Why were the Germans so against the Jews?
First of all, it was the German political party and hate organization the Nazis that actively hated the Jews by persecuting them and rounding them up to carry out the Holocaust. While there was prevalent anti-Semitism throughout Europe for generations, this was the most extreme case.
Usually, it's about racism or blaming weak minorities on things that you can't control, like financial situations.

Did the Jews go to the ghetto before the concertration camps?
In many parts of Nazi-occupied Europe, yes. In 1939-41 in Nazi-occupied Poland (and later also in Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine) the Jews were herded into ghettos by the Nazis. These were often not in established Jewish districts but dilapidated areas. The authorities were ordered by Heydrich to make sure that ghettos were close to rail transport ... Conditions in the ghettos were appalling and got steadily worse. The inhabitants were dependent on the Nazis for food, water and medication and the Nazis made sure that ghettos were hopelessly overcrowded. From late 1941 on regular deportations to extermination camps began. Well known ghettos include those in Warsaw, Lodz, Bialystock, Krakow and later, Lemberg (Lviv, Lvov). In many big cities in Germany, the Jews were forced to live in designated Jewish apartment blocks, which had to have a huge J over all entrances.

How many people could fit in a crematorium at Auschwitz?
Sorry I had to delete someones answer that said only 1 body was loaded in each oven, so heres some first hand testimony - WARNING - GRAPHIC - There were 5 Crematoriums at Auschwitz, but 52 Muffles, which are the openings allowing bodies to be fed into. They got very good at being able to fit the maximum amount of bodies in each muffle. They could burn 4-5 at a time continuously and sometimes 8 or more depending on the size of bodies. There are some sickening eye witness accounts coming first hand from the germans loading the ovens. This coming from a SonderKommando talks about how they would put the first 2 stacked, head to toe, face up but since the bodies arms and legs raise as they burn they would have to work fast to load the next bodies. They would burn the children with adults, loading a couple adults first so the children wouldnt slip through the grid bars into the ash bin, and then stack as many children as they could on top, sometimes as many as 8. This I quote "Women's bodies burned much better and more quickly than those of men. For this reason, when a charge was burning badly, we would introduce a woman's body to accelerate the combustion.".
Essentially, once the first bodies started to burn they would continue adding more to keep the fires hot. They learned to combine fat/skinny people and children to achieve maximum efficiency. (Sorry I want to say large people, but fat is fuel basically).

How did the Germans plan to eradicate the Jews of Europe?
In what ways did the Nazis try to eliminate all Jews in Europe in the years from 1941 onwards? The years following 1941 were full of terror and hurt for the German Jews. They were killed in many ways such as being hung, shot, gassed and were even used for medical experiments. Jews were imprisoned in Ghettos. They were meant to imprison them and not to kill them, but make easy labour from them. Because they were worked so hard the Ghettos became a known killer of German Jews around 1941.The Jews living there lived in poor conditions with no electricity or food. They had barely any clothes and were freezing cold and lived most of the time in darkness. The Ghettos were ideal for what the Nazis needed the Jews for as they were all in one place and the Nazis didn't have to go looking for them when they decided they wanted to kill them. The Nazis made sure that the Jews living in the Ghettos felt it was so bad condition wise that they would do anything they could to leave and then leave the area to avoid being Jews in the Ghettos were worked hard at things such as digging snow, building roads, working in factories and building railway lines which later lead to the concentration and death camps. At first the most common way for Nazis to kill Jews was to shoot them. The way in which they were shot ranged from being randomly shot in the streets to being gathered in a pit with 200-300 more Jews and shot at until they died. When the Nazis decided to start their hate campaign against the Jews many of them tried hiding under floorboards and similar places so Nazis did things such as shoot the ceilings from the rooms below to try and kill them. This wasted lots of bullets so the Nazis resulted in lining Jews up and shooting the one in the front and allowing the bullet to kill the others in the line-up. It is said that 6 million Jews were killed in one of these ways, for the only reason of them being Jewish. Millions of bullets were used to try and solve the issue of there being too many Jews in Germany whilst Hitler had his reign. The easiest way to kill them was to take a gun and just shoot them, it was quick and easy and most of the time painless. This seemed like the best idea on how to get rid of Jews but as the war progressed the bullets were needed out at battle so the Nazis had to think of a new way to kill them. The Nazis thought it be best if they started to gas the Jews in order to save bullets and it was easier and could kill more of them at one time. The ways in which they killed them was to send them to gas chambers in which they were stripped of all their belongings and clothes and their hair cut. After this they were told they should go into a room of showers to be de-loused. Then, when the room went dark and all the doors were locked and there was no possible way of them escaping instead of water coming from the showers a gas called Zyklon-B would come out and they would all die of gas poisoning. Another way that they were gassed is that they would be rounded up and put into specially designed lorries that didn't allow gas to leave it and a pipe from the exhaust was put into the lorry so they would all fall into a sleep and never wake up. This was probably one of the best ways the Nazis killed Jews as it was painless for them and they didn't feel as scared as to what would be happening to them. hope that answers your question....
What did Adolf Hitler say to the Jews before they died?
"It is untrue that I, or anyone else in Germany wanted war. It was provoked solely by the Jews. I die with a joyful heart in the knowledge of our infinite achievements and of a contribution unique in the history that bears my name."
When Poland was under Nazi occupation the larger ghettos were allowed to have a 'Jewish Council' (Judenrat) which then had to be appointed by the Nazis. The members of these councils soon found themselves in an impossible position. They had to organize the distribution of food, police the ghettos, and later they had to give the Nazis lists of people to be deported to death camps. Jewish councils were also set up in many other countries under Nazi rule. The initial attraction of these councils to Jews was that it was preferable for things like food distribution and policing to be done by fellow Jews than by the SS.
