Holocaust

It is estimated that around six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, many of whom were refugees. In addition, millions of other groups, such as Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents, also perished. The exact number of refugees among the Holocaust victims is not known, but it is believed to be significant.

There were approximately 5,000-6,000 children who lived in the Lodz Ghetto during the Holocaust. Tragically, the majority of them did not survive. It is estimated that only around 900 children from the ghetto survived until the end of the war.

Chaim Weitz Irena Sendler's first husband was Mieczyslaw Sendler. The marriage was dissolved, and she later married Stefan Zgrzembski.

The time it takes for a car to produce enough carbon monoxide (CO) to kill a person can vary depending on various factors, such as the size of the car's engine, speed, and conditions in which it is operating. In a closed garage, it can take as little as a few minutes for lethal levels to accumulate. It's important to remember that exposure to even low levels of CO over an extended period can also be dangerous.

The African Holocaust is a term that describes the period of the transatlantic slave trade, during which millions of Africans were forcibly enslaved and transported to the Americas. Enslaved Africans were subjected to various forms of violence and brutality, including physical abuse, torture, disease, and starvation. However, it is important to note that the majority of enslaved Africans did not die from intentional killing methods, but rather from the harsh conditions and mistreatment they endured.

The kindertransport happened as a result of the persecution of Jews by the Nazis during World War II. The program was organized to rescue Jewish children from Nazi-occupied countries, primarily Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia, and bring them to safety in Great Britain. It aimed to protect the children from the atrocities of the Holocaust and provide them with better opportunities for survival.

The English word "Text" remains the same in German. In the context to send a text message it translates as "eine Kurznachricht versenden" or "eine SMS senden" In colloquial usage the terms "simsen" and "texten" are also used.

The most famous World War 2 concentration camps were located in Auschwitz (Poland), Dachau (Germany), and Treblinka (Poland). These camps were established by the Nazi regime and were responsible for the imprisonment and killing of millions of people during the Holocaust.

While I've never read the book, I do have some knowledge of it. The following is my best recollection. Anne Frank was a Jew living with her extended family in Holland/Netherlands. When Germany occupied the country in 1940, the Frank family was taken in by a Christian family and hidden. As I recall there were six or seven Franks. The hiding place was an attic room converted to living space. With rationing, food was scarce but the Christian family through a variety of means was able to keep the Franks alive. Obviously the conditions were difficult, with so many people living in a small space for a period of years. Anne Frank was about 12 years old when this ordeal began. She wrote a diary during her family's confinement. The hideout was secure until the summer of 1944, when they were betrayed and German soldiers came and arrested the Franks. They were split up, Anne going to, as I recall, the largest work camp of the Holocaust, Auschwitz. Here she contracted typhus (a disease caused by parasites that causes a fever) and died. I think one or two members of her family survived including her father. Anne's diary had been hidden in the attic and was not discovered, by accident, a few years after the war. Her father took the papers, edited them (mainly he removed sexual references, as his daughter was becoming muture as a young teen and made sexual remarks in the diary) and had them published. The book was a world wide best seller.

That is their last name.

Otto Frank was described as having a medium build, with a height of around 5 feet 8 inches (173 cm) and a receding hairline. He had brown hair and brown eyes. Photos show him as having a kind and gentle demeanor.

Miep Gies, her husband Jan Gies, Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler, Bep Voskuijl and occasionally her father, Johannes Voskuijl. Note that these are their real names, not the pseudonyms Anne gave the in the original diary (modern publications of the diary now use these real names instead of Anne's pseudonyms).

Most SS men were indoctrinated to follow orders and had little or no authority to make their own decisions. In some cases SS officers were present at concentration camps but were not involved in the day-to-day atrocities. However there were many SS officers who were aware of the atrocities that were being committed and either chose to turn a blind eye or were too afraid to speak out. For those who were more directly involved they were following orders and were threatened with severe punishment if they did not carry out their duties. Additionally many SS men had a sense of loyalty to Hitler and the Nazi regime and were not willing to risk their own lives in order to help those being persecuted.

It is important to note that the SS was comprised of many different types of people some of whom may have had the courage to speak out against the atrocities but in some cases their efforts were stifled by those who had more power and authority. As a result any attempts at stopping the atrocities were often met with swift and severe punishment.

Hitler takes over Hungary and begins deporting 12,000 Hungarian Jews each day to Auschwitz where they are murdered.

Of course it is possible to work out a daily figure, but this can be misleading. Routine gassings began on 8 December 1941 (at Chelmno) and the Holocaust lasted practically till the end of World War 2 in Europe. On that basis you would get a daily figure of about 4,600 killed per day.

However, there are slightly different ideas as to when the Holocaust began and a daily figure can be misleading. (For example, some would date the start from 25 June 1941, when the mobile killing units went on their first killing spree - in Kaunas, Lithuania). Moreover, some victims died of disease shortly after liberation. For example, nearly 14,000 victims at Bergen-Belsen died after the camp was liberated.

3 million? The usual figure is in the range of 5.7-6.2 million.

Every city and sizable town in eastern Europe had a Jewish ghetto. This was the traditional part of town where the Jews had lived in those Christian nations. Not all the Jews still lived in that part of town anymore, necessarily, put just about all the people living in that part of town were Jews. In several cities, most famously in Warsaw, the Germans forced all Jews living in other parts of the city to move into the old ghetto, which soon became tremendously overcrowded. Fences and walls were built to enclose the ghetto, and the Jews were not allowed out, and the amount of food and medical supplies allowed in was insufficient to sustain the life of all in the Ghetto. Some smuggling and clandestine traffic in and out went on through the city sewer system. Streetcars still ran through the ghetto, but they did not stop as they transited the area, and nobody could get on or off. As Russian troops arrive on the far bank of the river across from Warsaw, the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto made a heroic uprising against the Germans, using the few inadequate weapons they had been able to obtain. They expected the Russians to come on across and soon liberate Warsaw, but the Russians waited six weeks on the far bank, as the Germans finally resorted to bringing in batteries of field artillery and air force bombers to batter the ghetto to rubble. Only after allowing the Germans time to do this did the Russians come on. For the entire Iron Curtain period of Soviet domination of eastern Europe, more than forty years after the war, it was not a good idea for a Pole to mention that he was one of the few surviving heroes of the Warsaw uprising. The Russians did not want any local heroes making leaders of themselves in the eyes of other Poles. The Russians had their own tame Poles, communists, who had spent years in Moscow before the war, carefully indoctrinated puppets and lap dogs for the Soviets, whom they intended to install as the new rulers of Poland, and that is exactly who ran Poland during the entire era of the Warsaw Pact.
