In what country did Hitler gas the Jews?

Poland is where the camps were, Germany built them and ran them.

How has hydroelectricity affected the lives of people who use it?

the water floods over and kills the plants and forces humans and animals to move

What is a biblical term for a non Jewish person?

To speakers of Hebrew and Yiddish, non-Jews are referred to politely as "Goyim".

The word is Hebrew, and means "nations". Since the People of Israel are one nation, it would follow that any non-Jew would be of the "Other Nations".

To speakers of English, non-Jews are referred to as "non-Jews" or "Gentiles".

The word is English, and means "those who are not Jews".

Did the concentration camps accomplish all of Hitler's goals?

No, it obviously didn't. The whole idea failed because whenever he got on the streets, Jews secretly came out and threw garbage and other stuff at him and yelling obscene/racist words to him and the Nazis, causing him to turn emo and change his hair to the little...erm...strip of black tar on his head and below his nose. he then went suicidal due to large amounts of secretly cutting himself (observed by German doctors before his burial), self-poisoning and overdose of medication.

Also, the Jews were bullying all the Nazis, and this is one reason why Hitler tried killing them.

Did the Germans hate the Jews before Hitler's influence?

The great majority of German Jews were well integrated into German society and were widely respected, except by Jew baiters. They were '100% German' and made a huge contribution to the science, scholarship, the arts and literature in Germany. Obviously, those who had settled in Germany relatively recently (say, since about 1900) were less integrated.

How many people lived the holocaust?

how many people were interferred in aUSCHWITZ IN WW1

Did America save the Jews from Hitler?

Yes,

If the US army had never intervened, the Jews and all of us would be in slavery.

___

No. The Allies did not fight World War 2 in order to save Jews - and the war wasn't won by America alone. Please get real.

That was a by-product of the Allied victory over Germany. During World War 2, the Allies did not do anything specifically aimed at saving Jews.

Why did the Nazis use Jewish gravestones to pave the road to the labor camp?

They needed to clear the graveyard to build the camp (although there are still three or four stones still standing). It was a way to recycle the material.

Who was not targeted in the holocaust?

Originally only Jews were targeted for extermination, they would be joined by gypsies.

The disabled were also targeted for extermination, but this was before the Holocaust and was the inspiriation for many of the extermination camps of the Holocaust.

Other groups who were persecuted by the Nazis like Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, tarde unionists, clergy and many more, were not targeted for extermination, but were held in concentration camps.

When did the persecution of the Jews end?

Sadly they have never ended.

While the main Roman persecutions stopped in the fourth century after the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian himself, persecutions of Christians have never ceased

Throughout history Christians have been persecuted for their faith. Even today there are many countries - especially the more fundamental Islamic countries and some of the totalitarian communist states like China and North Korea where Christianity is illegal. In some, merely the possession of a bible is a capital offence.

It is also a statistical fact that more Christians have been martyred for their beliefs during the past 150 years than throughot the previous 1850 years.

New Insert,

While this answer is correct, I think the question refers to the early persecutions that were on and off from the time of Jesus Death till the time of Emperor Constantine. The Persecution were put to an end when Emperor Constantine and Licinius signed the Edict of Milan in 313 A.D.

Who created the Nuremberg laws and why?

Hitler would have been the prime architect of the Nuremberg laws however he would have been advised by a number of people regarding the language of the laws.

The NSDAP formed these laws to take away many of the freedoms and liberties that Jews held in Germany prior to these laws.

How many people died in the Holocaust in holland?

Not many Jews were killed within the borders of the Netherlands, but around 110,000 Dutch Jews were Killed during the Holocaust. Most of them were sent to Concentration Camps in Poland and Germany.

Were the Jews a minority in Germany?

Yes, they were a minority. In 1933 Germany had a population of about 61 million, of whom about 525,000 were Jews in the sense of being adherents of the Jewish religion. There were, perhaps, a further 250,000-300,000 'half Jews' and 'quarter Jews'.

How did adolf hitler eliminate people?

Hitler pushed through the Nuremberg Laws that took away all citizen rights of Jews. Using Stormtrooper terrorism, he was able to get the Reichstag to pass the Enabling Act that allowed him to do whatever he wanted to do without Reichstag approval. Once this was done, his persecution of the Jews picked up speed and Stormtroopers began obstructing customers from going into Jewish businesses.

What is the Holocaust when did it happen?

The Holocaust was a period of time from 1933 to 1945. It was the extermination of gypsies, homosexuals, Jews, communists, and other groups. Adolf Hitler was the leader of it all, and committed suicide in 1945.

Did Hitler think Jews were a threat?

The fact that he left sending them to concentration camps till last may indicate that at some level he knew that they were harmless.

Which Nazi concentration camps were outside Germany?

Is there going to be another Holocaust?

During the war in Bosnia there were camps where Albanian men and women were separated and all of them starved. The women were raped daily by 30 soldiers. When they were too far gone in their pregnancies they were let out. A sure way to kill a society and when this became known, that they had used rapes as a weapon, it was finally declared a warcrime in the war tribunal in Haag. So in a way it have already happened because the world didn't go in. Men from a camp testified that they had managed to put a radio together and hear the president deny there was a camp there.

How were Jews killed during the Final Solution?

Treblinka was almost entirely a death camp for Jews. They were usually gassed on or very shortly after arrival. About 800,000 Jews were slaughtered there. (There was also a small penal camp by the main camp).
