What is the importance of the Holocaust and detailed background of the Holocaust?

Yes the Holocaust is important but more than that it was a very sad time. And Adolf Hitler killed 18 thousand people, he killed different people than just Jews. There were more than 14 thousand Natzi consentration camps. A little girl named Ida in the Holocaust said this "There were a lot of children but I don't remember anybody running around or playing. We were so hungry - we couldn't think of anything else. All the grass in the yard was eaten," A prisoner lasted less than a year. They died of starvation, illness, killed by Natzies, went to the "Jew Smoke Stack". Before being killed, people were exploited until there last breath. It was a sad time and we must take good out of this bad time by never doing it again and learning that everyone is different and unique and we must embrass it.

How long were Jews in rail cars on the way to concentration camps?

The cattle trucks (boxcars) were moved around by freights trains. The Jews were not let out till they reached their destination. There were no stops for food, water or sanitation. The trains were very slow - possibly deliberately slow, with an average speed over the whole journey of about 15 mph (or less).

Moreover, the trains sometimes called at other camps before reaching Auschwitz (or some other final destination). For example, some trains first went to Majdanek, which is well to the east of Auschwitz. There, at Majdanek, perhaps two trucks were 'emptied' and the train continued its journey.

For Jews from Western Europe a typical journey time was three days and for those transported from Greece to Auschwitz it was five days. Many of the elderly Jews were dead on arrival at Auschwitz.

What was the initial response of the United States to the german campaign against european jews?

The United States was initially reluctant to get involved in the German campaign against European Jews. Despite the urging of the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe led by Peter Bergson, the government refused to intervene early in the conflict.

What happend to the Jews that survived the Holocaust?

Most of them stayed in the Soviet Union. Leaving the country was extremely difficult.

When did the holocaust start and when did end?

1938-1945 ___ The systematic mass murders began in 1941. One can take the Holocaust back to the Kristallnacht, but most historians confine to the "Final Solution". (Until mid 1941 Jews were able to leave Germany and Nazi occupied territory, if they could find somewhere to go to).

Is the Holocaust an example of evil?

An example of moral evil is something evil that is caused by someone (or a group of people). Examples include murder, rape, suicide bombings (9/11) or gun and knife crime.

People include Stalin, Hitler, the kidnapper behind Madeline McCann, the two boys who tortured another two and the 13-year-old rapist who was in the paper today.

Many philosophers have commented on this. They call it the 'Logical Problem of Evil' or the 'Inconsistent Triad'. This is:

1)God is omnipotent (all powerful)

2)God is omnibenevolent (all good)

3)Evil exists.

Obviously, one of these doesn't belong, and we tend to think it is Evil - therefore the Triad is inconsistant.

Epicurus argued 'Either God is not all-powerful and he does care, or he does care but he's not all-powerful, or he doesn't exist.'

Irenaus argued Evil is telelogical (it has a purpose), that is to make us learn form our mistakes. He thought that 'When Evil occurs, it is our fault, not God's."

However, some philosophers believe that some mistakes are too high a price to pay just so we can "learn from our mistakes".

Anyway, hope that helped answer your question!!

The results from the tests were that there was no functional way to change a person's eye colors without damaging the person's eyes. Of course, the other result from the test was numerous deformed Jewish test subjects for these immoral experiments.

Why were the Jews not being treated fairly by Hitler?

Hitler was against many religions and races, one main one was being Judaism. He wanted to eliminate every Jew and went to the the farthest he possibly could to be cruel to them.

What do people use hornblende used for?

Edith died of starvation on January 6, 1945 as she saved all of her food for her daughters, who she never saw again after they were sent to Bergen-Belsen on October 30, 1944. Margot and Anne died of typhoid fever in February or March, 1945.

Why did Adolf Hitler claim Jews were to blame for what he perceived as Germany's post World War 1 moral decline?

There are many reasons for this. HITLER held a belief shared by many around the world that Jews were to blame for the financial problems of the world before, during and after the Great Depression. Jewish people at the time were a very large part of the world's artisans especially in the jewellery and allied trades. When times were tough, many Jewish business people stayed 'afloat' through tight business practises and a preparedness to work on a slim profit margin. Also, when HITLER was a youth, his mother married a Jewish man. Psychologists may argue that this led to a dislike of Jews due to Adolf feeling that his natural father's position had been usurped and his mother violated or some similar rhubarb. After WWI, Germany signed a surrender treaty (Treaty of Versailles) which in part agreed to Germany making repatriation for war damage. By the time the Great Depression came along, the German currency was worthless. Germans were having to use a wheelbarrow load of money to buy a loaf of bread. A combination of war repatriation and the Depression had put Germany into a bigger unemployed state than most countries. She was not allowed to re-equip her military (beyond minimal self defence) and couldn't sell munitions overseas as she'd done in the past (Krup and Farber). Hitler saw German people starving and Jews (many of whom were actually German born) managing to to put food on their tables. HITLER went 'beserko' and tore up the Treaty of Versailles; began rearmament creating more jobs, stopped repatriation spending and went after the Jews. HITLER and his merry men probably thought that ousting the Jews was what brought Germany back from bankruptcy. They probably didn't consider everything else that was going on.

How were Jews treated in the worst concentration camps?

They were treated like they were the lowest life form of Mankind. The Jews were beaten, stabbed, shot, hanged, tortured, starved to death, and so much more. If you didn't work fast enough, you were beaten and or whipped. If you were searched and had anything like money or a picture on you, you were beaten and executed soon after. If you were a woman, you had a very good chance of being raped.After the rape you were sent to be executed, if you were lucky. If a prisoner escaped, The Kommandant would take it out on other prisoners. One way they did this was by taking up to nine or ten prisoners and making them get into a cell and were starved to death. All these cases are just a very small percent of the daily life that The Jewish People suffered for several years.

In World War 2 what did people sleep in for safety?

Food and if you had children with you toys or books, anything to take their mind off the bombs exloding around you. Water too. If your husband or dad was out fighting some people kept a small shrine down in the shelter. A gun or two if your land was invaded you would have something to defend yourself should they try to get into the shelter. Sometimes even a radio to contact the british capitol to cry for help. Or if you wanted some extra cash and were really good maybe you could intercept a German luftwaffe signal

Details of the Holocaust?

Everything about the holocaust? I'm afraid that you have asked an impossible question. There is so much about the holocaust that nobody on Earth can answer now. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I can not tell you everything. I can, however, tell you some things that others maybe can't.First of all, the basics:When did it happen? Between 1939 and 1945 ( although people were persecuted long after the war, and the suffering of those who were persecuted is ever-lasting )Who did the Nazis persecute? Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, mentally and physically desabled people, black people, Jehova's Witnesses, and anyone who tried to help these people escape)How many people were killed? Nobody really knows the exact numbers, but it is estimated that eleven million people were murdered. Six million of these people were Jews, and 1.5 million were merely children, maybe more, because many children lied about their age, in order to increase their chances of surviving.What were the Nazis trying to do? Create a pure "Aryan" race. The sterio type of an Aryan is a strong, tall, blonde haired, blue eyed person. A steriotypical Jew was short and stout with curly black hair and hook noses. How were the Jews treated? Like vermin, or parasites. Like lab rats, or diseased pests.How did the Nazis persicute Jews? They shippd them off to consentration camps and death camps, took away their rights and citizenship, kicked them out of their houses, and stuffed them in trains and ghettos, expelled children from their regular schools, marched them into fields and shot them into pits, took away all their posessions, and publicly demoralized them.How did Jews escape? Some lucky ones managed to hide in basements, cellars, old barns, in the forest, or down in the sewers for years until the war ended. There were some survivors of the camps. Many Jews tried to convert to other religions, but thaty was soon outlawed.What is the difference between a death camp and a concentration camp? A concentration camp, such as Auschwitz or Treblinka is a labour camp, where prisoners are kept as slaves (it usually also had a gas chamber for the sikly and for children or elderly who were too weak to work). A death camp, such as Belzec, is not a labour camp. There are survivors of Auschwitz, there are survivors of Treblinka, but there are no survivors of any death camp. This is because it is strictly for death, and there are no prisoners- all victims are simply gassed to death upon arriving.

I actually don't have uch more time to write this, so let's do this in point form. Sorry for lack of detail.

Josef Mengele (or the Angel of Death, or Uncle Mengele) was an evil scientist who worked at Auschwitz concentration camp. He thoroughly enjoyed his work conducting gruessome experiments on little children, particularly twins and gypsies. He was in charge of pickiing which prisoners were healthy enough to work, and which would be gassed to death.

The chemical used to gas Jews to death at Auschwitz was a type of rat poison called Zyklon B.

The bodies of prisoners were usually burned in "kremas" or thrown into mass graves like the one in Bergen Belsen Camp.

At the camps, prisoners were usually worked to death. They got so little time to rest that it was impossible to have energy. They received only tiny rations of moldy bread and watery, rotten cabbage soup. All prisoners were given a number that was tatooed on their arm, that became their name. all the boys and men had to wear striped pajama and ill fitting shoes, and women wore old work clothes. They never were allowed to change. Many died of typhoid fever and dehydration or froze to death. Accesive lice was unavoidable.

In Auschwitz one of the first things one notices is the haunting cheery music that was played by the emaciated prisoners. This music was to make the newcomers feel welcome before they were gassed or worked to death.

Sorry, more later.

How many Jews are still alive today?

350000

___

Where does that very high figure come from?

If you look at the answer for the question, `How many Holocaust survivors?` you will see where the figure came from.

You also need to date the estimate, as there are fewer Holocausts survivors every year. In 2012, there are probably only 260,000 Holocaust survivors left.
