Did the Jews outnumber the Nazis?
Yes. There were more Jews than there were high-ranking members of the Nazi Party. However, the Wehrmacht (the German Army) was much larger than either group. The reason that the Nazis were able to commit the atrocities that they did was that there was minimal resistance to their plans and the Jews were unarmed, which made them easier targets.
What was the main goal of the nazi policy genocide?
MY PERSPECTIVE
-TO cleanse the Europe from Jews as they'd planned to conquer the world one day via the Zionism... stuff. Duh. (see what happened in Palestine?)
-To cleanse out the crap for their ideal *barf* Aryan race. Happy, 'unflawed' blondes. LIKE New World Order of Stalin's.
- To them, Jews are like parasites. And some undesirables, too are like parasites. So get rid of them and those Nazis can live happily ever after.
What are some key components of Nazi beliefs?
For them, they thought Justice. But the real thing is Ridding the world of the Jews.

Was it Alois Hitler's fault for what Adolf Hitler did?
The sins of the father are not the sins of the son. Adolf Hitler was very aware and cognizant of everything he said and everything he did. He was an incredible orator, able to motivate tens of thousands of people with his passionate beliefs about the greatness of the German people. He was well aware of how effective he was in galvanizing support for his atrocities and planned elaborate systems for maintaining the bureaucracy that drove it. He also spent a lot of time and effort in developing the ideology that would drive this hatred. Hitler was not a machine, but a man and a very passionate one who freely chose to commit one of the greatest atrocities in history.
Was what Hitler did a hate crime?
Yes, surely. He was a squalid, petty minded little man, full of hatred and resentment, who then made no attempt to keep his many hatreds under control. His victims had done him no harm and, with a handful of exceptions, he didn't know them.
Please see the related question for a list of the various groups that he had murdered.

There were a few organisations which had such a name, the most famous of which was probably the ALN in Algeria. Other organisations with such a name exist or have existed in Albania, Macedonia (two movements - one, a partisan resistance for during WWII, and the second was a Albanian terrorist organisation associated with the UCK terrorists in Kosovo), Bolivia, Columbia, Iran, and the name has also been used by one of the paramilitary terrorist organisations associated with the Republican movement in Northern Ireland.

Are blue-eyed people are crazy because Hitler chose blue-eyed people for his master race?
Hitler did not choose blue eyed people for the master race. That is simply a stereotype of Germans. It is simply because many Aryans at that time had blue eyes. Hitler himself had brown eyes.
What are all of camp cispus's songs?
Well... I can't name all of them but I'm going to cispus in two weeks and we were singing some in our multipurpose room and a few are: Tarzan of the apes, my aunt came back, I'm a nut, stupid camp!, great green globs (my favorite), john Jacob jinglheimer shmitt, and that's all I can think of hope I helped a little.
Is it true Hitler started killing Jews because his wife cheated on him with a Jew?
No, that is not true. Firstly, Hitler started killing Jews long before he was even married. And secondly, Hitler's hatred of Jews went back much further and much deeper and was more based on his belief that Jews were responsible for Germany losing WW 1 and were responsible for Germany's problems in the first part of the 20th century.
Could the holocaust have ended without a War?
I wouldn't have been so harsh if there wasn't war. WWII allowed the fascist Reich access to most of Europe and hence most of Europe's Jews, Handicapped, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Homosexuals. As Nazi Germany gained power in Europe they lashed out at Asia specifically Russia, and Hitler's archenemy, Stalin. This strategic mistake caused the Liberace of Europe from The Third Reich and hence the cease of all camp activity in Europe.
It would not have started without the war.
What did the americans do with the Nazis?
In battle, they were either killed or taken prisoner. After the war, some were hung and some were sent to jail for war crimes. Since almost all Germans had to become Nazi's, most were forgiven and became ordinary citizens. A few (like Werner Von Braun) were responsible for building up the USA space program.
For what crime did the innocent people of Lidice suffer in the Holocaust?
The were accused of killing Reinhard Heydrich, a German in charge of Bohemia and Moravia. Hitler wanted to teach them (citizens of Lidice) a lesson, so he planned to kill all of them. It turns out, it was a different Lidice that was guilty! That is the reason the people suffered. For nothing.
Does the Boy in the Striped Pajamas deal with the holocaust in an appropriate way?
Yes, it is not at all explicit. And even though you totally understand what's going on, it doesn't really show you.
How did the Jews find out they were going to ghettos?
There were signs posted all over the local areas. Some Jews reacted by going into hiding, some left for Switzerland and other places they could get to.
Does the Holocaust disproves God's existence?
Answer 1
In the Jewish Tanakh, God foretold that the lost tribes of Israel would one Day (Age) return to their homeland of Israel. There is a saying that God works in mysterious ways. If not for the Holocaust, would European Jews have fled to the Holy Land and would the world (U.N.) have been prepared to return a portion of Palestine to them and formalize the nation-state of Israel?
Is Canada to be blamed for what happened to the Jews in the Holocaust?
Canada is partially responsible. They were a contributor to the holocaust. Reasons: Anti-semitism Immigration policies S. S. St. Louis
__
This is a huge stretch. While the Canadian government behaved reprehensibly and had definite anti-Semitic policies, in no way can Canada be held responsible for what happened in Nazi Germany. Canada's shame is it's unwillingness to accept refugees at the beginning of the nightmare. Our policies had no affect on Hitler. So no, Canada is not to be blamed for the death camps, concentration camps etc. The Nazi's were responsible for creating the situation that made the Holocaust occur.
