Why did Nazis make Jews suffer in concentration camps?

To show how un-important they were to them, and make them miserable before they burned them in the ovens. Basically because they were to kill everyone who didn't have light hair, and blue or green eyes, and that was against the Jews religion.

Why did Axis countries not under Nazi control murder their Jews?

Which countries are you thinking of?

Countries like Romania and Bulgaria and more specifically Slovakia.

___

Romania had a long history of rabid antisemitism steeped in superfical religiosity, but Bulgaria in fact claims that it refused to hand over its own citizens to the Nazis. Slovakia was a German puppet state from 1939-44 with very little autonomy, and like most Catholic countries in Eastern Central Europe it was extremely antisemititic, believing that (most of) the Jews were Communists, and that Communism was a specifically Jewish ideology. Much the same is true of Croatia. In the period c. 1918 onwards the Catholic church was haunted by the spectre of Bolshevism.

Incidentally, Slovakia was the only country in Europe that went so far as to pay(!) the Germans to remove its Jews.

--------

Bulgaria surrendered 11 384 Jews to the Nazis, these were comprised of refugees and Jews who lived in the territories gained during the war. In doing so they 'saved' the 50 000 Jews from 'Old' Bulgaria.

Why did the Jews not simply flee Germany and emigrate to the US?

Many wanted to do precisely that, but in the interwar period the US had highly restrictive immigration policies and these were enforced. To put it bluntly, there were strict limits on the number of immigrants that the US admitted from Germany, Austria and other countries. By the way, there were also political, non-Jewish refugees from Germany swelling the numbers applying for entry to the US.

Why did some jews agree to work as police in the ghettos?

It was a way to ensure employment, this also meant food for them and their families.

The ghetto police was a very sought after position, as such it was largely comprised of richer, or the children of richer people. Or upper class and more influential people. The ghetto police also would be more likely comprised of those who were sent to the ghettos earlier.

Why did the Germans abandon Auschwitz?

  • The Soviet Army was approaching Auschwitz and the SS guards knew they could expect no mercy at all if they were captured.
  • The SS wanted to cover up what had happened there.
  • The SS also wanted to prevent the liberation of the prisoners, and therefore took them on death marches to other camps inside Germany.

Belief, or the lack of it does not determine one's innocence or guilt.

Why is the little girl red coat in color in the movie Schindlers list?

I interpret this many ways but these are a few of my reasons..

1. to show the innocence and hopefulness (colourfulness rather than dull and gloomy b+w) of the jews, predominantly children during the holocaust.

2. red has connotations of danger and blood and violence and horror. for it to be the only colour in the movie signifies these things.

3. We see it on a young girl, and we follow her through the town and under her bed to hiding. she is active and we familiarise with the character, and then we see the red coat on a death wagon. by getting the audience to become attached to the character and then for them to be killed makes the process more realistic, and more tragic.

4. to give the movie an artistic element, and show that it is a recent productional recount, not a classic movie.

im only 16 so im sorry if these arent very scientific or in depth :)
