Holocaust

errrm u tell meeh.

The Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. gives each visitor an identification card before they tour the main exhibit. One of these is for Eva Braun Levine. On the last page it reads, "As the Allies advanced, the camp prisoners were evacuated to the Bergen-Belsen camp. There, Eva was liberated by the British in April 1945. She moved to the United States in 1950."

Peter was told he would have to leave Auschwitz with other prisoners on a march to another camp. Otto, staying behind in Auschwitz because he was in sick bay, begged Peter to stay in Auschwitz, hiding, as he thought it would improve Peter's chances. Peter felt he had a better chance going on the forced march. He did go on the march, and arrived at Matthausen concentration camp, where he died just a few days before it was liberated.

The Shtetl provided a very insular communal life which revolved around the home, the synagogue, and the market place. This led to very strong communal structure and "everyone knowing everyone else's business". As a result, religious practice was more or less mandatory (people would know if you did not show and avoid you) and the trustees of the community created a welfare state for the poor in the community. Business was slow, if existent, as most Jews were not allowed to leave the Shtetl and made handicrafts. Yiddish was perfected as a Jewish language separate from mainstream society and Hasidism was forged in these communities.

Overall, Jews in the Shtetl had worse sanitation and living conditions than their non-Jewish brethren outside of the district. However, the unique cultural expression and spirituality of the Shtetl environment has led to its romanticization by Modern Post-Shtetl Jews (like Chagall).

Nazis carried out the Holocaust during and just before WW II

There are three reasons why Jews who entered concentration camps were burned with an identifying number.

1) Conflict with Jewish Practice: The Nazi leadership, contrary to most common thought, was actually well-acquainted with Jewish traditions and beliefs. This does not mean that they respected them in any way; they most certainly did not. However, it is important to note that they did numerous acts in direct contravention to Jewish beliefs such as making the forced labor uniforms out of both linen and wool, incinerating the dead, killing the women and children before killing the men, and numerous other infractions. Burning a number into a person's arm is in direct contravention to the Jewish belief that a person should not have a permanent engraving in their flesh.

2) Dehumanization: Branding of humans is a long-developed process and was most prominent during the American (as in North and South American) slave enterprise. Branding a person was way to turn that person into a piece of property of chattel. Chattel, like any other form of property, needed identifying markers so that everyone would know to whom the chattel belonged and would more readily return it. It also had the effect of differentiating the owned man from other free men as something inferior.

3) General Maintenance: A Concentration Camp or Death Camp was a large facility with numerous deportees and a large German managing staff. In order to coordinate all of the various events, procedures, and other forms of slaughter, an incredibly detailed list of the goings on needed to be kept. Assigning every Jew a number helped in this endeavor because accurate accounts of intake could be made.

most attemtion recieved was negative attention, standing out would attract attention.

Some were Catholic, some were Protestants, but it is hard to believe that any of them were truly observant Christians. A few were declared atheists.

Many Jewish people were too traumatized even to mention the Holocaust and what they had gone through, but when some of them heard people say that the holocaust never happened they overcame theri traumas and told their stories, or of the stories of their families.

No, the Holocaust had no legal basis whatsoever. It was simply based on the well known psychopathic principle of "We do what we can get away with". (In the very early days of Nazi rule some SS men were charged with murder, but Himmler had the charges dropped and obtained immunity from prosecution for concentration camp staff under ordinary German laws. Coroners were also prevented from investigating deaths in camps).

NOTE: A quick Google search suggests that the term is mainly medical. ___ In the context of the Holocaust the bystanders were the people who stood aside and watched but did nothing. The other groups were the perpetrators and the victims. Reasons for standing by and doing nothing are likely to have included: * Fear * Indifference * Mild approval * Unwillingness to believe what they saw * The attitude 'It's none of my business/nothing to do with me' I haven't heard the expression bystander inhibition before. Note that the neat division into perpetrators, victims and bystanders has its problems. Some people who started as bystanders later became victims, for example.

Anne and Peter's relationship begins as mere acquaintances, but it deepens as they open up to each other. "We played with Moffi, amused ourselves, chattered together, "and their bond becomes stronger, affectionate and intimate.

Hitler was

Anti-Semitic, or in other words: he had a deep hatred for all Jewish people just because they were Jewish. This was very popular back then, many people were Anti-Semitic. Hitler believed that Germany was the superior race and promised to rid Germany of it's problems. He blamed them all on the Jews. Once he was at full power, he began an act known as "The Final Solution". First it just started out as boycotting, then it grew and grew into Kristallnacht, or Night of the Broken Glass. People all over Europe broke into Jewish owned stores and house and wreck everything. They also burned down Jewishsynagogues, with Jews inside. Many Jews were arrested, killed, or badly injured that night. If they were arrested, they were sent to a work (forced labor) camp or even worse: a concentration camp.

Most Jews that were sent to concentration camps died. By the time the Holocaust and World War II ended, 11 million people died. 6 million were Jews, the other 5 million included Roma (Gypsies), Homosextuals, Poles, and other types of people.

Hitler commited suicided (for he would have been hung anyway) with his wife he only married about 2-3 days before.

The nazi regime in Germany began in 1933 and the World War II (by German attack on Poland) began in 1939, so it was impossible Warsaw was under nazi rule in 1931.

Warsaw was under nazi rule from September 1939 to January 1945.

In the holocaust the corpses (dead bodies) of the victims were often cremated (burnt) after they had been gassed. It saved space.

You are probably thinking of the notorious nazi war criminal Doctor Josef Mengele.

He was also know as "The Angel of Death" and worked as a German SS officer in Auschitz. He is know for his horrible human experimentation on prisoners. Much of his work was performed on twins.

You may be thinking of a movie called "Playing for Time" where one concentration camp had an orchestra made up of prisoners, but this was an exception. The main purpose of concentration camps was to round up Jews, as well as other groups deemed "undesirable" by the Nazis, and subject them to forced labor, starvation, torture, medical experiments, and ultimately death. Some were literally worked to death, or tortured by medical experiments till they died, or put in gas chambers.

"The American Historical Association Council strongly deplores the publicly reported attempts to deny the fact of the Holocaust. No serious historian questions that the Holocaust took place." See link for reference and for background.

WW2 started before the Holocaust.
