What did Jews wear during WW2?
If you're asking what they were forced to wear, Jews were forced to wear the Star of David, whether as an armband, stitched on clothes, etc. In some instances, children under a certain age did not have to wear them.
How did the liberators help in the Holocaust?
The most urgent task for the armies that liberated camps was to nurse the survivors back to physical health. They were dangerously undernourished - many looked like walking skeletons with skin over their bones. Many was also very sick and many were dying. In most, if not all camps it took several weeks to reduce the death toll. At Bergen-Belsen, for example, many of the inmates were desperately undernourished and suffering from typhus. The British Army appealed for volunteers with first-hand experience of famine relief. At most of the camps the liberators had to bury large piles of corpses, too.
How did german propaganda portray the jews?
It's ironic that the Nazi murderers portrayed the Jews as a nation of murderers. They also portrayed the Jews as subhuman ("untermenschen"), bloodsuckers, parasites, destabilizing plotters, etc., etc.
How likely is another Holocaust?
It is not very likely becauseof modern day communication and technology.
___
I don't see that 'communciations and technology' make another holocaust more or less likely. The genocide in Rwanda in 1994 was carried mainly with the use of machettes, for example (about 800,000 Tutsis were killed in 3 months). The rest of the world didn't want to do know about it - till it was over.
What is the description of Corrie ten Boom in the hiding place?
"The Hiding Place" is the famous autobiography of Corrie Ten Boom who lived through the Nazi occupation of Holland in WWII.
Corrie was part of the Dutch resistance in Haarlem. It tells how the Ten Booms smuggled Jews out into the countryside and abroad. Eventually Corrie and her sister Betsie were caught and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. The sisters became separated but held within the same camp. Betsie could not find herself hating the Germans. Corrie lived with hate and resentment until she learned from Betsie how to place her trust in God's will.
Corrie miraculously survived to tell the tale and help in the post-war reconstruction of Holland and work tirelessly for reconciliation in Europe.
What states had concentration camps during world war 2?
No states in America had concentration camps; they were all located in Europe. The states did have camps for people who were German or Japs to live because people were afraid, but they were not treated poorly.
How and when did Nicholas Winton die?
Nicholas Winton, a humanitarian who saved the lives of over 650 Jewish children during the Holocaust, died on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106. He passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home in Maidenhead, England. His heroic efforts were not widely known until the late 1980s when his wife discovered documents detailing his rescue mission in their attic.
How were the Jews affected by the holocaust?
In many different ways. It depends on the country where they lived, on their environment and its ability and willing to help, on their financial situation and other more. So most probably the situation for a poor, strong religious Jewish family living in Poland and Ukraine without any support from (non Jewish) neighbours was just desperately. In most of these cases they were hunted down by Nazi institutions and sent to camps all over Europe, mostly in the eastern part. Other families (mostly) in the west of Europe sometimes managed to flee early enough and/or buy themselves out (especially in the earlier stage before 1941). And also there are a few cases when entire families were saved by neighbours and whole communities. So as far as I know could a lot of the Jewish community from Denmark survive the war due to the support of their country mates. One case in my own family allowed my (German) uncle to survive the war and the occupation as a small boy being hidden by a Dutch family while his entire family was wiped out in Auschwitz. The devastating effect on his/our family is clear. In a conclusion you can clearly say that none of the Jewish families in the occupied parts of Europe was not effected by the Nazis, nevertheless is the range spread from fleeing and losing all your owning, citizenship, home and often enough hope to the death of the entire family. Most of the survivors are strongly effected by traumata and post-stress symptoms and, of course, hate towards those who were responsible or even connected to those responsible (meaning according to their citizenship). It took and will take even more generations for a lot of families to find back to whatever is perceived as normality.

What was life like living under nazi rule for jewish children?
Most children did not make it through the holocaust.. Due to the fact that they were so young and unable to work and complete heavy intensive labour. Children from 8 and up were able to complete the labour but if they were to slow or got sick in any way than they would kill them. Not many children made it through the holocaust.. But one man names Eli did. He wrote a book on how horrible and tragic life was living under Nazi rules. The book is truly life changing.

How many Germans died as a result of the Holocaust?
I wonder if you are confusing the Holocaust with World War 2? Raul Hilberg estimates the total number of Germans killed in the Holocaust as at most 300.
Where did Hitler get his idea for concentration camps?
There were a few precedents for Nazi concentration camps. The first concentration camps were used by the British in the Boer War, to collect troublesome people in South Africa. And the first great genocide of the 20th century was a mass murder of Armenians committed by Turkey during WW I. Both of these were undoubtedly inspirational to Nazi Germany. The idea of murdering Jews in particular had been popular in Europe for a long time. Everything done by Hitler had already been proposed in detail in the writings of Martin Luther, for example. And mass violence directed against Jews goes back at least as far as the first Crusade in the year 1000.
How many Jews were against the Holocaust?
The exact number of Jews saved in the holocaust is impossible to calculate. It is recorded that in Denmark, 7,220 of its 8,000 Jews were saved by fellow citizens. Thousands in other countries were also saved by friends and neighbors as they were or smuggled into safe countries. Many Jews fled before the worst of the holocaust was upon them, while others pretended to be non-Jewish. The numbers liberated from the infamous death camps by allied forces is also uncertain, but the numbers are in the tens of thousands if not higher.
What was the title given to Heinrich Himmler by the ss?
Heinrich Himmler was the "Reichsführer" (basically "National Leader") of the SS from 1929 to 1945.
The Schutzstaffel ("Protection Staff"), or SS for short, was originally Adolf Hitler's bodyguard staff in the Nazi Party. After Hitler took power in 1933, the SS became the agency in charge of all internal security forces- spy agencies, police, border guards, and so on. As part of this, the SS was in charge of operating the concentration camps and the Einsatzgruppen("Task Forces") death squads, meaning the SS was the primary agency that carried out the Holocaust.
Lastly, the SS also had their own elite army called the Waffen-SS ("Armed-SS"), which fought alongside but separate from the regular German military.
What motivated survivors to live from one day to the next what coping skills did they use?
Suvivors like Elie Wiesel had seen the separation of their familes. That was all too painful, he wanted to be reunited with his mother and his sisters. He saw the death and wanted to survive. He wanted to see them again and he wanted to survive Hitler. Others considered the camps as one of Hilter's games or tricks they wanted to outwit him and survive. They made friends and tried to be with family members in the camps. They looked forward to eating and living.
Did Hitler have help from aliens?
although aliens and Hitler very likely exist Hitler was not likely to be an alien.
The person applying the pesticide to kill thousands at a time or starting the diesel engine to create carbon monoxide poisoning were normally SS staff. They were in charge of the camps.
The Jews with "special tasks" (Sonderkommando) worked with leading people to the gas chambers and collecting the bodies afterwards, prolonging their own life with a few months.
In case of execution with arms, it would have been SS soldiers.
As the officers of the regular army protested before the dirty deeds of executing civilians and POWs, SS had to take over the killings, with Einsatzgruppen that ambulated in field to execute collected people that were condemned to perishing according to the racist ideas or because of political opposition.
In the camps, not a few threw themselves against the electrified fences, to terminate the suffering.
Rudolf Höss was in charge of Auschwitz II for the longest time, and he execute the orders from SS chief Heinrich Himmler, elaborated by Reinhard Heydrich as presented in 1942 ("the final solution"). The person ultimately responsible, who Himmler answered to was Adolf Hitler. But, Hitler and his National Socialist party had been voted with majority into power in 1933, with a strong public support in Germany. In most countries there were lots of people regarding Hitler as a role-model, almost a hero, as racism and the antipathy against revolutionary internationalist communism was strong in many countries, which Hitler had subdued with his nationalist Labour party.
Also in all German occupied territories there were many collaborators, who gladly handed over Jews, with or without reward.
So in fact a large part of humankind is responsible for the crime against humanity committed in the genocide during WWII.
