What did Jews work as?

Whether Jews had permission to work depends quite strongly on the time period, location, and profession of choice. For example, Jews could almost always work in in-community professions, like butchers, rabbis, or ghetto-police. However, Jews were almost uniformly banned from certain professions like artisanry. Also some professions permitted to Jews in one country would be illegal for Jews in another. For example, Jews could be government officials in the US, but could not in most of Europe prior to the 20th century.

Who were the Allies during the Holocaust?

the Holocaust had no 'the Allies' per se, there were alliances like between the escape committees inside camps and the local resistance groups.

Did any black people die during the Holocaust?

At the time of the Holocaust, there were extremely few black people in Europe (immigration to Europe from Africa has increased tremendously in recent decades, but there was very little prior to or during WW II). So, although the Nazis did consider Africans to be racially inferior, that had no relevance to the Holocaust, which was the Nazi program to eliminate unwanted races (primarily Jews and Gypsies) from Europe. It is easily possible that if the Third Reich had won, they would eventually have gotten around to killing black people in other continents. Or perhaps they would have preferred to keep them around as slave labor.

Could a repeat of the Holocaust occur?


Yes , unfortunately ; such sad events are inevitable considering the human propensity for violence and the desire for power over others .

Another factor aside from war, slaughter etc, is overpopulation, at some point there's simply not enough to go around, even in the west.

Why is scapegoating people wrong?

Scapegoating is when a person (an individual, a country's leader, a politician) or an entire society places the blame for a social problem on a particular group, even though that group is really not the main cause of the problem. For example, Adolph Hitler scapegoated the Jews and blamed them for all of Germany's economic problems. Currently, in many countries, people are scapegoating immigrants (whether legal or undocumented), and in certain countries, a particular tribe or ethnic group is scapegoated, often leading to civil unrest.

While it is certainly true that some individual members of a group may have contributed to a problem, scapegoating places the blame squarely on the entire group and often encourages prejudice or even hatred of that group. Political leaders, especially those in countries where there is no freedom of thought, often use scapegoating to distract from the country's real problems and keep the public busy by giving them a group at whom they can safely direct their anger. The problem of scapegoating is it leads to no solutions-- it just promotes a culture of blame; it can sometimes lead to violence, and it rarely results in positive change.

What happened to Hitler's Aryan race?

Hitler's Aryan race was a myth, an artificial race, much like he called Jews a race, it was not based on genetics, but rather on who he said was in that race, so you could say that it carries on so long as people talk about it, or you could say that it never existed.

What were the Jews in concentration camps supposed to do?

They had to work. They got whatever job was assigned to them.

There were some whose job it was to calm the people who were arriving on the transports, and usher them down the lane to the gas chambers, and then to pull the bodies from the gas chambers to the crematory.

How did Jews escape capture in Nazi Germany?

Why did Israel become divided?

Answer

This happened over the issue of taxes. See 1 Kings 12. This is the story of how Israel became divided.

After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12).

Christian Answer

Actually in Hosea we discover that the "house" of Israel God divorced and their identity was absorbed into the kingdom of Judah described as the "children" of Israel (Hosea 1:4-11) in which Christ is the head.

If you are referring to ancient times; King Solomon became idolatrous and cruel in his old age. After his death the Israelites asked his successor, Rehoboam, to be easier on them. Rehoboam took bad advice and refused,, so the majority of the tribes ceded from his rulership and came under the rulership of his rival Jeroboam. Then Israel was split into the nation of Judah , in the south, and the nation of Israel , in the north.

How many people from each country were killed in the Holocaust?

Have a look at the link for country by country lists of the figures. You really need to look at the whole page, as the borders of many countries changed during World War 2.

The lists go by country of deportation, in order to avoid double counting. So, for example, people who fled from Germany to France before the start of World War 2, but were later sent from France to Auschwitz, are included in the total for France only. Obviously, especially in Poland and the former Soviet Union. many victims were killed in mass open-air shootings - in which case the question of deportation doesn't arise, only the country of death.
