Holocaust

The first formal act of discrimination by the Nazis was a ban on the employment of most Jews in the public sector (April 1933). This included the dismissal of Jews already in the public sector, and this included schools and universities.

However, in March 1933 the police had already ceased to protect Jews from being beaten up by stormtroopers.

they turned to prisoners for the nazis

BECAUSE Jews, roma, gypsies and handicapped were seen as a serios biological threat to the purity of the German race. so they had to be "exterminated"...*cough* 'killed' *cough* the Nazis also blamed the Jews for Germany's defeat in world war I. communists, socialists, Jehovah's witnesses, homosexuals, and freemasons were killed and mistreted because

In many countries people grew up believing that their own nation was superior to others, but it's something that was simply assumed and not based on an ideology. There was also the widely held view in Germany that the Germans were the true custodians of education, science and scholarship and that other peoples hardly understood these things. Joncey

because all different culture have different background and values that we need to respect

i dont f***ing know

1. The Holocaust took place almost entirely in Europe. (A handful of Jews in Algeria were handed over to the Nazis by the Vichy French, however).
2. Religious and racial antisemitism originated in Europe but also became widespread in the Americas.

The word means, Crystal Night, which refers to all the shattered glass which was caused by the damage the Nazis caused to Jewish buildings, shops etc.

!!

That were subhuman and they were after world dominance.

Yes, some people survived concentration camps. They are known as Holocaust Survivors. Some are even alive today, such as Elie Wiesel, a Nobel Peace Prize Winner and author of his memoir Night.

In a concentration camp, people are forced to work against their own will. The main purpose for most concentration camps was to place a large chunk of people in a confined area, just to get them out of the general population.

Zyklon B was the poison used in the Auschwitz gas chambers.

Both Finland and Denmark - Finland saved all but 8 Jews because it bordered Sweden, a neutral country, and people were just able to walk over. Denmark was second best, saving 150 Jews (98.5%).

It's estimated that 1.6 million people died at Auschwitz.

YES HE IS!!!!!!!! just look it up on google next time or something idk

* Final Solution [of the Jewish question] * Holocaust

Kinder is German for children. These were concentration camps specially for children. Originally, a child had to be at least 12 to be sent to such a camp, but the minimum age was repeatedly lowered. The older girls were expected to look after the really young children. However, there was insufficient food and many starved to death.

During the 1930s, the Nazis had Jews ejected from universities, and orchestrated boycotts against Jewish businesses.
Later (1938), they instigated Kristallnacht, and hundreds of synagogues were trashed.
In 1939, they invaded Poland; and later they conquered all of Europe. They herded the Jews into ghettos, pressed some into forced labor, and killed tens of thousands of others.
In the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union (1941), army units (Einsatzgruppen) were tasked with killing the local Jews, and hundreds of Jewish villages were wiped out.
On January 20, 1942, at the Wannsee conference, the Nazi leaders adopted the official policy of killing all of Europe's Jews, wholesale. Hundreds of concentration camps and labor camps were set up, and six million Jews were killed in the brief space of a few years.

She did not run away!

Primo Levi is famous because of his great escape from the concentration camp. Also for writing some of his amazing books. He also wrote a story about his life in the camp. The camp was called Aushcwitz.

The early ways of killing people in the Holocaust was mass executions, executions taken place in the forest, digging mass graves and getting shot falling into it, "hunting" for the undesirables, into ghettos, starving, mobile gas trucks, diseases, working as slave laborers on insufficient rations, etc. Then more efficient ways were created and then built.

Whippings, often very severe, were common in all concentration camps.
