Were children killed in the Holocaust?

Question

Did Hilter try to eliminate ALL Jews, including children?

Answer 1

Yes, children were killed first. When Jews arrived in Auschwitz and other extermination camps there was a selection, and all the people who were considered not be able to work hard enough were directly sent to the gas, that includes all children. They asked them their age during this selection and all children under 16 were gassed immediately, and also old and sick people. There are some people who survived because they knew about this and said they were 16 although they were actually younger (I read that in two autobiographies of Holocaust survivors). But also of the people who were selected for the work only very few survived, because of the extremely hard work and hunger in the concentration camps.
Yes, they wanted to kill ALL Jews and that was not only Hitler but also many people who followed him.

Answer 2

Yes his goal was to eliminate them all, but children women and ill or elderly people were all killed off systematically if it looked or seemed as though they couldn't do manual labor. Infants were usually the first to hit the gas chambers, as they served no practical use to the Nazi soldiers, who also used fear and intimidation to force the Jewish people to work at building the means of their own demise, and maintain it and dig the graves.

Answer 3

Yes, many children were killed in the Holocaust.

Answer 4

ABSOLUTELY!!! In Eli Wiesel's "Night," He describes it in one of the first things he sees when entering Auwitz. He says that a truckload of living babies were driven up to a huge raging fire and dumped ALIVE into it. He said that he made himself believe that it didn't really happen or he would have gone insane. It was one of the most shocking things I read in that book, which is very interesting. Hitler and his henchmen tried to eliminate ALL Jews in any and every way imaginable--and in ways that are unimaginable as well.

Answer 5

Yes, there are some records that babies were ripped from their mothers arms and thrown into raging flowers, in other instances they were lined up and shot. Or would be led into the 'showers' which were actually gas or acid that would kill them. Many medical experiments were done on the jews, gypies, POWs, polish.

Answer 6

Men, women, children and babies - age was no barrier to being eliminated.
In fact, being a child meant you were likely to be sent straight to the gas chambers, if you were not old enough to be used in a 'work-gang'.

Sorry, Mr Iranian President and others at your conference, but the Germans own records back this up!!

Answer 7

Young children were often the first to be killed because they couldn't be used for work gangs.

Hitler's goal was to kill every Jew in Europe. He came close to succeeding.

Answer 8

your website sucks, man.

these groups were just some of those who were killed in nazi germany:
female jews, male jews, children who were jews, jewish babies, elderly jews, because the nazis thought that "jewish" was a race and not a religion, passed down through the generations.

Gypsies, Czechs, Poles, Slavs, the mentally and physically handicapped, "anti-social" people, communists, homosexuals, catholics, and Africans. Although, not all of these groups were killed, they may have been sterilized (meaning they were "altered" to not have children)

Its all sick.

Answer 9

Yes. Children were no exception to the Nazi regime they were just held in different camps. they were all killed the same brutal ways adults were.
