Why was slavery worse than the holocaust?

The question presumes that slavery was worse, however the counter is true. The treatment received by those incarcerated by the Nazis was far worse than most American and especially British slaves ever encountered. Aside from transport from Africa, the slaves, in America at least, experienced a standard of living far above that of the average white subsistence farmer. Slaves had inherent worth. While they were treated largely as livestock, the represented an huge investment on the part of plantation owners, far more than that earned by average yearly wages for the common worker.

Those arrested by the Nazis and placed in the camps cost the Nazis nothing to acquire. While there was some investment in transport, camp construction, wages of troops and guards, and final dispositions of those terminated, the resources generated by the free labor was substantially more.

Did Iraqi Jews and Iranian Jews go through the holocaust?

There is a controversy in the Jewish community as to whether the Holocaust reached Iraq. While Hitler and Nazi Germany never successfully invaded or conquered any part of Iraq, the Iraqi leadership, especially the Golden Square Officers and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, were Nazi sympathizers and met with key Nazi leaders (including Hitler himself). They did plan to murder a large segment of the Iraqi Jewish population but were effectively prevented from doing so by the British. However, on Shavuot 1941, there was a massive pogrom in Baghdad called the Farhud which resulted in 200 Jewish fatalities and thousands of seriously wounded Jewish persons. The Farhud was organized by the very same Nazi Sympathizers in Iraq. Jews agree on most of the above details.

The controversy is over whether or not the Farhud and the policies brought about by the Golden Square and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem qualify as an extension of the Holocaust. Those who say it does liken it to the Croatian and Romanian massacres of Jews which were run independently of the main Nazi Holocaust by Nazi sympathizers in those countries. Those who say it does not consider the Farhud a part of the History of Iraq and the result of the growing Anti-Semitism directed at Iraqi Jews because of their position in the British colonial government.

There is no debate concerning Iran; the Holocaust did not reach Iran.

Why did German citizens help murder millions of Jews?

It was not only German citizens, it was citizens from most countries of occupied Europe. In fact German citizens did less to help than most, Jews from Germany were mainly deported to the ghettos, rather than the death camps, also there were actually (some)protests in Germany over the deportations.

Some countries did have the normal citizens affect the deportations: In Finalnd after 8 Jewish refugees were deported there were popular protests and no more Jews were taken. In Denmark the ordinary citizens helped Jews escape from the Nazis. But in France (for example) Jews were rounded up by the French.

What was in the handkerchief that made it impossible to search for the hidden Jews during the holocaust?

Rabbit blood and cocaine were in the handkerchief that made it impossible to search for the hidden Jews.

The cocaine made it impossible to search for the hidden Jews because when they smelled the cocaine, the cocaine numbed their noses so they could not smell anything. Because a cocaine is a type of drug, the dogs were in a lot of pain that many dogs died.
