Holocaust

About 300 prisoners (not all of them Jews) escaped successfully from Auschwitz. However, it was the biggest camp ... One also needs to compare the figure with the number of victims killed there - which was at least 1.1 million.

They deprived Jews of all civil rights and started the Holocaust.

Flossenbuerg concentration camp (please note the unusual spelling, with a u Umlaut) is in a remote part of Bavaria, near the border with the Czech Republic. From Weiden, Germany take road 22 to Neustadt an der Waldnaab. Go through the town past the Rathaus. At the split, take the right toward Stoernstein and Floss. You will see the ruins of the Flossenbuerg castle tower, a few miles before you reach the town. As you drive up the steep street you will see a memorial cemetery containing concentration camp inmates who died after liberation. Most of the way up the hill, follow the road to the right. You may notice a sign saying KZ Denkmal. Turn right and keep going. Park across from the woman's clothing outlet and start the tour at the Commendant Building (huge, built from granite). Perhaps your first impression will be that the land that the camp was on has been used for private housing and industry, almost completely covering up the concentration camp. An effort has been made to document the suffering that took place here. I visited on Feb 27, 2008 See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: Flossenbuerg Concentration Camp" to the bottom for the answer.

It means that the camp was taken out of the hands of the SS guards, who were arrested and that the SS had no opportunity of regaining control of the camp or the prisoners.

For the prisoners it meant release, but most of them needed a lot of medical attention before they could actually do very much: many of them were ill and all of them were badly undernourished. A high death rate from malnutrition and desease continued for several weeks after the camps were liberated.

The main groups which were effected by Mengele's Experiments were the Jews , Twins (Mainly Children Twins) and Family's with Physical Abnormalities. He did experiments like trying to die people's eyes and Amputations of Limbs.

Homosexuals were not "a problem in the Holocaust." However, homosexual people were categorized as misfits, worthy of extinction by Adolf Hitler. They were forced to wear pink triangles to identify them and were brutally executed, along with the Jewish and other groups Hitler found to taint his vision of a pure blood Caucasian (white) utopian society.

When the Germans came to send the Jews to the ghetto, Bronia's family and friends hid in a bunker that the Nazis later stuffed cloth into the breathing holes. 10 people died, but not Bronia. She ended up hiding a a mans house. His name was joeseph. They hid in Canada until the war was over.

Jews dug their own graves by using shovels or sometimes with their own bare hands. This was used because as an act of torture and then used for killings. The Nazis did this because they didn't want to get their own hands dirty.

Calling it 'Eating' is quite misleading. But it was three times in a day, they were served 'tea' and soup.

Different categories of prisoner would be given different rations. The Jew's ration of 200 Calories per day was almost never met, as though this much food was ordered, often some would be spoiled and that which was not spoiled would often be reduced by anyone picking the best bits before it got to the end-user.

Because they disobeyed God (Elohim). There Fathers Father were the reason. God place the punishment on there children children. Oh yeaah remember the lady crying for Gods son Yeshua (Jesus) He told her don't cry for me but cry for your children children. He was letting her know His Father was going to punish them for there sins.

Jewish children were not allowed in the same schools as German children and were not even allowed an education after 1942, they were bullied by German kids and German teachers also they did not have any individuality as they were not allowed that privilege and were even hung for speaking ill of Hitler. But times were tough what can you do?

she jumped off the window of the train with her broher and sister and they both died because the people who were helping Hitler shot them nd she servived with her friend..sadly her brother was blind and couldn't jump off

German authorities selected a populated neighborhood, one with many buildings and structures, and put a large fence around it. The fenced areas were large though, so there was plenty of space for a well amount of 5,000 Jews (more or less) to abide in. The only legal exit for a Jew from these fenced areas was by a train. SS were constantly patrolling the borders of the fence to make sure no Jews were to sneak out and escape to the publicity of the rest of the world.

In a major holocaust, mass butchering takes place, irrespective of caste, creed or religion. All sorts of human rights are violated. Specially the basic and most fundamental 'Right to Live' is grossly denied. This is the most tragic part of any holocaust.

'irrespective of caste, creed or religion'? No, certain groups are targeted. It isn't random spree-killing.

The Holocaust has had one great impact on theology. It has showed us the destructive effects of thanking God. The Jews (and Christians and Muslims) often put God into the events of their lives. If a man decides to become a teacher, believers of those three religions say that God's plan for him was to be a teacher, and that he found his vocation. If their crops succeed, they say that God has blessed them with their crops. However, when we attribute our worldly successes to God's love for us (or to a reward for our good deeds, or to some other divine intervention), then when we fail in life, we are met with a question. Why is God no longer intervening to help us? Some say that is is because God is teaching us, that is, punishing us for something wrong we have done. Some say that it is because God is testing us (testing our faith). Some say that God is making our happiness (when it will come) more meaningful by having it be preceded by suffering. Some say that God is showing us (in a way that we did not expect) what our vocation is. Some even say that God has forgotten us, or that God is evil (which is absurd). But the Holocaust denied the possibility of the first four ideas. The Jews had done nothing wrong to deserve the Holocaust (and if they had, God would have punished them in such a way long before then). And it was quite hard for Holocaust victims to believe that God was testing their faith. Did God value faith so much that he would put people through the Holocaust just to test it? And why did he pick that specific time to test the Jews' faith so cruelly? And after a few months, why would God not accept that the Jews had faith and liberate them? The third idea also could not be true; it was apparent to most Jews in the Holocaust that their experience in the Holocaust, even if they survived, was enough to prevent any future happiness ever (although not for Viktor Frankl, one survivor). And if God had created the Holocaust to make future happiness more meaningful, why did he do this so severly only once in the history of the world and only to the Jews living in Europe? And finally, the Holocaust experience could hardly serve to show Jews their vocation; there is no vocation to be had in a slave camp full of death. Because the Jews had been so used to attributing worldly happenings to God (e g they would thank God for the food they received), and becaue it is absurd to think that God is cruel, most Jews of the Holocaust concluded that there was no God. And their conclusion evidenced the real danger of attributing wordly happenings to God, that is of thanking God: if we thank God for success, then how do we explain failure but by atheism? But the Holocaust victims' conclusion that there is no God is not entirely logical. We are certain now that there is no God who in any way affects the happenings of the world, but there could still be a God who does not "touch" the world at all. This makes sense. Christians, Jews, and Muslims all believe in free will (except Calvinists). So couldn't the events of the world be the result of people's choices? The Holocaust, then, occured because the collective decisions of people caused it to happen. And if there is no free will, we can attribute the Holocaust to the laws of physics, psychology, etc., which (as fatalists say) have caused every event in the universe, rather than to decisions on the part of God. In short, the Holocaust has showed us that God does not in any way affect the happenings of the world and it is dangerous to believe that he does.

Leading Nazis at the Wannsee Conference called the plan for killing the Jews the Final Solution (Endloesung) to the Jewish Question. I do not think there is any record that Hitler actually participated in the planning, though he must have done so. Hitler was certainly antisemitic and his antisemitism led to Germany devoting enormous resources to the extermination of the Jews even when those resources would more rationally have been allocated to the military in the latter stages of the war.

Hilter believed that the Jews were the root of all evil and because he was a dictator he could do whatever he wanted as long as he had the support of his country. Hilter blammed the Jews for what had happened during WW1 and he used this to turn every German agaist the Jews. With a whole country behind him, he was able to kill 11 million people, 7 million of them were Jews.

High-status prisoners often had reasonable accommodation, but the rest were often held in dungeons.

It was a part of the 'intake' process to the camps. Persons determined to be of no value as labor would be sent for immediate extermination, the old, the very young, the ill and the infirm were of little or no value to the Nazi slave labor camps. Sometimes people were saved because a certain skill was in short supply like cobblers, or tailors or machinists. It was an important part of the program to exploit fully anyone of use before they were killed.

Routine selections were carried only out at Auschwitz, not at other camps. At extermination camps, a very small number of men were sometimes selected to help sort valuables and get rid of the corpses, but the point of these camps was industrial-style killing. All other camps were, by definition, forced labour camps.

The Jews were moved into the new extermination camps. That is why they lived in the ghetto. The Germans only built the ghettos because they didnt have means of the transportation to take the Jews to the camps they saw it as a way to temporarily solve the Jewish "problem".

They were taken to extermination camps and killed.

By 1941, the Nazis began building Chelmno, the first extermination camp (also called death camp), in order to "exterminate" both Jews and Gypsies. In 1942, three more death camps were built (Treblinka, Sobibor, and Belzec) and used solely for mass murder. Around this time, killing centers were also added at the concentration camps of Auschwitz and Majdanek. So i would say 6 or more.

Hitler first targeted the Jews in 1933 when he becomes Chancellor of Germany. When he promoted himself to fuhrer of Germany after the previous fuhrers death in 1934, he began to take more extreme actions by making laws which isolated Jews from modern German society and treated them as criminals and crooks.
