What would they do to you while in the holocaust?
True, but there's more to it Contributor...
1) Following the most common image of the Holocaust, you were sent to a ghetto where you were systematically starved in preparation for your death at a concentration camp. Once arrived, you were meant to starved, disease ridden, and exhausted...ready to die. For those who survived selection, work was to be carried out until death. Your head was shaved, a number tattooed onto your arm, and a single small bowl was given to you for your meal. If you lost it, you would soon starve to death. If you happened to die, your body would either be cremated, buried in a mass pit, or burned in a mass pit. For those who didn't survive selection, the gas chamber was inevitable. After they fell victim to the gas, their bodies were disposed of in either way as well.
2) Not following the most common image of the Holocaust, Nazi ghettos and concentration camps, you would most likely be put to death by special Nazi killing units, known as the Einsatzgruppen. The units killed an estimated 1.5 million people through massive shootings. Victims of the Einsatzgruppen were mainly from Eastern Europe, where many of those mentioned on Hitler's "inferior race list" lived at the time. Victims were forced to strip naked and stand in massive pits, where they were shot. Once the first layer of bodies had been laid down, other victims were forced to lay on top of the dead bodies and be shot. Though women and children were at first spared, they quickly became victims as well.
What did not occur as a result of technological advancemennts made during world war 2?
True peace did not occur due to the technological advances and the development of the atomic bomb. The Cold War started before World War 2 ever ended. It also did not create tanks good enough to go against the Panzer tanks. It did not assuage Hitler nor did it stop the Japanese until Hirohito physically saw the damage of the two cities. It did not save enough lives medically. More technological advances were made in medicine, science, war manufacturing so that the war was better in Viet Nam. They had learned to develop the Jet better and smarter missiles to get direct hits. They were able to save more lives in Viet Nam (especially with the advance of the helicopter designed to pick up injured troopers).

The Gestapo were part of the police, the people that they killed had nothing to do with the Holocaust. They killed some under tourtue and executed some, most likely the figure is in the thousands.
The 6 million Jews and the others were killed mainly by the SS, and also by the army.

Forty-eight hours after November 9, 1938, "The Night of Broken Glass," thousands of Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
The Aryan race was something made up by German scientists, which they based off of Darwins theory of Evolution. Therefore it cannot have a timeline.
Did Hitler regard the Jews as citizens of Germany?
Between 1812 and about 1870 all the German states admitted their Jewish inhabitants to citizenship. In 1871, when Germany became a nation-state, the Jewish citizens of the various German states also became German citizens. From 1933 on they were subject to discrimatory legislation. The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 reduced them to non-citizens ... After the defeat of Nazism they were again admitted to German citizenship.

The Germans occupied Poland from 1939 to 1944-45. The liberation of Poland began in 1944.

Is the Holocaust the worst crime ever perpetrated?
No. As a matter of Fact it was perfectly legal Germany has been attacked by Soviet backed Jews in the 1920's with 500 pieces of artillery the locals managed to fight them off after a very short occupation a young Hitler saw this and many other crimes against his country and when he came into power he declared war on the Jews. Whom number about 4 million in total in all of Europe in the 1940's . 6 million Jews did not die. The International Red Cross had already reported in 1946 that of registered Jewish camp inmates no more than 300,000 could have died, and their audit to December 31, 1984 records a total 282,077 registered deaths of all internees in all German Concentration Camps from all causes.
Why did the Nazis target the liberals?
If I am correct, many/most of the liberals in Germany were Communists. If so, the liberals were indeed a prime target of the Nazis.
___
However, you are quite mistaken. At no time did the liberals make common cause with the Communists. The liberals were supporters of democracy, which the Nazis detested.
(Incidentally, this zest for regarding liberals as Communists is something that hardline right-wingers in the US share with the Nazis).
How many homosexuals did the Nazis kill?
It's impossible to give the exact number. The Wikipedia article on the Holocaust gives an estimate of 5,000 to 15,000, which is a very wide range.
There are those who challenge even the 5,000 to 15,000, saying that they believe it is too high. Among these are Dr. Judith Reisman in her article "The Pink Swastika and Holocaust Revisionist History," available online.
Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams: The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party c. 2004 (available to read at no charge online) present evidence for the role of homosexuals within the Nazi Party and content that any homosexuals killed were mostly "fems" and were disdained and killed by more masculine homosexuals.
In another book also by Lively, The Poisoned Stream, Lively states that he has found it very difficult to find hard evidence for the killing of very many homosexuals at all in the holocaust. He contends that many within the Nazi regime were practicing homosexuals of the more masculine variety, and that many of the prison commandants were in fact masochistic homosexuals, some of whom openly boasted of their homosexual masochism against their prisoners. [This is pure guesswork, on a par with suggestions that the Nazis were boot fetishists].
____
They say between 5,000 and 15,000 homosexuals died in the Holocaust. I personally would like to dispute this number, as the Nazis were such thorough in their discrimination I would have thought it was much, much higher. However, the treatment of the gay men and women after the war by the Allies was not brilliant either as some Holocaust Survivors were promptly thrown in prison by the Allies for being gay!
Note
Scott Lively is notoriously anti-gay and his book seems to be pure fantasy.
By the time the Allies reached the extermination and concentration camps there weren't that many inmates, Jewish or non-jewish, left to free. Obviously, the Allies freed those that were still alive. They need medical care first, though, and the killer diseases didn't simply disappear. In the case of the typhus epidemic at Bergen-Belsen, for example, a further 13,000 inmates died after liberation.
What conference did German officials meet to implement the final solution to the Jews?
You are probably thinking of the Wannsee Conference of 20 January 1942. However, routine mass gassings of Jews had already started at Chelmno (Kulmhof) camp on 8 December 1941. The Wannsee Conference was fairly short (90 minutes) and was concerned with getting the various agencies involved (local police, the SS and the railways) to co-operate.
What was a pipel in the Holocaust?
In Nazi concentration camps a pipel was a boy (usually in early adolescence) kept by an SS guard or a kapo for sex. This was tolerated at some camps.
How did the Nazi party changed life politically for the Jews?
It depends entirely on the time period and country where the Jews were living. More often than not, when an event happened that had a marked impact on the Jews' lifestyle occurred, it was negative (such as pogroms, expulsions, libels, etc.), but there were positive changes as well (such as emancipation, secularism in non-Jewish states, and governmental protections).
What percentage of People killed in the Holocaust were actually Jews?
about 5.1 million gypsies, non Jews and prisoners of war, especially Russians.
---
If one takes takes 11 million as the figure for the total number killed in the wider holocaust - that is including the groups listed above, and about 6 million Jews, then 6/11 would give a percentage of 54.5% Jews.
Why was Germany so willing to accept Hitler as a leader and destroy all Jews?
Germany was in a hard economic crisis. Hitler was the solution. Hitler blamed the Jews for owning all bussinesses and not keeping money in Germany.
