Holocaust

Adolf Hitler. (The grotesque little man given to screaming and shouting in public, toothbrush moustache, very dark hair ...).

The nazis used jews and poles and homosexuals and disabled people as scapegoats because they considered these group of people unfit to be on the face of earth and viewed them as weakening the gene pool of the Germans.

The most important signal for many Jews was the 'Night of Broken Glass' (Kristallnacht) of 9-10 November 1938, when Jews and Jewish businesses were attacked in a government-sponsored outburst of anti-Jewish violence. About 30,000 Jews were seized and sent to concentration camps. (This outburst followed the assassination in Paris of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a Polish Jew resident in Germany. His parents had been dumped on the German-Polish border).

There were many signs. Laws were passed denying Jews citizenship, forbidding them to marry non-Jewish Germans, etc. For those Jews employed in the public sector, it was their dismissal in April 1933.

Unfortunately, because of the amount of people who wanted *out* of Germany, many countries were stiffening their immigration policies, so it was often hard for them to find a place to go.

Gas chambers, testing (on twins), starvation,shooting,disease (caused the death of many but not directly caused by the nazis) and stabbing (infants) were some

presumably you are referring to the Death Marches.

Anti-Semitism has affected our history in the propaganda, relocations, expulsions, and genocides perpetrated against the Jews. The most notable of these acts of Anti-Semitism is the Holocaust, but there are hundreds of thousands of smaller acts and political campaigns.

The modern concentration camp was actually created in the Boer War of

1899-1902. In an effort to restrain and subdue the Afrikaners from their

persistent guerrilla tactics, the British established tent camps to house the

families of the Boers whose farms were burned. Incompetence, the lack

of adequate health care and unsanitary conditions led to the death of no

less than 20,000 persons. It was not the intended outcome.

Large sections of Auschwitz I and II have been preserved as a museum.

It is at the end of the railway line at Auschwitz II (Birkenau) between where Krematoria II and Krematoria III stood.

In many countries there was no significant change for Jews in 1940. In Poland however there was change: In the German occupied sectors Jews would be placed in ghettos and in the Soviet occupied sector the warm reception that Jews recieved would chill.

Josef Mengele is famous because of the cruel experiments he did on twins, dwarfs and other people in the Auschwitz death camp. Also because after the war he fled to South America and no one was able to find him until 34 years later.

The Natzis simply tortured and killed the jews.THey were sent to concentraton camps where they had to work all day and at the endof the day, for instance, a nazi officer gather them and simply shoots a group of them, and the next day the same procdure continues.Jews were looked upon as the "stabbers" in WWI, therefore a kind of hate has grown towards them from the germans.

Which camps? England invented concentration camps in, I think, the Crimean War, the US unlawfully used them to control citizens of Japanese, Italian, and German backgrounds, and of course the Nazis used them in WW II, and the Japanese also in WW II.

The Nazis employed some Jewish people to guard others that were confined in the Warsaw ghetto. The Jewish ghetto police, also called flops, were promised better treatment, and promised freedom. The flops were very brutal in some cases exceeding the brutality of the Nazis themselves.

The internment and execution of nearly 6 million Jews in Europe mostly in Poland and Germany. There were many such death camps including Buchenwald, Auschwitz and Dachau where Jew were systematically used as forced labor and then executed usually by gas.

It is not clear whether you are looking for the word - which is Holocaust, or whether this is a 'please-tell-me-all-about' question, or both.

The color of 'star' made of fabric or paper given to the Jews in the Holocaust or Shoah were a golden yellow and are commonly referred to as a 'yellow star'.

However, in the Lager or Concentration Camp of Dachau, prisoners of other backgrounds, crimes or stances were given different color badges to denote what they were there for.

Gold/Yellow stood for the Jewish people

Purple stood for Religious Offenders (fundamentalists)

Green stood for Criminals

Red stood for Political Prisoners

Pink stood for Sexual Offenders, e.g. homosexuals, rapists, pedophiles etc

Brown stood for Illegal Immigrants

Dark Blue stood for 'Asocial ' Offenders: Behavior problems such as Mental Illness

White stood for 'Special Treatment'.

Those designated for 'special treatment' were doomed to torture and immense pain. Special treatment also referred to death or execution.

When Germany lost, they blamed it on not just the Jewish, but Christians, mentally retarded, homosexuals, and all other "flawed" people. Hitler didn't like the Jews because he wanted to enter an art college run by them.

When Anne receives her diary as a 13 birthday gift, she names it Kitty as a way to see it as a friend. She doesn't have any real friends so her diary becomes her friend in which she confides. When hiding from the gestapo with her family and a few other people, Anne meets a boy that lives there as well. They kind of become friends but other then him Anne Frank never really had any friends.

Roughly 11 million people were killed in the Holocaust. Six million Jews and five million non-Jews (Slavs, Gypsies, Homosexuals, Political Enemies, Jehova's Witnessesn, sympathetic citizens, etc). This figure includes the camps as well as the mass graves in the country sides, killings on the street, organized shootings (such as Babi Yar, etc.) and basically, any person singled out for their religion, plitical beliefs, or their sexual persuasion.

Roughly 10-11,000,000

5 million non-jews and 6 million jews total was 11 million

From records and informants. Remember before the Holocaust they had no reason to hide their religion. Plus the tattoed numbers on their forearm was a dead giveaway. Additionally, I don't think the Krauts like Matzo Ball soup. Every one in Germany carried ID papers, so it would show what the race or religion was of all that were ordered dto show proof, if that did not work, they would assume by the look of the person, what thy were, because of certain prominent features.
