Why were Jews outcasts during World War 2?
Well, One of the causes of World War 2 was the Holocaust, which is the discrimination of Jews. Adolf Hitler blamed Germany's defeat in World War 1 on the Jews and got many followers and soldiers called the Nazis. When Germany began to attack Jews in other countries, World War 2 began. [There were also a lot of other reasons why World War 2 started]. Anyway, World War 2 and the Holocaust were in the same time-frame. So basically, the discrimination of Jews was a cause of World War 2 and a problem going on in it. So, Jews weren't exactly outcasts because of World War 2. I think you're looking for information on the Holocaust. Try searching "Holocaust", on a search engine or asking, "What was the purpose of the Holocaust". You may find a more informative answer. However, if you're question was correct, try going back to line 2. Or even search the same question on ask.com. I hope this has been helpful.
What does concentration camp mean during world war 2?

What were most religions in the concentration camps?
The only concentrated group was the Jews,(and it was a massive concentrated effort by the NAZI's) the balance were just whatever the prisoners happened to be.
The only religion to take a firm stand against Hitler was Jehovah's Witnesses, then known as the International Association of Ernest Bible Students. And for this they were persecuted severely, thousands were sent to concentration camps. The SS tried every form of torture and cruel sadistic treatment to get the Bible Students to sign a declaration renouncing their faith and willingness to become a soldier. Many young men who refused to bear arms in Hitler's war were executed for their stand. Hitler was infuriated by the resistance of this small but unyielding group. The camp commander at Sachsenhausen ordered August Dickmann, a young Witness to be executed in the presence of all the prisoners, with Jehovah's Witnesses out front where they would get the full impact. Afterwards he dismissed all but the Witnesses and asked "Who is now ready to sign the Declaration?" Not one of the approximately 400 present responded. Then two stepped forward; not to sign, but to ask that their signatures given a year earlier be annulled. The record of the treatment given those in the Nazi concentration camps to all the various groups- Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, criminals, and Jehovah's Witnesses is documented fully at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.
Answer:It could hardly be said that Jehovah's Witnesses "stood up to Hitler". JWs won't/wouldn't serve in ANY army, not just Hitler's. They were rounded up because they didn't recognize Hitler's authority, just as JWs today don't recognize fully the authority of governments.In addition to the religious/"racial" groups mentioned above, many Catholics (including priests) went to the camps, some for helping Jews evade the SS.
Addition:Some people believe the definition of Holocaust should include other groups systematically murdered, including other Christians (including Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses), Poles, Gypsies, Communists, Homosexuals, Disabled People, and various political oppositions.This would bring the real toll to between 11 and 17 million people. We know approximately 6 millions Jews were exterminated, so that indicates that between 5 million and 11 million Atheists, Christians, and Pagans were exterminated. It is would be difficult to break down the exact numbers per religion without referring to the Nazi records.
Further addition:Referring to Nazi records would be difficult since most were destroyed or permanently sealed towards the end of the war ( a lack which gives Holocaust deniers traction). The huge number of Russian PoWs who were starved to death in PoW camps alongside (but separate from) other Allied servicemen should also be mentioned. There were certainly more deaths than the 6 million to 6 1/2 million commonly quoted, and there are other issues such as locals essentially starved to death because Nazis stole their food or destroyed crops, right across Europe from France to Russia. Of course the Communists also destroyed crops and food stores and it could be argued that the Soviet toll wasn't too far off that of the Nazis.What were common medical experiments during the Renaissance?
What is bunker from the Holocaust?
a Bunker is simply an underground manned structure. They were used in both World Wars as concealed command posts, and were equipped with various types of communications gear as field radios, telephones wire-facilities and so on. Hitler committed suicide in his command bunker near Berlin. Bunkers are not specific to the Holcaust period, but have been a warfare appliance over many centuries, related might be escape tunnels. Troops and civil officials assigned to bunker duty got some of the same psychological problems as submarine men, claustrophobia- shack fever, constant fear of the enemy closing in- and a sort of disjunction - if that is a word- a disconnect- with the outside world from the closed bunker position. Take some civil indoor jobs and amplify things to the violent conditions of warfare! Combat neurosis could happen easily in a bunker from the closed-up situation, something only rarely talked about in WW2 novels.
Why do the Nazis evacuate the Aushcwitz camp?
In November of 1944, in the face of the approaching allied Red Army, Himmler ordered gassings to stop and for a "clean-up" operation to be put in place in order to conceal traces of the mass murder and other crimes that they had committed. The Nazi's destroyed documents and dismantled, burned down or blew up the vast majority of buildings.
The orders for the final evacuation and liquidation of the camp were issued in mid-January 1945. The Germans left behind in the main Auschwitz camp, Birkenau and in Monowitz about 7,000 sick or incapacitated who they did not expect would live for long; the rest, approximately 58,000 people, were evacuated by foot into the depths of the Third Reich.
SS guards, these 58,000 men and women prisoners were led out of Auschwitz from January 17-21. Many prisoners lost their lives during this tragic evacuation, known as the "Death March."
Who was targeted for Eugenics?

Assumptions about the Holocaust?
Six Million or so Jewish people were killed, Lord knows how many had injuries or health problems in surviving or escaping. All of this is taken at face value. It is interesting that the Holocaust descendants rarely go into personal angles- to put a human face on this suffering. Anne Frank is a notable exception. One does not find Omnibus volumes in a positive note- say- Holocaust survivors of World War II, but nearly every other aspect of the war is treated in such a fashion, to get different points of view. One guess ( and you don"t find any roll calls or honor rolls in public places- unlike conventional casualties of wars) is that the stories would somewhat conflict and weaken the argument- Box the compass before setting the course! They will talk evasively and come up with odd but feasible counterarguments- like ( there is a huge crowd at Journal square, how many people could you identify?) and a tendency is there to get vague on the details- simply ( my whole family was deported). They agree on the big figures, but tend to break down ( not psychologically) on finer points.
Did the Danish resistance use handkerchiefs filled with cocaine to help save the Jews?
no, there was no need to go to extraordinary methods.
Why did Hate Groups from the Holocaust not like Homosexuals?
there were no hate groups as we know them, the Nazi party offered enough prejudice that anyone who was inclined to be hateful could either be with them or against them and fulfill their needs.
The dislike of Homosexuals was quite universal. It was only about ten years ago that the US lifted the ban on homosexuals in the armed forces, and equal rights for homosexuals are still not universal.
How did Jews experience Anti Semitism?
In the early 1930s The Jews (know as Juden in Germany) were ostracized, made second class citizens, had their businesses boycotted and they had to wear the Star of David on their arms so everyone knew they were Judens. Also children were vicious to the Jewish kids in school.
Later in the decade the Jews lost their businesses, they were rounded up and taken to Ghettos or Concentration Camps or they fled the country. Some went into hiding.
The Third Reich had come up with a total elimination of the Jews called "The Final Solution." It was an order by Hitler to kill off all the Jews in Europe. He was the worst type of racist. He not only had them killed he stole their money, valuables, homes, businesses and the gold from their teeth. He stashed it away and used a lot of the Jews' money to fund his horrendous war.
Was the Holocaust by the Nazis predetermined?
You really need to add something like: 'and, if so, from what date?' The idea that there was some long-standing blueprint (dating from the 1920s) for the Holocaust has been rejected by most specialists in Holocaust history since the early 1980s or even earlier. Note that until August 1941 Jews were allowed to leave Germany (and some occupied countries) if they had somewhere to go to. This is strong evidence against an early plan to exterminate.
According to the historian Christopher Browning, there was a change in Nazi Jewish policy which crystallized in September-October 1941. Some other historians prefer to put the date in early December 1941, but the time differences are small.
