Why did the Nazis treat the Jews the way they did?
Hitler wanted to rule Europe, but there had been some degree of financial sanctions against Germany following WW1, plus the fact that the WORLD had been facing a financial depression since the early 30's. Hitler wanted to fund his war, so he selected outsiders, anyone who might not be considered to be mainstream German such as the Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, black (not many in Pre-war Germany) and others. He then captured all of their wealth, including money, property, even the gold fillings in their teeth. Eugenics was popular back then. Some respected scientists had suggested that there were some who were naturally inferior. Hitler just ran with that concept, using it to fund his war. He and his henchmen were the very definition of evil.

What is interesting about the Nazis?
I can tell you something that interests me: me being someone who was not born until long after the end of the Second World War, but whose heart goes out to everyone who suffered and/or died during that time.
Why did the Holocaust happen? There are many answers, none of them comprehensive. But after studying the history of the period for a very long time, one idea stays with me.
How could anyone do to anyone what the Germans did to the Jews of Europe? It seems to me that the Nazi ideology required adherents to murder large parts of their own psyches. Huge parts of the Nazi's inner birthright as a human being had to be suppressed, cut off, destroyed, suppressed. Compassion, for instance. And everything that seemed "feminine", such as emotions, especially love and empathy. (Nazis hated women. Even now, there is a word in German, 'weiblich', that sounds as if it should mean 'feminine', but really it means 'stupid'.) The German man who was trying to belong to the Nazi community was deeply ashamed of these parts of himself, and terrified of them. If they were seen by others, he would be rejected by the group he longed to merge with.
Carl Jung taught the world about the power of projection: how each of us can see in the outer world only what exists inside of us. Our image of another person is not truly them: it is our own projection, a manifestation before our eyes of what already exists within us. If the thing we see was not part of our own self, we would not recognize it in the outside world.
I believe that the Nazis projected their own Shadow onto the Jews of Europe. That is, the part of themselves that frightened them, that they rejected, that they would do anything rather than accept as a part of their own selves. Jews were Other; they were individualistic, not joiners, not belong-ers. They were helpless, many of them were poor. Many of them were intellectual or artistic. All of these were qualities that Naziism rejected, and that individual Nazis rejected inside themselves. Nazis were required to be masculine, powerful, anti-intellectual, without doubts or secret thoughts of any kind. They longed to be exactly the same as the man marching next to them: witness the uniforms, whose true purpose was (and is) to mask the individuality of the men wearing it.
What did the Germans gain by creating the Holocaust? That question has been bothering me for a long time. All that effort and money and time and labor, for what? What *good* did it do them, to do what they did?
I believe that what they were engaged in was the slaughter of their own intolerable inner selves.
I think of the symbolism of the concentration camp in relation to this. Why did the Nazis choose to do the particular things that they did? They tried to erase the individuality of their victims (shaving, removal of clothing, replacement of names with numbers.) They even gave their victims a uniform, of sorts--nothing from Hugo Boss, but garments of grey and blue stripes, signifying the new identity of the wearer as a prisoner and a slave. They seem to have cared about preserving the distinction between men and women: even in the freezing winters of eastern Poland, they gave women prisoners dresses instead of trousers. Almost as if they were protecting their male Jewish prisoners from identification with women.
It's as if the Nazis were saying, "You would not/could not join in. Now we are *forcing* you to join the group. We are taking away your existence as an individual. And when you have felt that fact, we will take away your life altogether."
So I began to see a sort of ghastly mirroring of the Nazis themselves in their victims in the camps. That whole world, after all, came out of the psyches of the Germans. The Jews did nothing to envision or to create it. Those emaciated human forms whom we see in films from the time of liberation--they are an image born out of the Nazi mind, not the Jewish one. The prisoners in the concentration camps were uniformed, as identical as possible, strictly segregated by sex. In Treblinka, at least, they were even forced to sing a militaristic marching song.
I believe that a Nazi, looking at a concentration camp prisoner as he suffered and died, was actually watching himself. That is what I find interesting about the Nazis. Because we *all* belong to the same species as those horrific men. What analogous trick of projection might we, ourselves, be playing?
Why did the Nazis use zyklon-b?
To kill the undesirables they started using bullets but Himmler felt sick after attending a mass killing by guns then they moved to using the carbon M from trucks even that was to slow Zyklon-B (A juwish invention) was found to be fast and cheap.
Correction:Zyklon B was originally devised as a pesticide sometime in the 1800's. It's primary active ingredient is hydrogen cyanide, a hugely lethal cytotoxin. The original discoverer of this compound has not been sought nor identified, but as cyanide has been used in dyes from dawn of time, predating Judaism, we can safely assume it was not invented by a "juw"[sic].
The choice to use of Zyklon-B was certainly economic. There are huge logistical and cost related problems involved with killing 6,000,000+ people, and the cost of ammo as the means of homicide is prohibitive. Pesticide presented an economical alternative.

Why were Nazis against communists?
The Nazis were rabidly, frantically, frenetically anti-Communist.
========================================

What were the ghettos in the Nazi Germany?
Typically, a ghetto is a part of a city, not necessarily a slum area, occupied by a minority group. The term was first used for the enforced concentration of Jews into specific residential areas in European cities from the Middle Ages, but has now spread to include other ethnic groups in unofficial ghettos, especially black minorities in the USA. Lifestyles within the ghetto differ distinctly from those of the 'host' population and the prejudices of the host confine the sub-group to particular locations. see redlining. Although ghettos are characterized by social disadvantage, most ghettos display a spread of socio-economic groups and the better-off may move to the affluence of the 'gilded ghetto'.
