Which countries killed Jews during the Holocaust?
Countries against Jews
Germany was against them during the holocaust and Europe blamed them for the Bubonic (black) plague.
Answer 2:
All of them, because the whole world is anti-semitist. Anti-semitism is a hate of Jews based on prejudice and stereotypes. I'm not talking about everyone individually; I'm talking about everyone collectively.
answer 3
The middle east countries such as Jordan, Iran, Syria, all want to see Israel demolished and claim it for there home land. Many middle east countries are against the Jews. Muslims claim Israel as their holy land making it their 3rd holiest site and the Jews claim it as there one and only, and is holy to them. Many Muslim countries despise the Jews for being in Israel.
Many white European countries are not anti-Semitic like they use to be but in the past you would say they were. Most parts of Western and Eastern Europe were anti-semtic for various reasons, mainly because the Jews were blamed for Jesus death and then became major escapegoats and easy to blame after that. Today, these European nations are more impartial to the Jews.
In the past there have been countries that trumped up hate towards the Jews but the past 50 years have been an improvement. For example, in the US the Klu Klux Klan was a white power movement and very strong in the South which condemned minority races and the Jewish religion along with other religions. The white power movement in the last 50 years had died out due to Lyndon b Johnson, Martin Luther king and etc.
answer 4
The Jews do receive a lot of hate but they are not hated as like the last 2000 years and playing viticrat only brings up a new type of of hate. Saying the whole world is anti-Semitic just brings a victimized state of mind which is easily hated. Can you think of anyone who hasn't been hated?
What are 50 themes of the Holocaust?
I am guessing here. I believe they are theme essays written for people to learn about the atrocities of the Holocaust or it is the 50th Anniversary of the Holocaust.
I have provided some links for you to see. They may help you.
How did the British react when they found out about the Holocaust?
Britains response was of anger and disgust. The camps were kept a secret from the outside world until 1944 when some of the first were found and in 1945 Belsen was discovered. My grandad was an engineer in WW2 and he was one of the first to walk into Belsen. When he walked out he never talked about what he saw. we only found this out when he died and we were reading his military records. The feeling would of been the same for all soldiers and civilians who entered these "camps". The governments reaction was to put all Nazi leaders on trial when the war was won. The Nuremburg trials.
How did people get hurt during the boycott?
People boycotted because of taxes and lay firms and so the colonist didn't like that so the colonist just stopped buying British goods.
What does is mean to be a hero?
Apparently the essence of being a hero is to die that others may live. If that is the case (and I have no reason to believe otherwise) then Jesus Christ is the Epitome' of being a true hero as he was prepared to die for all of humanity.
Actually, most, if not all, sects of Judaism do allow Jews to own pets.
How did Nazis know if you were a Jew or not?
In order to qualify as German you had to demonstate, above all, that you weren't Jewish. This usually involved producing certificates showing all four grandparents had been baptized as infants.
Are labor camps part of the final solution?
In Germany concentration camps were set up after 1933 to detain without legal procedure Jews, Communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, and others. During World War II extermination, or death, camps were established for the sole purpose of killing men, women, and children. In the most notorious camps - Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor and Majdanek in Poland, Buchenwald and Dachau in Germany - more than 6 million people, mostly Jews and Poles, were killed in gas chambers. Millions of others were also interned during the war, and a large proportion died of gross mistreatment, malnutrition, and disease. The concentration camps were made in the beninig to put leaders opposed to Hitler and once he was in power, he reasiled that he will be needed more to help him in the final solution.
What is the history of the Nazi symbol?
== == I don't think there can be a 100% guaranteed accurate answer, as the symbol which we know as the Nazi swastika has been around for hundreds, possibly a thousand years.
It appears that this seemingly universal symbol has had multiple origins at widely dispersed [both locale and time-wise], non-related locations around the world. I do not recall whether, or not, the swastika was a pre-Nazi historical symbol of Germanic history, or was newly adopted by the Nazi regiem from existing world-wide graphic symbols. I will continue to monitor this question in the hope that someone with specific knowledge will provide a more definitive answer. True. The symbol was used by the American Indians. During World War 1, one of the American squadrons had an Indian head for its aircraft markings, which had a small swastika on the headress. Prior to World War 2, the shoulder patch insignia for US 45th Infantry Division was a RED diamond(or square rotated 90 degrees) with a YELLOW swastika. After US declared war on Germany, the swastika was replaced with an Indian THUNDERBIRD. Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. An ancient symbol, it occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif (as in the Roman Republic and Empire) and sometimes as a religious symbol. It was long widely used in major world religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.
Addendum: The the essential shape/symbol we know as the swastika is actually prehistoric & known/used by cultures all over the world. It is thought by some that it may have been inspired by the rotating sparks that flew from the fire-drill tool used by primitive Man to start campfires. Its historically ancient metaphysical symbol/symbolic sense included representing the alchemical Four Forces (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) rotating from East to West in creating & maintaining the World. Whatever, the word comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which basically means "well-being" (as understood so by the sages & mystics of ancient India). Until Hitler & the Nazis co-opted it as their emblem, it was believed & seen as a good luck symbol; and it's sad that it will never be seen again as anything but a symbol of evil because of their perverted use. It is well known that many of the high-ranking Nazis were into a lot of pseudo-mystical ideas & beliefs & so probable they adopted it as their "magic" symbol for good luck; however, they twisted the symbol to affect turning counter, as they believed they were going to reverse the Order & establish a new one. Fortunately, the Cosmic Order will not tolerate being messed with so, regardless of reasons, methods or beliefs. I'ts just sad - and amazing - that as the supposed most inteligent species on this planet we are so tragically slow to learn this...
What was the systematic murder by the of Jews and others by the Nazis called?
It can be called the Holocaust or genocide.
How did concentration camps come to be?
ordered by Hitler to concentrate enemies of Hitlers Reich into prison camps....
but concentation camps originated in America. The United States used concentation camps before Hitler. They used the concentation camps on the Native Americans. look up fort sumner in New Mexico. The navajo people were forced to be in these camps way before the jews.
How did the nazi government identify Jews within the society of Germans in general?
The Nazis had not problems identifying Jews. They knew which names were Jewish, who went to the Synagogue, who looked like a Jew (Black hair predominate, but some had other colors).
They knew who had all the Jewish businesses and banks. They rounded them up and sent them to concentration camps if they did not kill them before arrival. The homosexuals were pretty obvious too by behavior and places they hung out at. The mentally ill and developmentally disabled and the people with physical anomalies were obvious too. The physicians knew them too and would tell the Nazis who they were.
How did the Germans persuade the Jews?
Nazis blamed the Jews for the defeat of Germany in WW I, and for all other social problems in Germany, and many Germans found this quite believable since Jews had already been demonized in Europe for over a thousand years.
What is the point of concentration camps?
to keep people in one place, for easy access to the people.
The purpose was to murder 6 million Jews of Europe and to remove the disabled, gay, and elderly as well as any dissenting people. In 1933 approximately 9.5 million Jews lived in Europe comprising 1.7% of the total European population. This number represents more than 60% of the World's Jewish population at that time of an estimated 15.3 million. The majority of Jews in prewar Europe lived in Eastern Europe. The largest was Poland with about 3,000,000 Jews. In Central Europe the largest Jewish population was in Germany with about 525,000 people and Western Europe the largest population was in Great Britain with 300,000. Before the Nazi seizure in 1933 Europe had a diverse set of Jewish cultures. In less than a decade two out of every three Jews would be dead.
How did Hitler turn everyone against Jews and why?
He didn't have to, they did anyway. First, prejudice against Jews was "in the air" in the 1920s anyway. Hitler didn't have to create those bad feelings, just channel them and amplify them. For example, when the stock marketcrashed and the Depression hit in the 1930s, no one really understood what had happened. It was easy to point to the already-disliked Jews and focus the blame on them. Second, the influence of Charles Darwin's evoluation was being felt and eugenics (selective breeding of humans) was considered forward-thinking and progressive in the early 20th century. Hitler used a lot of the language of eugenics to encourage Germans to extremes of nationalism with the excuse that it would help improve the German "race," like breeding thoroughbred horses. Again, he didn't invent the ideas of evoluation and eugenics, but he manipulated existing public opinion to a high degree. This helped the German people become callous towards the mentally retarded, non-Germans (like Jews and Gypsies), and others considered "undesireable" to improving the German race. This paved the way for Germans to co-operate with the Holocaust.

What is scapegoat and how is this in the Holocaust?
Scapegoating had a lot to do with the holocaust because of Hitler and the Nazi regime's blame upon Jews. Scapegoating is when something is used in place of another, in this case Hitler using Jews to blame for all war, troubles, and political/economic issues. Not only did Hitler use the Jewish population as a scapegoat, bet he manipulated and twisted the minds of his own population to heighten his own power and to strengthen his dictatorship. Scapegoating is also used in Mafias, drug cartels, and any other large crime organization; Usually illegal underground businesses run by corrupt leaders with a ladder of power installed into the system.
