Holocaust

The Holocaust wasn't a war. Please see the related questions.

In terms of numbers, Jews were the largest single group killed in the Holocaust. However, many other groups were persecuted and murdered too. The first to be systematically murdered, before the establishment of the camps, were the disabled and mentally ill. Other groups to join Jews in the camps included homosexuals, Roma, Sinti, Jehova's Witnesses, Catholic and other Priests, Communists, Socialists, Trade Unionists, Anarchists, Pacifists, People of Colour, criminals, POWs and various Eastern European nationalities, including Poles, Slavs and others. Basically, anyone the Nazis considered racially impure, genetically inferior, a burden on society or a threat to the Nazi Party.

There are many, but a few are:

Typhus - caused by bacteria and infection carrying fleas and lice

Typhoid - caused by drinking contaminated water

Beriberi - caused by a lack of thiamine(vitamin b1)

it has been estimated that Nazi forces killed 60 million people

They didn't quite believe what they said they were fighting for, but they needed a scape goat to get away with what they were doing.

I have a recommendation for anyone viewing this; look at Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment! It shows that good people, when put in a bad situation, usually act out the role and go with the crowd.

Anne was separated from her dad when she got to her second concentration camp. she thought she saw him go to the gas chambers so she assumed he was already dead. after she was separated from her mother too, she assumed her mother died too (which actually did happen from starvation). she was left with only her sister, Margot, until Margot died. a few days later Anne died, at age 15, of Typhus five days before the war was over. What could have saved her was the knowledge that her father was in fact alive. she left her father alone.

I'd first have to ask, "which Germans?" Some Germans who thought cause of "aryan" (in Nazi doctrine, a Caucasian of non-Jewish, esp. Nordic, descent) supremacy a viable one, felt demise of Jews was necessary and justifiable. Many other Germans who were able to maintain personal convictions of equality among humans in a time of pervasive persecution against such thinking, helped to save many Jews from the chambers and work within underground organizations that moved Jews to safe locations. There's quite a lot evidence that Nazi anti-semitism wasn't that popular in Germany. However, the terror machine (as well as all kinds of other difficulties) meant that very few Germans were able to give practical help to Jews in WW2.

It all happened on November 9, 1938 when violence against Jews broke out across the Reich. It appeared to be unplanned anger over the assassination of a German official in Paris at the hands of a Jewish teenager but the fact was that German propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and other Nazis carefully organized the pogroms. The morning after, German Jewish men were arrested for the crime of being Jewish and sent to concentration camps.

No. At first they just had to wear yellow stars of David so that people would know they were Jews, then certain shops started closing their doors to Jews, there were benches that said "no Jews allowed" and parks that Jews could not walk in. Then the Nazis took them and either killed them quickly or made them suffer long horrible deaths in the camps.

In the Netherlands, Jews were required to wear the yellow star by the Nazi-dominated government there as of May 2, 1942.

For purposes of clarification: An earlier equivalent decree applicable to Germany (including Austria and the absorbed Czech areas) came into effect on September 19, 1941.

Dissidents could be sent to a concentration camp. For example, the writer Armin T. Wegner, who wrote to Hitler in April 1933 calling for an immediate halt to all anti-Jewish measures and who argued that they were bringing Germany into disrepute, was arrested and sent without charge or trial to a concentration camp and savagely beaten. He was moved from one camp to another, with the result that he was subjected to the brutal 'initiation ceremonies' at a number of camps. He was released after about a year thanks partly to a sustained campaign by the "Manchester Guardian".

Yes led. One historian who has made this his specialty (Richard Plant) estimates somewhere between 50,000 and 63,000 gay men were killed in the concentration camps.

To make matters worse, when the camps were liberated at the end of the war, Allied military authorities determined that homosexuals who had been imprisoned for homosexual acts had not completed their sentences, and these survivors of the Nazi concentration camps were returned to civilian prison to compete their sentences.

because he didnt think that they were worth living. To gt the world a better place he just killed them

In both cases the answer is no. However, after Italy surrendered in 1943, much of the country was occupied by the Nazis and they deported Italian Jews to Auschwitz. The Japanese, who were almost entirely unfamiliar with the long-standing "Christian" tradition of antisemitism found the Nazi attitude towards the Jews very puzzling.

About 30 million.

The people who perpetrated the killings were either in the military or the para-military and followed a command structure, generally the orders to kill were given by a superior and to question orders in the time of war was a dangerous thing to do.

During WWII a small number of US servicemen had "Dog Tags" marked with "H" for Hebrew were and some of these were executed on the spot. There were also a few (about 300 to 500) that were removed from POW camps, placed into labor camps, maltreated and some were placed into the exterminaction camps. The figures are unclear, but the consensus on both the German and American side is that "a few hundred Jewish servicemen were exterminated". Several thousand US citizens were trapped in Germany when the war began. Some were Jewish, and many were unable to escape. _______ On the whole, the Nazis were cautious in their treatment of U.S. and British and Commonwealth servicemen taken prisoner. However, many Jewish American prisoners of war went sent to Stalag IX-B, where they were treated extremely badly. Some were sent to Berga (Thuringia), which was a sub-camp of Buchenwald. Please see link.

they would be worked or beaten to death. Later, when the extermination camps were established they would be shipped out for extermination.

No, it would not be possible. How can hanging be justice for years of [mere words cannot explain the extent of their crimes]?

* He plunged Europe and other parts of the world into an unwinnable war. * The way he fought the war caused immense damage to Germany's reputation. * As a result of the lost war about 11.7 million Germans were expelled from Eastern Europe and the more easterly parts of Germany.

The first group of Jews was sent to Auschwitz in March 1942.
