Holocaust

No they didn't do anything actually. Hitler actually created a false narrative as to give a reason as to why he could do all of those horrible things to them.

o April 1933 Boycotted Jewish shops

o 1934-Jews banned from public activities

o Laws meant that Jews could be sacked from education

o Nov 1938- Night of Broken Glass-Jews killed, fined 1 billion marks

o Nuremberg Laws-Jews couldn’t own property.

o Final Solution-concentration camps

Many of them were but it isn't fairto judge people for being nazi, as they thought what they were doing was the right thing, they thought that they were the good guys and that the british allied forces were the badguys. So technicly it is partly point of veiw.

Franklin Roosevelt was well informed about what the Nazis were doing. He did not do anything specifically to end the Holocaust.

Jan Karski, a member of the Polish resistance and a courier, had two lengthy face-to-face meetings with FDR at the time of the Holocaust. Karski described the conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto and told him about the extermination camps. He implored Roosevelt to do something about it, but according to Karski, Roosevelt merely kept on saying, 'Tell them that the guilty will be punished'. He did not respond to Karski's point that what was need was immediate help.

Hitler killed over 11 million people in the holocaust. the jews couldnt survive this but they did and they are rebuilding the nation as we speak.

The Holocaust was from the beginning an act of ethnic warfare, in which one ethnic group (self-identified as the "Aryan" race) sought to defeat and utterly destroy a different ethnic group, the Jews, whom they viewed as being a competitor of theirs. The reality is that the Aryans acted with truly monstrous selfishness and cruelty which was in some ways worse than any other crime in human history. For some people, the competition continues, and in order to avoid looking bad, they have to deny that the Holocaust happened.

It is worth considering the possibility that some Holocaust deniers simply get a kick out of being 'politically incorrect' and don't believe their own claims.

Incidentally, I don't think the term 'ethnic warfare' is appropriate here at all. Most of the German Jews were sbout as German as German could be - every bit as German as Hermann the German.

That is a question people have been asking ever since the war and there is no good answer. The only thing that can be said is that, sadly, what they did is not unique. History is filled with similar acts of savage barbarism committed by all cultures. From the 1930s to the 1950s Stalin killed over 20,000,000 people in Russia. In the 1970s Pol Pot killed over 2,000,000 people in Cambodia, and it only had 6,000,000 to begin with. The ancient Romans, civilised as we consider them to have been, massacred whole poulations when they thought it to be in their interests and enjoyed

watching people fight to the death in the gladiatorial games.

I think fundamentally the answer is that humans are basically savage in their nature and the veneer of civilization is thin. People can be raised and taught good values but if circumstances arise those values can be cast off very easily. One person, or a small group, doing something reprehensible can be made to be ashamed of it by the majority and that shame keeps people in line. But if *everybody* is doing it, then there is no shame in it, and order collapses.

The actions of the Germans can be put down, not to their own cruelness, but to their obedience to authority, This was shown in a psychological experiment by Milgram, who wanted to investigate the reasons for the obeying of authority during Hitlers regime. He discovered that members of the public would give electric shocks they thought were harmful to other people if told to do so by a man wearing a labcoat. This implies that it is our own obedience to authority that can cause behaviour that culminates in the death of millions.

The 'obedience to authority' defense, at least in the German's case, is a flawed one. If the German massacre of 10 million people, 6 million of them Jews, can be attributed to obedience, then it would be fair to assume that there would be few cases of individual Germans murdering Jews without orders to do so. This, unfortunately, is not the case. Individual cases of German soldiers killing Jews without orders is in the tens of thousands. Many of these killings occurred before the holocaust even began - during the time Jews were imprisoned in Ghettos.

While obedience to authority is a way to "justify" German cruelty (see cognitive dissonance) it does not truly explain it.

Germany was spiritually and morally bankrupt as a nation. It had swapped the gospel of Jesus Christ for humanism. The idea of a master race can not take hold in a God fearing, kindly nation. The people of Germany swapped the true Messiah for Adolf Hitler. Their homes had shrines to him and their state churches had Mein Kampf on the alter instead of the Bible. Their rallies were a moving as a church service and their evangelist was the Fuhrer and his message the gosel of hate. Combine propaganda, godlessness,humanism with hatred and militarism and the world was plunged into darkness and conflict. In his last breaths Hitler was still cursing the Jews before he put a bullet in his head and saw Lucifer face to face. Then he knew God's judgment and met the being that would torment him forever as he had tormented so many others.

However, this "answer" does little to explain the Spanish Inquisition, the massacre of Native Americans by the Puritans, or the crusades; all of which were devout Christians murdering non-Christians because they were different from them.

Germany was in bad shape and Hitler needed a scapegoat to blame every bad thing happening to Germany on. Jews made around 2% of the German population and most of them were much better off than the rest of Germany. Hitler used propaganda to encourage and increase hatred for the Jews.

Nazi's who helped Jews or were sympathetic towards them could be punished or killed - this made sure that most of the Nazi's were cruel to Jews.

I think they did it, as many societies had in the past had done, because they saw Jews as an easy and defenseless group of people who's wealth ( although most of them where probably poor ) - could be re-purposed for the war effort. Therefore they created an almost cult-like society where Jews where demonized - this time not on religious but racial grounds - and used as slave labour and had their property and belongings stolen, so that the Nazi regime could use it for the war. And due to Nazi propaganda and the fact that Jews had probably remained separated from the rest of society for centuries, the Germans had little difficulty in internalizing the disgusting racial lies against the Jews so that they would be more detached from all the atrocities committed against them.

Nazi propaganda told people that the Jews were genetically inferior to the Germans, that they carried disease - and Communism.

Out of blind hatred.

This is a perplexing question that I have been steadily pondering for years. Germany had found herself in a terrible economic state post WWI, and most of the country was living in poverty - like the "I-can't-afford-food poverty." Jewish businesses in general, weathered the storm and continued to operate. Jews tended to be very well educated, motivated, and successful. The Germans saw this as a threat and decided to blame the Jews for all of their problems. The average ignorant German grunt had probably been utterly brainwashed by Adolph Hitler, so he actually believed the Jews were evil. Combine ignorance, depravity, jealousness, hatred, religious prejudice, and Nazi ideals with German ingenuity and efficiency, and you've just baked a hot nasty world war. Honestly though, I'm like you - I can't and probably never will understand how they could have been as disgustingly lowlife, malicious, and putrid as they were - especially the infamous SS. It was really a step backward for humanity, and it just shows you how low we can go. We must never forget, and it must NEVER happen again.

The key problem wasn't so much poverty or jealousy, I think. The real trouble was that the Nazi regime subscribed to conspiracy theories. These claimed that the Jews were scheming to dominate the whole world, mainly by spreading Communism. Despite all the talk about the Jews being inferior, these conspiracy theories claimed that the Jews were diabolically cunning, that they hated Germany and were in competition with Germany's bid to dominate Europe or the world.

As for the question of ignorance, it was often wilful. Until about 1930 Germany prided itself on an outstanding education system ... To cap it all, the commanders three of the four Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units), which slaughtered Jews in open air killings in the former Soviet Union, had doctorates! One, Otto Rasch, even had two ... and is generally referred as Dr. Dr. Rasch. A further 11 senior officers in the mobile killing units also had doctorates.

Yes he did due to the racism of his father, and that was because his father had many fails with the Jewish people.

Very little is known about the views of Hitler's father and there is no evidence for the above. What's more, there is no evidence of antisemitism on Adolf Hitler's part before 1916, when he was aged 28.

Hitler committed suicide in his bunker along with his (new) bride Eva. He bit on a cyanide capsule while pulling the trigger of his 9mm pistol. Both bodies were partially incinerated outside the bunker entrance. The remains were taken by the Russians and were kept secret for many years. They were buried several times in various places before finally being cremated and the ashes scattered in secret. The Russians still hold several artifacts from the body.

cos she did.

They did horrible things like e.g. they would beat people until they were almost dead, then put them in a massive hole in the ground and then run over them with a massive tractor, and bury them alive. (That is if they didn't get squashed before they were buried alive.)

Hitler had no regrets. He never expressed any regrets for any of his crimes. On the contrary, in the last days of his life in the Bunker, he became increasingly arrogant. He even said that the Germans had shown themselves unworthy of him and his leadership! In other words he committed suicide claiming that he'd been too good for the Germans.

they get murderd

Millions of people were killied. Many wonderful people lost, families torn apart, etc., but we also learn lessons from it =:)

One consequence of the Holocaust is quite obviously the countless people who died in the genocide. British troops were sent into a concentration camp in Belsen after this event has finished, 60,000 people were found being starved and a further 27,000 unburied bodies that had already been killed. No doubt the other 60,000 people alive if left any longer could of died. Another consequence is that Hitler and the Nazi's hatred of Non-Aryans may continue to be thought as a good idea in the future and that may have devastating effect on the world.

_____________

Millions of Jews died and many others. Hitler wanted the Germans to be the "Superior race."Many other families lost jobs and family. Children died at the concentration and death camps.

The Nazis often liked to tortuure the Jews before their death. They would be gassed, or shot on he spot. (: Hope that helps!

Warsaw, it was the largest Jewish ghetto of all.

Ghettos, or Jewish quarters were only a problem to those living in them; there was a much greater chance of death.

they faced torcher chambers and rifle lines for the fun of the germans

8-9 November 1923 the beer hall putsch or Munich Putsch Two days after the putsch, Hitler was arrested and charged with high treason he obviously wasnt hanged while in jail he wrote "mein kampf" (my struggle) however he was also in September 1921, he and some SA had disrupted a meeting of the Bayernbund, and the Nazis who had gone there to cause trouble were arrested as a result. Hitler had ended up serving a little over a month of a three-month jail sentence

The original plan (fostered largely by Adolph Eichmann) was to ship all Jews in Europe to Madagascar. This was quickly determined to be logistically impossible. Then, at the Wansee Conference, the plan known as "The Final Solution" was devised. In short, it was to exterminate all "useless" Jews (children, the old and the ill) and work to death all of the remainder in labor valuable to the Reich. There is some debate as to exactly who's idea this first was (Reinhard Heidrich? Heinrich Himmler?) but there is no question that Adolph Hitler approved it, even if he made sure the decision to do it could not be directly connected to him. By 1943 Himmler was already making a speech about "the total extermination of the Jewish race".

The theme of the Nazis trying to create a society free of Jews.

Multiple diplomats used their official channels and powers to save Jews from the impending slaughter at the hands of the Germans and their proxies during the Second World War. Diplomats such as Raoul Wallenberg of Sweden secured transit visas for Jews to exit these countries to safety.

life in the ghetto was very bad many people died there plus there was no running water so when the used the rest room it would stay there and smell bad. There was no food so many people would try to sneak out of the ghetto but would only fell.

Kristallnacht had many purposes. Among them are the following:

1) Engaging Germans in Anti-Semitism: Although Hitler was popular and his reforms pleased many Germans, there was still substantial resistance to the notion that Jews should be treated drastically worse than everybody else. Kristallnacht created a way for those who were "on-the-fence" to join in with the Anti-Semitic Acts and feel like they were a part of something larger.

2) Setting the Tone: Hitler carefully calculated how much Anti-Semitism he could bring about at any one time so that his population would not be alienated by a rapid shift in policy. Kristallnacht set a new tone which showed that Jews could no longer truly be safe in the Nazi State, even if they were denied all of their rights. This laid the groundwork for the re-ghetto-ization of the Jewish communities and eventual exterminations of those communities.

3) Promulgating Fear: Outside of the Nazi Leadership, nobody expected Kristallnacht and its outburst made many Jews fearful of what could happen to them in the future. The not-knowing made it especially painful.

4) Lower Human Emotions: Greed, Power, Zealotry and other highly charged emotions also formed rationales for the actions on Kristallnacht.
