Why were ghettos first established in the Holocaust?
When all the Jewish people were concentrated into the Ghettos in Poland, the next thing the Nazis wanted was to get rid of them, but how, so they came up with the idea to move the people out of the Ghettos by force, put them on cattle trains to the Camps and burn the ghettos down so even if there were people hiding they would have been burned alive. This tragedy was called the liquidation of the ghettos.

Why did Hitler get involved in the Holocaust?
The Holocaust refers to the Nazi genocide of the Jews and other groups. It is not synonymous with World War 2. The Japanese were not involved in the slaughter of the Jews and found the Nazis' antisemitism utterly bewildering.
Where did Jewish people wear the Star of David?
The right arm
ANSWER: The words of the actual law requiring Jews to wear the Yellow Star of David state that it should be sewn onto their outer clothes on the left side of the chest. Most of the historical photos show this to be the case. However, a small minority of pictures also depict Jews with Stars of David on a armband wrapped around their right arms. So I assume both the left side of the chest or the right arm was considered acceptable by the Nazis.

Who are "Other Germans"? Other works only based on a referential.
If "other" refers to individuals not directly affiliated with the Nazi Party, then you have a mixed bag. Anti-Semitism was quite normal in Germany prior to the Rise of the Nazis, but it was not something that would have led to mass violence without someone to instigate. Of course, there were also a minority of Germans (still large numbers, but a minority) who did not harbor any feelings towards Jews or actually tried to help them and sympathized with them.

Who survived the Holocaust and is still alive today in 2007?
One of the best known survivors still alive (in 2009) is Elie Wiesel. Two members of the Auschwitz Women's orchester are still alive - Esther Bejarano (born in 1924, currently living in Hamburg) and Anita Lasker-Wallfisch (born in 1925, currently living in London). In the 1980s Esther Bejarano formed a small group called Coinocidence which sang songs from the ghettos, other Jewish songs and also anti-Fascist songs. Two other members are thought to be alive, but there seems to be very little information about them - Hilde Grunbaum and Rivka Kupfeberg.
What conditions did the Jews suffer from in the concentration camps?
they suffered the unthinkable, they were destroyed in their minds, hearts,and spirits. They were treated very badly.
They got little or no food and had to work constantly in the camps with tough management from the Germans. The Germans would beat them if they didn't "cooperate" with them.
Many were shot from the firing squad and many died after being put in the gas chambers
How many survivors of World War 2 was Jewish?
The exact number is unknown, and there are different definitions of Holocaust survivor.
"When the war ended on 8th May 1945, it is estimated that there were around 200,000 Jewish survivors of the forced labour camps, concentration camps, death camps and death marches. Thousands of other survivors, who had been with the partisan groups, or in hiding, were also freed from Nazi control. The majority of those who survived were aged between 16 and 40 years old. The death toll continued to rise after liberation, with tens of thousands dying of starvation, disease, and the after-effects of malnutrition."
The Holocaust wiped out around two-thirds of the European Jewish population, or one third of the world Jewish population.

The Holocaust was an event, not a structure, so built is not exactly the right word. Adolph Hitler is the primary cause of the Holocaust, although lots of people helped him.
Sheesh, if you're going to spell out a name, you should at LEAST do it right. It's Adolf Hitler!

Why did Auschwitz become a symbol for the Holocaust?
Auschwitz was the biggest Nazi extermination camp. It has been called the largest graveyard in human history and therefore has become a symbol for the Holocaust itself. It is estimated that 1.1 million to 1.6 million died there.
___
Moreover, Auschwitz was a combined extermination camp and group of concentration camps (unlike most other camps, which were either of the one type or the other, but not both). As a result, there were far more survivors from the Auschwitz group of camps than from extermination camps like Treblinka and Sobibor. Some of the survivors gave evidence in postwar trials and some wrote their memoirs.
Were redheads killed during the holocaust?
Ginger Jews, maybe. Without blue eyes and light hair, probably.
