Answer 1

The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. "Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were "life unworthy of life." During the era of the Holocaust, the Nazis also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.

Answer 2

This is a very high level simplistic overview. It was not just Jewish people, it was also gypsies, gays, people who disagreed with Hitler, handicapped, and the list goes on. After WWI the economy in Germany was awful. Many people were starving and couldn't find work. He used the Jewish people as a scapegoat since it appeared they had jobs, education etc. By ridding the population of these people he could then put the German people in these places and build the economy back up. The economy in Germany was seeing great successes with Hitler. Most people had no clue as to how it was accomplished. that is the main reason he had very little resistance until he went up against Great Britain. In fact it wasn't until after the war that the actual truth and facts came out about the atrocities. People just didn't want to believe that someone could be so cruel.

Answer 3

Hitler had a policy called the "final solution" in regard to jews, poles, gypsies, physically handicapped, and basically anyone that did not fit into his criteria for being an Aryan. Most of the people that died in the concentration camps were literally worked to death. They were given very little rations to sustain themselves and had to work up to 20 hours a day. Millions succombed to disease and starvation in these camps. It wasn't until 1944 that he started to systematically exterminate these people. Now another thing that he had were his death squads that were run by his gestapo, or the secret police, and the SS units which were his personal army. They would go into towns that had been conquered and kill thousands of people at a time with a bullet in the back of the head in most cases, this was especially true in the fighting in Russia because he hated Slavs and communists as much as he hated jews.

There was a total of 11 million people that died as a result of the holacaust, 6 million of them being jews.

Another common misconception was that Hitler was Jewish and that's why he was so sectrative about his family history. Actually, his family had a history of mental instability, which under his own jurisdiction, would have made him a candidate to be at the recieving end of his own policy of the "undesirables"

Answer 4

WW aproximate death number was 22 millions deaths.

On this 6 million jew were exterminated, the reason why we are able to give an accurate number of this is because the german use an Advanced Marking System to record the data ... ie mainly an IBM made system..

Historically, it resorted that IBM was providing customer support to the GERman inside the Concentration camps while the JEWS were
being genocided.


( Bush grand- father built (all) the extermination camps in germany, actually a lot of corporation helped hitler.

Answer 5

The six million number has been challenged time and time again and people are even imprisoned for saying such things (political dissidents)In some country its illegal to challenge the number or say the Holocaust was a lie.
I think a person has the right to there opinion regardless how others think or feel.The minute someone tells you what you cant think or say you have no freedom at all.

Answer 6

Rubi - "thousands of millions of Palestinians have died" !!!!

Just how many Palestinians do you think there are?

There are only 65 Million people in the whole of Great Britain and the Palestinian territories are very much smaller than that, in fact the only country in the world with thousands of millions of people in it is China!

Answer 7

Not only did millions of Jewish people die in the holocaust, but so did people who were retarded, homosexual, or different. Hitler believed that the Germans were the superior race and therefore others should die. It is ironic however that Hitler was part Jewish, as his mother was!

Answer 8

Actually many liberals claim the holocaust never really happened. Although this is a lie, the liberals hope to create anti-semetism among the American people towards jews and Israel. Liberals actually liked Hitler almost as much as they like Osama bin Ladin!!!

Answer 9

You might want to do your own research on this topic, but see as you know little to nothing about it you might want to start with some ground work before diving into one of the worlds most historical tragedies.

Answer 10

Lots of Jewish people died because Hitler thought that they were to blame for the loss of WWI. he did not like other people of other races or skin differences other that the Blue-Eyed White (Caucasian) person. he tried to perform genocide of the whole race.
