Holocaust

The Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme commemorated the Holocaust on November 15 in 2010 because the anniversary of the Kristallnacht was only a few days earlier on November 9 and 10, 1938. This was an anti-Jew riot that left around 100 Jews killed and thousands of their businesses vandalized.

It was mainly Hitler's hatred for the Jews and the massive Nazi propaganda that was set out. Also, Hitler was angry that Jewish people got top jobs etc. For example, he wanted to be an artist, and his Jewish art mentor told him he couldn't paint. He had a Jewish officer during WWI, whom he didn't like.

If you count the fact that they changed their immigration policy for Jews to make it harder for them to escape the Nazis, then you could say that they got involved very quickly.

No, the US immigration laws were tightened during the early 1920s.

No, in the mid-1930';s though the quotas for German emigration stayed the same as those introduced in 1927 (if memory serves), it became harder for Jews to fill those places as people could no longer apply in person at an embassy. The US wanted to keep a tighter reign on where an when visas were granted, before by issuing them from the embassy there was a fair amount of 'lag' and it was unsure whether an applicant was using the previous or the next years visa, so the system became more centralized and the criteria for being granted a visa harsher. It has been many years since i studied US immigration policy, but as i remember, this is accurate.

Hitler developed his twisted theories early on,and solidified them in "Mein Kampf" written largely when he was in prison. At the bottom line, his theory was: "All of the world's miseries from before World War I until now are caused by" (what he called) "International Jewry". This automatically made all Jews "enemies of the Reich".

It ended in 1917, but there were further massacres of Armenians by the Turks in 1922.

The reason why Hitler and Nazis hated Jewish people is for many reasons. One is becuase of their color of their skin. Like how it went the rasicm in America and black and whites. The whites hated blacks and thought they were nothing. Not people. Same thing with Jewish and Nazis. The Nazis used Jews as slaves even.

i doubt that he thought that far, they were created to deal with an existing crisis, no ultimate purpose was considered.

No, Margot Frank and Anne Frank were both deported to the Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp. After Edith Frank had been in detainment in the Gestapo headquarters on the Euterpestraat and then on 3 September 1944, the last train to be dispatched from Westbork to Auschwitz.

It all depended on what type of concentration camp they were assigned to. Some were work camps, so both the women and children would have been forced to work very long hours, with harsh treatment. However, some of these camps were death camps, which meant if a woman or child was sent there, they would be killed.

The term was used by the Nazis as a euphemism or 'cover word' for the attempt to exterminate the European Jews.

The Nazis had made various attempts at interim solutions, such as setting up a 'Jewish reservation' in occupied Poland.

Germany was a mess after World War 1, so Hitler used this to unite the people against a "common enemy", the Jews. Why the Holocaust was so effective? most people didn't even know about it. They were told they were simply rounding the Jews up and sending them to prison camps, however, the typical German citizen would of figured these prison camps to be just like they sound, not death camps, so of course they took up arms to help. Propaganda is a dangerous weapon my friend.

In the concentration camps, Jews and everyone else marched around the camps.

According to research reports, Nazis actually set up 20 000 concentration camps.

There were several trials for war crimes and crimes against humanity after World War 2. The best known is the Nuremberg Tribunal (1946). - Please see related question. In addition there were several people directly involved in the holocaust were tried elsewhere. One of the first was the Bergen-Belsen Trial (September-November, 1945) held in Lüneburg. Forty-five concentration camps guards and the commandant were tried and 12 were sentenced to death and hanged. Other noteworthy trials include the Dachau Trial. There were also trials in Poland of some of the Auschwitz and Stutthof guards. In addition, Rudolf Hoess (not to be confused with Rudolf Hess), who had been Commandant of Auschwitz from 1940-43 was tried in Warsaw and hanged at Auschwitz in April 1947. Some of the worst criminals escaped to Latin America, where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil gave them asylum.

Evverything. Almost every GI who was in France or North Africa will tell a story about riding in the "40 & 8" train cars. This referred to the label painted on the side of the car that said "40 hommes et 8 chevaux" which meant it could either carry 40 Men or 8 Horses. German Cattle Cars were used by the Germans to transport prisoners to death camps.

Adolf Hitler had a long standing prejudice with the Jewish people. Beginning with his life in Vienna, which was a hot spot for Jewish prejudice. What's interesting to note is that for a good part of his early life in Vienna he worked with Jewish people, and was even good friends with several.

To answer this question you have to look at a lot of different factors. First of all Hitler did not want to be drafted for the first World War while he was in Austria, so he fled to Munich, Germany. The Austrian government tracked him down and told him that if he didn't serve they would fine him and throw him in jail. The funny thing was that when he reported for his service he was deemed to frail, and small to be of any use; unfit for battle.

Hitler did eventually serve in WWI, with the distinction of having almost lost his life on several occasions. At this point in his life he was beginning to see Jews as, quite literally, the root of all evil. Most notably beginning when Jewish soldiers temporarily blinded him with Mustard Gas in battle. He was sent to the German Worker's Party, initially as a spy. The party's radical ideals mirrored Hitler's. He quickly moved up the ranks of the party, creating the Nazis, or the "brown shirts" (the main part of Nazi Germany's force). He ran to become leader of Germany against Hindenburg, he made a deal with Hindenburg: in exchange for his political support he would be made Chancellor.

He succeeded Hindenburg upon his death in 1934. He then moved to recreate the economy, re-militarize the German state (beginning with the armament of the citizen), once his armies were rebuilt from the ground up he began his persecution. At first beginning by closing Jewish shops, running them out of their homes, and general small scale hate-crimes. Eventually this gained momentum and turned into the tragedy of the Holocaust.

Little man means ordinary person here.

during world war 2 most major countries were effected. during the holocaust people of Jewish heritage were affected. also prisoners of war were taken and given similar treatment to those of whom were Jewish or of Jewish heritage.

There was no 'league table'.

In the Medieval period, the Church reinterpreted the Biblical prohibition against charging interest, and placed a complete ban on usury. The Talmud, by contrast, permits a system by which loans may be converted into investments, so interest could be payed. Under the Christian interpretation, no credit market could exist. The way the Church got around that was by compelling the Jews to become the bankers. However, they called them "Jewish moneylenders," which is a much more pejorative term.

It has a continental climate with cold winters and hot summers.
