Holocaust

To be honest.......They don't, in a poll done in 2003 many German people beilive that their life was inproved by Nazi's, you could say Nazi's were the Miliey Cyreses of Gremany. If you still have more questions please contact me on xbox live at Playdough my name is John Forbes.

The numbers are estimates based on statements made by (1) those who ran the camps and (2) other evidence, where available. The number of Jews killed was determined as about six million by the Nuremberg Tribunal in 1946. Actually, the Germans kept very good records. They wanted to document their success in 'improving' the human race to the world. During the fall of the Third Reich, many of the records were destroyed to prevent them from serving as evidence in the trials. Nazis did not keep correct records and Jews had numbers tattooed on them. Some of the names were hard to pronounce or write so often the German Officer would put down a short form. One of my girlfriend's father was a reporter (Jewish) and landed up in the concentration camp. His last name was King-Whittick and it's obvious his name would have been shortened to "King." They never did find his body and it is impossible to determine exactly how many Jews perished. It was not only the Jews, but Gypsies and any other person (even German) who went against Hitler and the Third Reich.

From 1933 to 1939 the Nazi's made an effort to make Germany self sufficient to fight a war for 4 years.

Cyanide gas.

Isn't that just horrible though! The thought of the Holocaust just gives me chills. What kind of planet is this? It's impossible for anybody to be so evil... I hate Hitler and i hope he is rotting in h*ll

They were mainly treated as the same as the Jews were treated.

The Berlin Jews were deported to various places, starting in October 1941: * Riga, which became a killing field. * Theresienstadt (then later on to Auschwitz). * Some were dumped in the already crowded Warsaw Ghetto. * Auschwitz.

I wasnt there when it happened, I was born in 1971 but I can tell you what little I have learned myself. Very few Jewish children went into hiding during the persecution because no one wanted to take them in, children were more likely to make a noise than adults, if a chilld cried or screamed all of a sudden it would give their hider and protector away and their lives would have been at risk too. Anyone caught hiding or protecting Jews would be sent to the labour camps and treated the same as a Jew being persecuted. For every Jewish person in hiding there was often a non Jewish person looking after them to fetch food and look after basic necesseties.

One such child in hiding is the famous Anne Frank who wrote in great detail what it was like to be growing up and going through puberty in hiding. Not only is her diary an endearing account of what it was like for a young Jewish girl to grow up being deprived of all the things that she should have been doing but its also a revealing account of what it was like for some in hiding, the fact that they could not go out in the fresh air for many, many months and the fact that they had to keep very very quiet.

Two children that I know of who were given shelter from persecution and almost certain death were written about in the book, "Claras war" by Clara Kramer. She was in hiding in Poland for eighteen months and unlike Anne Frank who died of typhoid in Bergen Belsen (I think it was bergen Belsen camp) Clara survived by extraodinary circumstance, Clara and seventeen other Jews (including two children who I think were very young) were hidden in an under ground bunker underneath a mans house. Mr Beck put his own life and his families life at risk by hiding 18 Jews underneath his house, this was just a big hole scraped by their own hands and other hand made tools, there was enough room to eat, sleep and cook in but not enough head room to stand. Mr Becks's wife would knock on their hatch door (a clever door concealed in the wooden parquet flooring) and hand down some food, their toilet was a bucket in the corner. by the end of the eighteen months though, none of them could walk or barely stand and they were severely mal nourished.)what helped in their survival was the fact that Mr Becks had numerous nightly visitors including the SS, at one stage the men who drove the trains to the camps were staying there, this helped in their survival as the SS men could witness the fact that Mr Becks wasnt hiding anyone. also Mr becks was a renowned anti-semite so people wouldn't have believed that he was capable of doing such a kind thing. This book is titled, "Claras war" by Clara Kramer and is really quite an extraordinary tale.

Another book I have read of a child who survived the war was titled "surviving with wolves" by Misha Defonseca it has been a while since i read it so i cant remember what country she was in, but this little girl of six survived by walking accross the country on her own living in the woods and stealing food, she became desperately starved of companionship and affection until she came accross a pack of wolves that she started to sleep with, this young grl recognised that her survival owed to the fact that she was so young and on her own, it was when families that were together when it became impossble to become invisible, a six year old girl trecking through the woods however would be easy to dismiss. She was acutely aware of her own survival and threat of death and danger especially when she travelled through towns and saw other children in hiding. These children didnt last long, often hunger would draw them out. In one incident Mish recalls how lots of children were in hiding, in a sewer underground. The SS drew them out by placing chunks of bread near to the sewer and on the road, The SS knew that hunger would draw the children out eventually.

these books you will be amazed by their stories they are;

"Diary of Anne Frank"

"CLara's War" by Clara Kramer

"surviving with wolves" By Misha Defonseca

There is also the story of Corrie ten Boom who lived (I think) in Amsterdam and had a special room made by the dutch resistance to hide Jews in. This room was cleverly concealed and was designed by an architect. The Gestapo had become good at finding hiding places, they had seen it all- hollow sounding walls; they knew how to find a false floor and room by their expertise, but Corrie ten Booms little hiding place was very cleverly concealed and impossible to spot, It was only small but hid (I think) up to six people for six days when the Germans went on one of their killing sprees, massacring Jews inthe streets and rounding everyone up. Not many escaped. Clara Kramer spoke in her book about ho in her home land there was 50,000 Jewsih people. After the war she discovered only 50 had survived. some of those had been in hiding and possibly onlya small handfull of those were children.

Corrie Ten Boom has written several books including one called the hding place, she also traveled the word speaking out against racial intolerance throughout her life- being famous for the wisdom and eloquence of her words.

Lastly,I remember also reading this book "Five chimneys" A Jewish woman was being transported in a cattle truck to the concentration camp, as she had heard about these transportations she had hidden a hack saw in her shoe, She had a toddler child with her, she hacked an escape route through one of the bars and planned to jump out, she made one of the other Jews in the trucks promise her that they would throw the girl out after her, she could not bear to do it her self incase she didnt survive the jump- if the baby had been thrown out of the truck without anyone to care for her she wouldn't have survived. So she jumped out first and the girl was thrown out after. Lots of people did jump from these cattle trucks but ended up with broken limbs and being dependant on being found by someone who would help them, many were handed over to the Gestapo for a reward, some peeple handed over "jumpers" as a means of a regular income. The woman made it to a farmhouse and a farmer agreed to look after the little girl only. The little girl had blond hair and could have easily passed for a little arian child. Unfortunately, even though both mother and child survived the war, the baby had severe head injuries through the jump and lost all memory of time before the jump. she grew up with someone else for a mother and consequently didnt have a bond with her real mother but at least they both survived and the mother managed to save her daughters life, which wasnt the case for nine million other Jews.

They had to wear the Star of David when outside their homes after a number of decrees in 1941. There were other markers that Jews were required to use before the Yellow Star became the prominent and singular identifying mark of Jews in te Third Reich.

Of the 937 passengers on board, only 30 were allowed to land. Of these, 22 were refugees from Nazi Germany and the other 8 were not. That left 907 desperate refugees on board.

fascist The term Nazi is a contraction of the name of Hitler's political party: National Socialist.

Hitler decided to kill Jewish children so Jewish won't exist any more

He didn't, the Holocaust was not instigated by Hitler. It was without a doubt done in his name, but his personal involvement was minimal.

________

The above is rather off topic and highly misleading, though it is true that Hitler was not involved in the detailed planning. The driving force behind Nazi antisemitism was Hitler's own frenzied, obsessive and fanatical antisemitism. From the start of World War 2 he was, increasingly, gripped by the bizarre notion that "the Jews" had plunged Germany into war. In reality, he himself had started World War 2 in Europe.

____________

Now, to answer the question. Systematic mass killings of Jews began in June 1941. However, some Jews had been killed much earlier by the Nazis, starting on a relatively small scale in 1933.

yes, they made felt from it, which was used for uniforms and various cold weather clothes, the methods have been somewhat refined with many types of clothes made from human hair currently available

About two-thirds of the Jews in Europe were killed, which is equivalent to about one third worldwide.

Nazis came in and gathered Jews and put the yellow star of David.

they were found ans killed or sent off to concentration camps.

at the camps they were killed at arrival, or worked to death.

when they were shipped they were handled with no care some also did not make through shipping

Many people were placed into gas chambers and pasted away

- the Nazis made Jews do much of the organising themselves.

- most of the victims of the camps were cremated.

- the Holocaust did not follow a pre-determined plan, but was a constantly evolving event.

- many things that were true about the Holocaust at the start were not true at the end, leading to many generalizations being untrue.

- the Nazis would try to profit from the Jews as much as possible, using everything that they could, including gold from their teeth and hair from the women.

- there were many people and many nations that looked on and did nothing during the Holocaust.

- not a single person was punished by the Nazis for not carrying out orders with regards to the Holocaust.

Answer this question…

sentencing high-ranking Nazi officials to death and imprisonment

It was called the General Government. The German half of Poland was split into three parts, one for the Poles, one for the Germans (see Lebensraum) and one for the Jews.

Unfortunately though it looked possible on paper, the Poles did not want to move out of General Government and the numbers of Jews that were moved into it became unsustainable. This led to the governor (Hans Frank) suggesting to Berlin that it would be more humane to kill the Jews than let them starve to death, one of the major factors that started the Holocaust.

AUSCHWITZ The Auschwitz (Auschwitz-Birkenau) death camp was the site of the most killings of European Jews during the Holocaust. In 1941, 850 ill and malnourished Jews were killed in an experimental gassing there, and after its success, the Nazis started using this method as a daily routine. An estimated three million people were killed at Auschwitz through gassing, starvation, shooting, burning, and other methods. 9 out of 10 prisoners were Jews, but there were also large numbers of Soviet and other nations' POW's, gypsies, homosexuals, and others sent there. According to sources, Adolf Hitler personally ordered the mass executions at Auschwitz while visiting there once in 1940. Children were brought to the camp as well, but usually they didn't stay long. They were often killed as soon as they arrived, and chil

Unfortunately there are many people who wish to kill not only Jews but also anyone who disagrees with their way of thinking.(not a full answer)

White Neo Nazis treat anyone who is not white as dirt and probably thinking about killing them in there sleep.

I cannot think of one nation that is out to kill the Jews within its own nation.

But you could easily say countries in the middle east would like to see Israel off the map but I am not particularly sure if that means all Jews to. Either way there both here to stay

(not a full answer)

All the things that the Jews had was given up when they went into the Geto and then to camps. Most of all of it got turned into money for the war. Mostly like pictures and paper doc. where burned. But all the gold and silver from like wedding rings, tooth fillings, or just dishes were used and turned into money for the war.

Property likes houses were often handed over to prominent Nazis.

because they were all dark haired and had dark eye colours ( they didn't fit in with his race bloned haired blue eyed ) and they were successful buisness men and he thought they were the reason for losing the first war

The question seems to suggest that there are two versions - a victims' version and some 'official' Nazi version.

The Nazis did not talk about the Holocaust in public. They said the Jews were being 'resettled' in Eastern Europe.

Since the 1960s Neo-Nazis have produced their own story, which is Holocaust denial.

That they were purely for the experimentation of the health of the German people and that the eople were doing it willingly
