Answer 2

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the Jews were their very first target. The infamous boycott against Jewish businesses took place in April 1933 and the first laws against the Jews were enacted as early as on April 7, 1933.10 Jews were progressively erased from almost every facet of German life.11 The Nuremberg Laws, passed in 1935, further tightened the noose, depriving the Jews of almost every remaining right and freedom.12 This culminated in the bloodiest pogrom to date the Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) in November 1938. Over 100 Jews were murdered and a "fine" was levied against the Jews in excess of 1 billion RM.

By the outbreak of World War II, actions taken against the Jews included marking them13 and ghettoizing them.14 By the time of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, the decision had been taken to kill the eastern European Jews by shooting them where they were found (http://www.holocaust-history.org/hitler-final-solution/) and by the end of the year at the latest, the decision was taken to kill all European Jews. (http://www.holocaust-history.org/ december-12-1941/).

The one common thread throughout this "process of destruction," as Hilberg calls it, was the Jews. The Communists were often explicitly targeted as well, but the Nazis believed that Communism was a creature of the Jews in any event. The expression often used was "Jews and other undesirables," and the Jews were almost always the first group targeted in any initiative. There is no doubt that they were the focal point from beginning to end.

The Germans set up an office on the "Jewish Question" under the direction of Adolf Eichmann -- the infamous Bureau IV B 4. The name used for the ultimate killing action was "the Final Solution of the Jewish Question," Others were drawn in -- with horrific results -- but the key object and common thread was always the Jews.

Answer 3

Well, 11 million people were murdered, not just Jewish people. Germany was going through rought times after WWI and they were humiliated because they lost and were blamed for the whole thing. That made it easier for Adolf Hitler to come in and start a new fascist goverment(the Nazi's)

He told the people that the reason Germany was having such a hard time was because of the Jews, and they should seperate themselves from the Jews.

Many Germans didn't know that people were being killed in concentration camps by the millions.

I could help more, but I'm tired of typing. :]

Answer 4

The holocaust was the systematic murder of more than 6 million Jews by Nazis during the 30s and 40s.

The Nazis were under the rule of Adolf Hitler, a man who enforced the belief that Germans were "pure" in comparison to homosexuals/other races/ and JEWS!

The Jews were sent to Concentration Camps where they were selected for work or death. If they were too old, young, or sick, they were killed in gas chambers or experimented on by doctors who were not intending to make actual scientific discoveries. If they could work, they were put to work putting the old, young, or sick in gas chambers or taking them to the psycho doctors.

The other processes disgust me, so I will not describe them in great detail. Hope this is what you needed.

Answer 5

Hitler blamed the Jews for ruining his country. He became the German leader and invaded Poland, France etc. He wanted to take over all of europe and round up every jew. All the jews that were rounded up were sent to forced labour camps, called concentraition camps. The jews were starved and made to work like slaves in these camps, then when they were to weak to continue working the Nazi's put them into gas chainbours and gassed them. then they burnt the dead bodies in big furnaces. This is what the holocaust was.
