Holocaust

Yes. Adolf Hitler was indeed a racist. He is pretty much the poster-boy for racism. He believed strongly in eugenics and that the Aryan race was the master race. In the death camps he murdered Jews, gypsies, people with mental and/or physical disabilities, homosexuals, and African Muslims. He also ordered public executions to many people, mainly children who were disobedient to the Nazi workers. In conclusion, the answer is yes, Hitler was a big racist.

1. When we killed of over half of the Indians in the central United States

   for example, the"the trail of tears".

2. The Ottoman Turkish slaughter of the Armenians in 1915-17 (in World War 1)/

Jewish ghettos originated long ago, as early as the 1400's. Generally, Europeans were Christian and anti-Semitic, so the Jews lived in their own communities/ghettos as a result of discrimination and for their safety. During World War II, the Nazis took the Jews from their homes and placed them in ghettos, the most famous of which being the Warsaw ghetto, in Poland. The Jews were told to appoint leaders of the community. Many leaders of the various ghettos refused to give Nazis lists when they learned these lists were being used to send Jews to death camps. While living in ghettos, the Jews were isolated and often had limited resources (though items were smuggled).

No. The city successfully withstood the longest siege in modern history, from 1941-44. Obviously, conditions in the city were horrific.

Probably because they werent of the Aryan race or German.

It is a myth that Hitler just tried to kill the Jews he tried to destroy all forms of what he felt were undesriable people disabled Gypsy gay criminal and unfortunatley he didnt like anybody from Eastern Europe either and therefore the Romani were destroyed

It may have also been because many Romani were Gypsies. Gypsies were widely hated during this time period by an assortment of races, Germans included.

She received the notice on July 5th, 1942 and went into hiding the next day.

an example of scape goating is when people dont have nothing to do but bother and blame people for stuff they did

The experiments were done with the hope of creating a master race. The experiments were an effort to "weed out" what Hitler and his followers deemed to be imperfections in the human race such as mental disabilities, physical handicaps, and being a race other than caucasian.

The Angel of Death. He was called this because he brought death and fear with him wherever he went.

The pope at the time of Nazi Germany was a known National Socialist sympathizer. ___ The main criticism usually made of Pope Pius XII in connection with the Holocaust was that he did not publicly condemn the Holocaust.

In the camps run by the Germans, yes. Old people and young children were generally murdered right away. Anybody of an age to work survived the initial sorting. The SS had made precise calculations, down to the last pfennig, how much could be gleaned from working these people to death on a starvation diet, which took an average of nine months, according to German records. Attractive young women might be forced to work in brothels maintained for the comfort of camp personnel (including collaborationist Jews who acted as "truties" , called "Capos") and the German military. After about six weeks these young women were used up by the continuous service, and were sent on to the gas chambers. This policy insured that no mixed Jewish-"Aryan" children could be born. (In civilian life it was a crime for an Aryan to have sex with a Jew). There was absolutely no mercy shown on account of age, either young or old, or gender. The Nazis were very concerned of the effect this iron policy might have on their personnel.

Adolf Hitler supposedly shot himself. He feared capture after World War II and quickly married his wife Eva Braun. Eva killed herself before Hitler by biting into a cyanide capsule.

The Axis History Forum gives the figure as 77,000. (This does not include Jews transported to Latvia from other countries and killed there. Latvia was used as a killing-field for Jews from other countries, especially Germany).

== == France was deeply divided between Left and Right in the 1930s. Politically organized anti-semitism was strong in France ... Britain accepted just over 71,000 refugees - which wasn't many in view of the magnitude of the problem. Compare with Australia, with a much smaller population: it accepted over 50,000 refugees from Nazi Germany before the start of World War 2. However, New Zealand accepted hardly any. Clearly, anti-semitism and the Great Depression combined to make the situation very difficult for Jews trying to leave Nazi Germany. ____

Antisemitism was not just a view of the Nazis. Antisemitism was common throughout the world. However, the rest of the world did not go extremes. Other countries did not want the Jewish people to be concentrated in their country for the same reason the Nazis wanted them out of Germany, they did not like them. * Unemployment * Fear of foreigners * Antisemitism * Failure to grasp the seriousness of the situation (until very late in 1938)

A pogrom or series of coordinated attacks against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and parts of Austria on 9-10 November 1938, carried out by SA stormtroopers and civilians. German authorities looked on without intervening. The attacks left the streets covered with broken glass from the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues.

It is all too easy for those who supported,colluded with or turned a blind eye to Nazism to say "it was all the fault of the government".Many German people allowed themselves to become moral failures.That uncomfortable reality was kept at bay by use of such mental gymnastics as "we didn't know about the Holocaust "we were only following orders" .Children choked in gas chambers as a result of this moral failure..old people were ritually and sexually humiliated because of this moral failure.Face it..if you supported Nazism then you became a debased and inhuman failure..and you should feel all the shame that is due ..you were responsible.

Initially it was Sir Neville Chamberlain, who declared war on Germany on 3rd September 1939 following Hitler's invasion of Poland in breach of the Munich Agreement. Chamberlain sent a massive British Expeditionary Force into France to help the French defend their country against Nazi invasion, but was forced to resign in February 1940 following the disastrous British retreat from Dunkirk.

He was replaced by Winston Churchill, who headed a Coalition Government until the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. Soon afterwards a General Election was called, which saw Churchill replaced by the Labour government of Clement Attlee. It was Attlee who was in power when the war against Japan ended, in August '45.

There were camps to concentrate people on both sides during WWII, in German and Japanese controlled areas, as well as in Soviet Union, North America and United Kingdom.

While the Nazi concentration camps not only included prisoners of war and delinquents, they also were used to have civilians for slave labour or extermination, mainly Jews, Poles and other ethnic groups, political dissidents and handicapped people etc.

The hundreds of UK camps were probably amongst the best regarding to the Genève convention and other international laws, with a high survival rate, much better than Soviet. The camps weren't generally used for political prisoners.

The USA, by contrast, interned lots of Japanese born people in concentration camps, which was much debated as unconstitutional.

Note: the British invented the term "concentration camp" for keeping African people detained, but the Germans adopted it from 1933 and made the most use of the word. The Allies preferred to talk about camps for POW, but there was slave labour in many of them, and complaints about bad treatment of the detainees.

Auschwitz and Dachau have been preserved as museums. Some parts of Buchenwald are still standing and are a memorial site.
