Holocaust

Jews were deprived of privileges amongst the community. I suppose you could say that they were 'segregated.' Like you said, Jews were not allowed in many shops, they had to be indoors by around 5-6 PM, and they were not allowed to ride public transport. What I find really quite sickening was how Jewish children were treated. For instance, I read a brief story of this Holocaust survivor, who wrote that she was a Jew who attended a German school. She went on to explain that every lesson, she had to turn her desk around to face the back of the wall, and that she could not contribute in lessons. Jewish men and women were not allowed in markets, or allowed to walk on the pavement and visit their hairdressers. Jews were not allowed to visit the cinema, the park, etc. In fact, people became so suspicious and obsessed with the 'amount' of Jews within Germany that the general public began stopping, searching and inspecting anyone on the streets who didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes (the perfect Aryan description). For instance, the Hitler Youths (Hitler's young soldier's) would demand anyone they suspected of being a Jew to recite the Hail Mary. If the child or adult could not do so, they would be beaten.

First of all, like many others have said, the "final solution" was the holocaust. The decision to exterminate Jews wasn't immediately decided upon, simply removing the Jews from Germany to another place (I believe Madagascar was one of the places, but I'm not 100% sure) was another option that was considered. The final solution was decided at the Wannsee Conference, a meeting of the Senior officials of the Nazi regime on January 20, 1942 that decided the "final solution to the Jewish problem."

He actually had other groups killed systematically, such as gypsies, homosexuals and mentally handicapped people. However, he chose some groups and not others because he was a racist who believed that some groups of people should live and others should die.

Yes, realistically many of the German people, while aware that the Jews were being deported (and persecuted), were probably not aware that they were being systematically slaughtered. The Nazi party did not publicize what they were doing and took great pains to build their slaughter factories outside Germany and in remote locations. The two concentration camps in Germany, while terrible places, were not annihilation centres

Yes, they stopped believing in God because they said if there was a God it would help them in a situation like that.

only a small fraction held that opinion. Most kept their faith.

This sort of question is hard to generalise because much depended on the fascist zeal of the commander involved in making that decision. In one solitary documented case, an SS guard couldn't handle the moral aspects of his work at a death camp and was transferred elsewhere quietly.

Elisabeth (Betsie) and Nollie were her sisters, and a brother, Willem. Also, Corrie had a brother named Hendrik Jan who died in infancy and is not mentioned in The Hiding Place.

The Holocaust could in fact happen again. Actually, Joseph Stalin caused a "Holocaust" which he called Ethnic Cleansing. Of couse nowadays we have Holocaust rememberence day during which we try to prevent any future Holocaust.
Yes it could. If what happened in Rwanda could happen in our enlightened times anything is possible. There was also Bosnia and the killing fields of Cambodia. Sadly, yes it could.

marot was 2 year older than anne so she was 15

Hitler blamed, as you say, Jews and Communists. In many of his speeches he made no distinction between them. He also blamed the Social Democrats, conventional conservatives, liberals, pacifists and homosexuals. He was particularly hostile to those who had signed the armistice in 1918.

The Nazi's were mean and were anti-semenitists.

They believed people of the Jewish faith wereen't normal and not ment for the Aryan race.

The Nazi's also tied in with the mistreatment to the Jewish people in history - for example passover or the time of moses

I'm going to assume your talking about The Diary of Anne Frank;

Peter believes that the star that the Germans had forced Jews to sew to their clothes was a sign of their power, once he removed it, he felt like he was no longer being kicked around by the Germans.

Many Nazi death camps were in Poland. The camps murdered millions of Jews, most in gas chambers. They cremated the human remains. Tens of thousands of metric pounds of human ashes were given to Polish farmers to spread among their fields as fertilizer. The rest were either buried or dumped into nearby rivers.

by meaning 1 hut, i think you mean either How many people were in 1 concentration camp or 1 hut as a gas chamber at Auschwitz I

well i tell both

Depending on which concentration camp, theirs hundreds of them with spaces but i use a popular common camp and that is Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Auschwitz II-Birkenau has a max cap of 2.1 million people.

Red house hut was a hut only for gas chamber prisoners and it could kill up to 12,500 prisoners at a time

Read mein kampf by Adolph Hitler on the following link to give you an idea of his rat bag philosophy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Kampf

I really want to say France because he would constantly bicker about them in his second book, Zweites Buch.

Everyone. It was created by the Nazis in 1940. All Jews in Warsaw were ordered into the ghetto, and all non-Jews were ordered out. (Note that it was not the existing, prewar Jewish district, but an area close to a large railhead, for onward deportation).

Historically, the Jewish people had been ill-treated and harassed out of almost every country they had ever lived in. In particular, in Europe, the Holocaust resulted in 6,000,000 Jewish civilian deaths and an untold number of European Jews being forced out of their homes. The people who returned found that the population that came back was now intolerant of them. In the Arab World, Jews had been second-class citizens who had to pay special taxes and had fewer rights at law. When the Europeans came in and colonized the Middle East, they granted the Jews facial equality, which angered many Muslim Arabs and drew the Jews close to the colonizers. As the European countries began to give the Arab World independence, Jews were treated horribly for their connection to the former colonial infrastructure.

Since most of world Jewry was in either Europe or the Arab World, those push factors drove a large percentage of Jews to find a new place to live. They wanted a country where being Jewish was no longer a detriment, so they went to the British Mandate of Palestine because that territory was established with the intent of creating just such a Jewish homeland.

adolf Hitler was the dictator of nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945. he blames the Jews for the destruction of their country after world war 1 and everybody believes him. he had power also.

Of all the people the Nazis persecuted the Christians, Catholics and other religious leaders were left for last on their list. The policy of Hitler and other Nazis was to leave them alone as long as they did not object to what the Nazis were doing. They did not like the fanatic Christians opposing them and being verbal or using the media to proclaim how evil and cruel the Nazis really were. There was even a movement which called Hitler the Antichrist. So they started imprisoning and killing the Christians. The famed author and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a victim of the Nazi policy. He promoted the concept the people needed to live as godly Christians, help the Jews and other things. The Catholic Priests had problems with the Nazis too. For more detailed information see the related link below.

The Holocaust camps differed in the ways they treated prisoners after they passed the selection that degrades and dehumanizes them. Sometimes the prisoners were forced to do hard labor and other times they were killed.
