Holocaust

The Holocaust occurred in phases because that is simply how it unfolded. It was a process which evolved over time, and was not predetermined.

If the Final Solution (decision to systematically exterminate Jews via death camps) had been made before the other stages, prominent figures in the Nazi regime may not have been as quick to accept it.

He painted pictures of people's houses. The allies used this as Propaganda, calling him a house painter, and naturally the public thought of painter and decorator. Not that being a decorator is bad, but it's not the occupation of a world leader/statesman so it minimized him in the public mind.

The holocaust was the mass murderig of mainly jews but also people like disabled people or homosexual people, they wre put into consentration camps and starved,beaten and made to work, many people died, some went into the rich peoples houses as slaves and could be beaten when ever. The holocaust was lead by Hitler in the 2nd world war there are still survivors of the holocaust today, eg. I know the first soldier who went into Auschwitz as the holocaust ended to help get people out. The holocaust was horrible. You can find out more by just googleing the holocaust hope this helped :)

No. Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, and it was never ruled by Nazi Germany.

How Auschwitz operated was it was in two camps. And in that one was working digging holes and other hard labor. Then the other was a death camp.

Born on 16 March 1911 in Günzburg, Germany 1937 - Mengele is appointed to the research staff of the newly founded Institute for Third Reich Hereditary, Biology and Racial Purity at the University of Frankfurt 1943 - In May SS head Heinrich Himmler appoints Mengele as a doctor at Birkenau, the supplementary extermination camp at Auschwitz in southern Poland, 60 km west of Krakow

The importance of the Star of David during the Holocaust was that it was used in the Concentration Camps, Ghettos and around Nazi controlled areas to identify certin groups of people. Hitler and the Nazis used the Star on David who they thought either were threat to the Nazi reigm or people who they think that weren't "pure". These were used on people who were prosecuted by the Nazis suchas: Jews, Gypsies Romas, Poles, POWs, Homosexuals, Criminals, mentally ill, disabled and Political prisoners.

The Star of David was used exclusively by Jewish residents. The Nazis forced them to wear it for identification. Each group of "undesirables" was given a different symbol to wear. They were called Badges of Shame. For instance, Jews wore a yellow Star of David, homosexuals wore a pink triangle, poltical prisoners red triangle, career criminals wore a green triangle, purple for Jehovah's Witness, brown for Roma and black was reserved for the unfit/disabled etc.

The methods of torture and murder of the Jews are gruesome. They shot them, hung them, beat them to death, gassed them, starved them, froze them by not giving them adequate clothing or bedding or heat, dehydrated them, burned them, and did horrendous medical experiments on them and others that often caused their death. There is a lot more but I won't write it here. They worked many to death in the labor camps too.

Even though they survived the Nazi Death Machine, it would continue to get worse. They would return to their homes and families, without realizing both would in most cases be gone. Some would starve to death or just waste away after the horrors they had witnessed , but some had friends or family left and would try to make the best out of their predicament.

In many cases what the survivors had to endure after the Holocaust was worse. In the camps they knew that they had no hope, they just tried to live until the next day, upon liberation they were full of hope, but they found that they could not return home, in the east under communism their property had been reasigned to someone else, in most areas antisemitism had not suddenly stopped just because the government had changed. Communites were often ashamed of what they had done, but blamed the Jews for making them do it, and they did not want the Jews around to remind them. But in other places like some towns in Hungary and Greece gentile friends had protected Jewish property and businesses and there was a peaceful return.

Just prior to the end of the war, many officers in work/death camps abandoned the populations, and locked them in. Many of the people inside were suffering from exposure, naked, starved, and unable to even process food. Their bodies were literally reduced to skeletons, many unable to walk. The look in their eyes can be described as beyond suffering. Many survivors still have the numbers on their arms, tattooed. For them, the holocaust, or Shoach, never ended, because the people who died still aren't alive, and many people of the world still want to see Jews exterminated.

It depends on where they were living and how religious they were.

At the worst end of the scale, Jews on the run from the Nazis could often not even count on any food in a given day and might be lucky to find something to eat in the wilderness every few days. Jews in Labor Camps would be fed roughly 230 calories a day (which is less than two Sausalito cookies). Jews in the Ghettos were not much better off.

On the better end of the scale, Jews in the United States had the same rationing as all other Americans, but were generally able to eat to contentment. There were also kosher butchers in the USA and UK, which allowed the religious community to eat kosher meat, if they were so inclined. However, the majority of the US community was non-religious at the time.

he killed many by burning them. i dont know how many

---------------------------------------------

6 million, obviously he didn't kill them, but they were killed under his leadership.

There were a few people killed by burning, but this was incedental, it was not one of the methods employed.

-----------------------------------------

He killed over 64 millon jews.

Yes he did. He wrote it to share with others what experiences in the holocaust were like. The book was first published in 1958.

Oskar Schindler has an younger sister named Elfriede

The displaced persons in the internment camps went either to their original countries, to live with relatives elsewhere, and many went to other countries like the United States. Some Jews went to Israel.

There is no such thing as "jewish" enemies because although we are a people we all think differently from one another. Jews do not have enemies

Some of the assumptions made in the question are inaccurate. In particular, Christians as such were not 'classified as enemies of the Third Reich'. Some Christians resisted government interference in church life and therefore became unpopular with the regime. A few of these were sent to concentration camps, but very few were killed. SomeChristians also spoke out against various Nazi policies, especially the killing of incurables. Very few Christians spoke out against the persecution and genocide of the Jews, however. Nobody was killed by the Nazis for simply 'being a Christian'. The Nazi treated non-Jewish Poles very badly and oppressively, and the main religion in Poland was (and still is) Roman Catholicism. However, Poles who did not co-operate with the Nazis or who resisted the Nazis were punished and killed for that - not for being Roman Catholic. The Pope at the time, Pius XII, has been severely criticized for failing to denounce Hitler clearly in public. On the other hand two Roman Catholic bishops in Germany spoke out against the Nazi policy of killing off the mentally ill and incurables. At all stages, the Nazi regime was cautious in most of its dealings with churches. In the case of the Jews, and to a lesser extent the gypsies, the Nazis made a point, from about October 1941, of trying to murder all of them - on 'ethnic' ('racial') grounds. The difference is enormous. The Jews were the only group singled out for total systematic annihilation by the Nazis. To escape the death sentence imposed by the Nazis, the Jews could only leave Nazi-controlled Europe. Every single Jew in Europe was to be killed according to the Nazis' plan. In the case of other criminals or enemies of the Third Reich, their families were usually not held accountable. Thus, if a person were executed or sent to a concentration camp, it did not mean that each member of his family would meet the same fate. Moreover, in most situations the Nazis' enemies were classified as such because of their actions or political affiliation (actions and/or opinions which could be revised). In the case of the Jews, it was because of their racial origin, which could never be changed. In the case of the other groups the aim was generally less extreme. Even the genocide of the Roma/Sinti (gypsies) was carried out much less thoroughly.

The Holocaust was an event in which approximately 6 million Jews were killed, along with substantial numbers of other people whom the Nazis disliked (communists, homosexuals, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.).

He created laws in such a way that Jews struggled to live, and work and earn a living. He made the: protection of the Reich- which allowed the opposition to be shot and beaten with out fear of punishment. laws that Jews had to identify themselves with the star of david, he made boycott laws of Jewish business' and shops. He burnt books that were un-German.

The Warsaw Ghetto was run (as other ghettos were,) by councils from the ghetto population. Though the ghetto was free to chose who would be part of these councils, the Germans would liquidate one or all members if they were resistant to German orders. The councils have been the subject of controversy and will always will be as they collaborated with the Germans. The leader of the Warsaw Ghetto killed himself when he realised that he was collaborating, though his successors also had to do the same job, they did not manage to protect the Jewish population as well as he did.

Any decrees or orders and criminal matters within the ghetto were expedited by the ghetto police, made up from the Jewish population, who were also responsible for ensuring that people got on the trains to their execution.

Within the ghetto there was everything available, some richer Jews would still retain servants. Prices however would increase as time went on and people were reduced to selling everything for food. Eventually the only people who could afford to eat in restaurants were the people who ran the black market.

There were many factories that people worked in, both inside and outside of the ghetto, though for poor wages and they were limited as to the number of people that they could employ, the factory owners though would never miss a meal. (the factories sold to the Germans). If a family did not have someone working in a factory then they would very quickly perish.

There was a curfew to deter smuggling, but most guards could be bribed.

The Nazis did not make any exceptions for famous Jews.

Obviously, really famous people like Einstein were better placed to find refuge in countries like the U.S. than ordinary refugees.

Anne Frank never lost faith because she was very optimistic and thought when the war was over she would still be alive

Many were killed. The ones who lived were treated like everyone else, no special treatment.

the children where used as insentives to make the father and mother work. they would separate the families and play cruel games with them.

one woman with 2 children was forced to pick one to be killed and if she didn't pick they would kill both.

Gulags were labour camps in Soviet Russia. You could be sent there for many reasons, peasants were sent there because they opposed collectivisation, which was were the government took their farm and all their possessions.

When people were taken to concentration camps, they were marked by the Nazis with tattoos, placed on the inside of their right arms. The tattoos were numbers, meant to be a form of identification.
