
Why did Jews play music at concentration camps?
By no means did all of them survive - many, many Jewish musicians died in the concentration camps. But if you were a good musician, it bought you time. The Gestapo liked to have a band playing when marching prisoners - especially children - to the gas chambers, believing it helped to calm them. The inmates who could play well - Jewish or not - were kept around longer, because they were useful. This, in the long run, increased their chances for survival, though it by no means guaranteed it.
