What nations were the Jews forced out of?
The region used to be called Judea, and was the home of the Jews. Then the Romans conquered it; they wanted to sever the link between the Jews and the land, so they renamed it to 'palestina', after the ancient, sea-faring Philistines.
When the Romans conquered the area and Jews were forced to live under Roman rule, life grew progressively difficult. And when finally the Jews were exiled, they were scattered across the globe. Thus today, there are Jews in almost all countries, from Japan to Sweden. They all share the same religion, though, even though culturally there are of course many differences.

What had happened during the holocaust?

It depends what you mean when you say Nazi, Neo Nazis were always racist and idiots they have no idea what Nazism stood for and i doubt they ever will
during Hitlers time, they weren't really that racist , yes they had some ideologys but not so much in action, they talked about it but in action they employed black Africans , Muslims, Asians, Indians, they were one of the most multicultural groups on the planet , you'll never hear that in school though, they even had Jews working for them, the Gostopo had tons of Jewish workers , and so did the wehrmact . so many different cultures worked with the Nazis and had better lives then they did under their own people, but today the neo Nazis who have no idea what Nazism is and they are the racist ones realize the difference is that one is a politcal Socialist party that works for one party dominance of the planet , todays neo nazis are fool who disgrace National socialism and any self respecting nazi of the past.

Auschwitz.

The next winter the first purpose built gas chambers were constructed.

Eichmann was responsible for implementing the plans formulated by Heydrich and ordered by Himmler (and initially by Goering).
What caused Hitler to hate the Hungarians?
The question presumes that Hitler hate all of those categories of people: Jews, Egyptians, Americans, and Hungarians. This is not the case. Going back to front, Hitler had no issue at all with Hungarians. He saw them as a lesser race than the Nordic/Aryan Race that he considered to be the highest apex of humanity, but believed that the Hungarians were an acceptable "White Race". Similarly, Hitler saw White Americans as being an acceptable White Race, especially since a large percentage of Americans were ethnic Germans. Hitler was racist towards African-Americans, but considering that African-Americans were quite repressed in the United States at the time, especially in the South with Jim Crow, Hitler did not see the presence of African-Americans as a true issue. As concern Egyptians, he considered Egyptians, like all Arabs, as a subhuman race, but one with which he could have open and honest relations since Germany had no real ambitions in controlling the Islamic World and because they shared Jew-hatred with Hitler.
As for the Jews, yes, Hitler hated them vehemently. Hitler provided numerous rationales during that period as to why he believed that the Jews were worthy of hate. However, the only person qualified to answer this question fully and accurately, without speculation, (Hitler) killed himself on April 30, 1945. Various contributors have stated that the following were some of the reasons that Hitler claimed to hate the Jews:
1) Superiority of the German People: Hitler believed that the Germans as a "race" of Nordic of peoples were superior in all ways to all non-German people. Since the Jews were not a Nordic people, Hitler reviled them (as he reviled the Romani, Slavs, and other ethnic minorities).
2) Decay of the German State: During the 1800s, Jews began to become more integrated in German National Life. They served in its government, its military divisions, and its industry. As was typical of Western Europe, the Jews had more of a hand in the higher echelons of government than their population percentage would account for. The Nazis saw this increasing Jewish percentage in the government as a slow takeover of German policy and a corruption of the German people. They contrasted the great victories under Bismarck with the depressing failure of World War I and noted how a much larger percentage of soldiers in the latter war were Jewish. There was also the sentiment than in the early 20th century, values were beginning to ebb (this is similar to current politics in the United States) and the Jewish integration in the German apparatus (becoming teachers, lawyers, doctors, etc.) was to blame for this recession of values as opposed to modernity as a process.
3) Nationalism: Germany was brought together under the Nationalist conception that all peoples with German culture, history, and language should be united regardless of which principality currently held control. The German self-conception also had an ethnic component, holding that the perfect German was blond and blue eyed. Regardless of the fact that the majority of Germans were dark haired, Jews stuck out like a sore thumb because they overwhelmingly had darker hair. In addition, the idea of a German Jew was still rather new and both Jews and non-Jews tended to see the Jews in Germany as being part of a vast Jewish network and that these Jews just happened to be in Germany. The Nazis capitalized on this cosmopolitan sensibility by claiming that Jews' allegiances were not to the German State, but to secret Jewish Councils organizing world events.
4) Economy: Whether it was true or not, there was perception among Germans and the Nazis in particular that Jews were wealthy individuals and had a higher per-capita income than the Germans. In many ways (because of the above two reasons) Germans felt that the Jews were "stealing" their money while they were poor and suffering. Adolf Hitler blamed the Jewish population for the social and economic problems of the era. A popular anti-Semitic belief was that Jewish families were shrewd and sought to control the wealth of a community at the expense of other members in the community. This being the case he thought that the world would be a better place if the Jews were no longer in charge of finance.
5) Pseudo-Science: The late 19th and early 20th century was filled with radical new ideas concerning Social Darwinism. It was believed by the Pseudo-Scientific community (which was rather in vogue) that different groups of people or races exhibited different emotional traits that were linked to physical differences. This led to the belief that Jews were corrupt and thieving by their irreversible nature and that they could not be "cured" and brought up as proper Europeans. This formalized Racial Anti-Semitism in Germany and made the situation much more dire for German Jews.
6) Heresy/Christian Anti-Semitism: Although not as much an issue in World War II as it may have been 500 years prior, Jews were still considered the heretics who murdered the LORD and Savior. This helped to justify Anti-Semitism as the Jewish comeuppance for their accepting of the "Christ Bloodguilt". Jews were called Christ-killers by the Nazis, as they had by most Christian churches for centuries, and that was behind a lot of the hatred. This existed regardless of the fact that the Bible names the Jews as God's Chosen people first.
7) Hitler's Ambition: Adolf Hitler was very ambitious. His dream was to see Germany at the top. After the First World War he became more and more ambitious. He blamed the Jews for the misery and suffering of Germans. Moreover, he held Jews responsible for the loss of World War I. He claimed that they held high position and were very rich. This was one of reason for his hatred for the Jews.
8) Populism: Adolf Hitler's "hatred" of the Jews was one of the tools he used to convince the people of Germany that he knew the source of their economic problems and that he was the person who could correct the situation. He chose to use the long standing antisemitism in Germany to gain the people's support.
9) Anti-Semitic Childhood: When Hitler was studying Art in Munich as a teenager he was rejected from the academy he wished to attend and for some reason, he blamed it on the city's Jewish population. He was also brought up in an anti-Semitic family (at least some believe).
10) Foreigners: Hitler argued that the German Jews were not 'native' members of the country and should not be able to enjoy the benefits of citizenship. Their motives would be suspect as their loyalty was to something other than Germany. (Of course, this argument has been used against all minorities and is equally fatuous as concerns the Jews.)
11) Communism: Hitler alleged that the Jews were the primary supporters of Communists and thus also considered them in bed with his political opposition. (It should be noted that there is NO credible evidence the Jews were the main supporters of Communism, and this is yet another stereotype used by bigots for decades.)

Before that, the Spanish and English-speaking colonists slaughtered Native Americans on a huge scale: genocide goes back a long way.
Why was it important for families to face to holocaust together?
The reason that I think it was important to face the Holocaust with family members is because this was a time of social breakdown. There were no laws to protect them, no police to come to their aid. All they had were each other, and while that didn't give them much assistance, it was better than nothing at all. It is always important because, no matter what the problem is, family will always be family. During this time, friends could not be trusted, because Nazis were paying for betrayal.
How many Jews were affected during World War 2?
Over 6 million Jews in Europe were exterminated by the Germans and their allies during the war. There were approximately 12 million Jews prior to the war, principally in Poland and the Soviet Union. Many more that survived the death camps, suffered innumberable diseases and hardships after the war.
Most Jews that survived the hell they experienced, were so traumatized that many committed suicide or died before they reached middle age. There will never be an accurate account of the total number of Jews that were murdered,
despite the meticulous records kept by the Germans. Many Jewish survivors immigrated to Palestine and founded the state of Israel and created a new country in the desert, surrounded by hostile Arabs. Others would come to Canada and the United States to start a new life and begin new families. The Jews that remained in Europe were so few in number with most synagogues destroyed and families decimated. Warsaw, before the war, had several hundred thousand Jews-after the war, there were only 5000 survivors! Jewish culture and a way of life in Europe was forever affected by the holocaust!
Why were the Jews being persecuted in the Holocaust?
Well the German were facing political and economic troubles. Hitler blamed Jewish people for these problems. So Hitler convince the people that by persecuting the Jewish people this would fix there problem.
I just learned it in school just so you know I am not making it up LOL =D
What did a Jewish ghetto look like?
The only architecturally intact ghetto in Europe is in Venice. It covers two islands, and when Jews were forced by law to live in the ghetto it was crowded and somewhat run down. The inhabitants built upwards from about 1630 onwards in order to make the best possible use of limited space. Ironically, the Venice ghetto has become a rather upmarket residential area in the last 30 years or so.
Were the residents of Auschwitz responsible for the Holocaust?
