Holocaust

Between 1933 and 1941 the U.S. accepted about 250,000 refugees from Germany and Austria and a small number fleeing the Nazis from other countries. The majority of these were Jews (as defined by the Nazis), but some of the refugees were political opponents of the Nazis and were not Jews.

There were six extermination (or 'death') camps in the Holocaust which were located at: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka.

That is the 'accepted list', but the role of Majdanek is not clear and there was also an extermination camp at Maly Trostinets near Minsk.

• On 30 January 1933 Hitler became the chancellor of Germany.
• April 1933. Boycott of Jewish businesses (on 1st April). Jewish businesses forbidden to advertise. Most Jews dismissed from employment in the public sector in Germany and most Jewish students expelled from university. Harsh quotas imposed on numbers of Jews in most professions.
• Jews banned from working for the media and the stage.
• The Jews were stripped of German citizenship by the Nuremberg Laws in

  September 15, 1935.

• 1938 Jews banned completely from many professions. Forbidden to own firearms. Passports stamped with a large J.
• Kristallnacht on 9 November 1938 ended busines by Jews and the first mass arrests with 30,000 Jews sent to concentration camps.
• Jews banned from owning businesses.
• In 1939 Poland is invaded and the ghettos are established.
• 1939 (September onwards, in Germany) In most big cities Jews were ordered to move into designated Jewish apartment blocks. Curfews imposed on Jews. Forbidden to own radios, cars or even bicycles.
• The 1941 attack on the USSR, and the Einsatzgruppen are let loose against the countryside where they murdered more than a million Jews.
• 20 January 1942 - the Wannsee Conference co-ordinated the framework

  for the systematic extermination of the Jews.

• The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, 1943.
• Hitler kills himself on 30 April 1945.
• The Holocaust ended on V-E Day, 8 May 1945.

now you get into semantics:

you have the figure for the number of deaths, but the number of victims is much more:

there are some schools of thought that the children of Holocaust survivors as well as the survivors themselves should be counted as victims.

but if you're asking how many Jews died in ww2, around 6 million

___

The notion that the children of survivors are 'oh-so-traumatized' is the ultimate in half-witted psychobabble. It is plain ridiculous.

This kind of view was quite common among extreme nationalists and you can still find it today ...

He thought that their first loyalty was to brothers of their faith rather than to the state. He would talk about a 'global Jewish conspiracy' and the like.

By removing them of their citizenship he took control of the issue.

There were more social and political issues involved, it was another step along the 'us and them' path.

When it came to the exterminations; one issue that people on both sides had with the killing of the (German) gypsies was that they were Germans killing Germans, at this time no one considered any Jew to be German.

The single most important thing is that despite the systematic murder of six millioin of their people, the Jews remained united and did not fall away into the corners of the earth.

Please have a look at the related question.

The Holocaust. It was not only a time of Jewish persecution, but of gypsies, every person who stood up for those being persecuted, anyone who was different, and anyone not of the "Arian Race," which was blue-eyed and blonde haired. People often forget that it was not just 6 million Jews who died, but every other innocent person. It is estimated that between 11 million and 17 million people died in the Holocaust.

He held it together by: 1. Terror 2. Propaganda 3. Youth 4. Workforce 5. Religion 6. Racism

ANSWER

he got to this position in the 1st place because he managed to brainwash the German public into believing his idea of a great Germany by using already placed seeds of racism and propaganda(as the poster above says)

anyone who got or could get in his way he would have killed or threaten to have killed, until they were either dead and gone or so frightened they would stand down and that's how he kept it

dictators get to power with promises and lies

and always rule with fear and threats and telling everyone how they should live (hence dictator)

Hitler gained power Because the Germans were starving and were demoralized after the loss of ww1. He was the only one that managed to put people to work and improve the lives of the German people. once in power and popular the rest was just a mater of propaganda and intimidation. If you belonged to the wrong group or race or were opposed you were in mortal danger so you kept your mouth shut and pretended to belong with the mob. He worked along the lines used in the war on terror. imprisonment without trial and invasion of country's under false pretext etc.

Basically, the National Socialists under Hitler first managed to form a minority government-they only ever received 34% of the national vote. They were able to declare emergency rule when the Reichstag-the German Parliamentary building was set on fire. With this they were able to take total control of every corner of society. They were 'popular' because they got a demoralized economy and society back to work with a mass public works system. They were sucessful in quashing criticism and blaming sections of the population like Jews, Liberals, Communists etc. Free press was violently quashed and pretty soon fear sets in and everyone says 'Hitler is great' because they believe it/fear/there is no other opinion.

The only problem Hitler had was fuelling his economic expansion-he needed natural resources and this meant expansionist policies and that meant going after the coal in Alsace-Lorraine, iron and steele in Poland and the wheat basket of Czech Republic etc.

Most Jews from Western Europe, Poland and Hungary were sent to extermination camps and gassed as soon as practical after arrival. Most Jews in the Ukraine, Lithuania and Latvia were shot in mass open-air shootings ...

The proportion of Jews 'selected' for work was much smaller, and this happened mainly at Auschwitz. (From late 1944 on, many inmates at Auschwitz were moved to Buchenwald and Belsen).

Some Jews had been sent to camps early as political subversives, rather than as Jews, and these tended to be at Dachau and Buchenwald.

For the names of the extermination camps, please see the related question.

A t the beginning of World War 1, Nazi leaders made the â??Final solution concerning the Jewsâ??, and it was to annihilate the Jewish people. Under the command of Reinhard Heydrich, the special strike forces known as the â??Einsatzgruppenâ?? rounded up the Polish Jews and settled them in congested ghettos.

The same as Jews and Gays and we all know what happened there.

Just before the end of the second world war the Nazis tried to burn down the concentration camps so that there would be no evidence of what they did. This was not done very successfully as you can still go and visit some of the concentration camps such as Auschwitz.

The Nazis started to move Jews into ghettos in Poland in November 1939.

The British White Paper of 1939, effectively banning all Jewish migration to the Mandate of Palestine, was still in effect after the Holocaust. It was not until the State of Israel was established that ships bringing Holocaust survivors to the area were legally permitted. However, during the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-1949, the Israeli government lost control of the Old City and Jordan forcibly evicted all of the Jewish residents of the Old City. It would not be until 1967 and the Israeli reunification of the city that Holocaust survivors would be able to go to the Old City of Jerusalem.

Some were religious and Orthodox Jews, some were Reform Jews; some held no real religious convictions, some were atheists, some had converted to Christianity, some were the children or grandchildren of mixed marriages who were now 'tainted' in the eye of Nazism. They were all doomed.

So the Germans could work the Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, etc. until they were sick/dead.

Most of the concentration camps were converted to death camps near the end of the war to increase the amount of Jews they could kill per day (which was up to 3,000 at some camps).

None. In the end they were accepted as refugees by Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Obviously, in the case of the last three countries it was only a temporary respite.

The three major Axis powers, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan were part of a military alliance on the signing of the Tripartite Pact in September 1940, which officially founded the Axis powers.

the Jews had various jobs for instance the rabbi is a speaker at a church and that's all i know <(-_-)> =_= :) :( 0.o 0.0 ^_^ >_> <_<

lol

Auschwitz was a real-life concentration and extermination camp from the Second World War. John Boyce had Bruno refer it it phonetically as 'Out-With' to showcase his innocence and naivety.

It was horrible beacause they were separated from there family's. They had to listen to the nazis or else they could end up died. most of them died beacause of the condintions they were living in.

Many people in different countries have grown up with anti-Jewish influences around them. However, they generally haven't later become hysterically antisemitic, let alone murdered Jews. It is futile to look for any single overriding influence in childhood. The real question seems to how and why his ordinary antisemitism became interwoven with all kinds of weird and fanciful conspiracy theories.

The youngest victim of the holocaust was a two-year-old child named Paulina Klibanski. She was born in the odz Ghetto in 1940 and died in the Chemno extermination camp in 1942. Paulina Klibanski was one of the more than 1.1 million children killed during the Holocaust. Among the youngest victims of the Holocaust were:

• Paulina Klibanski (2 years old)
• Ruth Dorfmann (3 years old)
• Josef Feigelson (4 years old)
• Eliyahu Rosenberg (4 years old)
• Edith Schwalb (4 years old)
