Holocaust

The holocaust was a devasting event for all Jewish people and among decent minded people world wide. Jews who lost relatives in the death camps went through experiences that other people can only imagine about because of the cruelty of the Nazi Party during WW2 and in Germany prior to the war itself. There are few words in this limited forum to discuss what hundreds of books on this subject have covered on the holocaust. What immediately comes to mind is one salvation of sorts, which was the establishment of Israel in 1948.

He was struggling as an artist and homeless before he joined the German Army in WW1. After the war was over, and the Treaty of Versailles was signed, Hitler was outraged, and became a political activist.

The exact definition taken from dictionary.com Below the human race in evolutionary development. Regarded as not being fully human. The term is more of a direct reference to actions or a metaphore. To explain someone as subhuman would mean they are either, by action or moral implication, doing something that is deamed inhumane. Ex: The serial killer who murdered 50 women across 3 states by beheading and dismembering his victims, was described as "subhuman" by the prosecutor of the state.

assuming that you mean how many were dead there, as opposed to anywhere else or had died at any other time: Almost all of the dead that had died before the 19th had been disposed of, so the only dead were from those too weak to march out of there in the (just over a) week before they were liberated. The figure i think is about two thousand.

Shoah is a Biblical word which means "Calamity" that was started in use in the 1940's by Jewish people to refer to the Holocaust. Shoah (שואה) is also spelled Sho'ah and Shoa.

The holocaust museum started being built in 1980 and opened in 1993.

In the beginning the influence was limited but as tension grew :

Periods with curfew

Period without police and thus increased crime

Threat of retaliation murders by nazi terror groups

Yes, though rather late. Poland resisted Hitler's demands and was invaded in September 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939 in response to the invasion of Poland.

Apparently, Dr Joseph Goebbels was responsible for the Kristallnacht in 1938.

Although, some say otherwise, believing that the Kristallnacht was started by the example set by numerous pairs of strangers entering German cities, making anti-Jewish speeches and attacking Jewish shops and businesses.

Historians of the period have no doubt that it was Goebbels.

As of 2018, Holocaust survivor Jeannine Burk (born September 15, 1939), is believed to still be alive. She was last interviewed in 2011.

A German man called Oskar Schindler is one man who helped the Jews although it started out for profit because Jew labour was cheap. In the end though he ended up penniless from bribes and black-market purchases for the Schindlerjuden, or Schindler's Jews. Another person was Irene Gut Opdyke, a Polish nurse who throughout the war was captured, beaten and raped. A lot more people helped despite the dangers.

During the Holocaust, Jews were made to wear a yellow star of David, or a white armband with a blue Star of David on it.

Genocide .

European Jews 5,600,000 to 6,250,000 Soviet prisoners of war 3,000,000 Polish Catholics 3,000,000 Serbians 700,000 (Croat Ustasa persecution) Roma, Sinti, and Lalleri 222,000 to 250,000 Germans (political, religious, and Resistance) 80,000 Germans (handicapped) 70,000 Homosexuals 12,000 Jehovah's Witnesses 2500

It was a six-pointed Star of David, about the size of a human palm, and yellow in color. And it was not worn on the arm, it was worn on the left breast of the outer garment.

During the Holocaust Jews were required to wear yellow star of david's on the chest and back of their clothing.

The children were gassed with their mothers.

The United States did not ignore the Holocaust. The world didn't really know that the Holocaust was occurring. That's the way it works with a regime. Information doesn't get in or out. The rest of the world simply knew that Nazi Germany was fighting other nations. When tales of the Holocaust did get out, it sounded so horrifying that people didn't believe it could be possible. America did not ignore the War either. We were in it far before GI's ever shipped out. We gave a great deal of financial support to the Allies, which is one of the reasons Pearl Harbor occurred. But without knowledge of the Holocaust, America thought it was just another European war. We thought it was just a turf war, and as such was none of our business. That's why America stayed out of it. But we didn't ignore it. Read about the Holocaust. It was a massive event. Not knowing about it today is ignoring it. You need to delve deeper than simply asking a question to people you don't even know over the internet.
