Answer 2

The first concentration camp (Dachau) was set up in 1933. But the biggest killings began in 1941 when Germany invaded the USSR with mass shootings of Jews wherever the German army arrived. The biggest massacre of this kind was in Babi-Yar in September 1941 where almost 34 000 people were shot in two days. The first gassings in extermination camps started in December 1941 in Chelmno, most of the Holocaust victims were gassed in the other extermination camps (Auschwitz, Treblinka, Maydanek and others) since 1942.

Answer 3

The Holocaust time period was from January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945. An estimate of 5,860,000 Jewish people were killed. About 5,000,000 people who were not Jewish were also killed. There were many Jewish people murdered in many different countries. In Lithuania 143,000 were murdered, in the Netherlands 100,000 were murdered and in Romania 287,000 were murdered. All of the countries lost a lot of people which lowered their population greatly but Poland lost the most people. They lost 3,000,000 people which was ninety point nine percent of their population. The Soviet Union lost 1,100,000 people but that was thirty six point four percent of the population. These are only some of the many countries that has had there countries population decreased dramatically.

An estimate of one point five million children died during the Holocaust and about one point two million of the children were Jewish and tens of thousands were Gypsy children. Children were killed because they were prosecuted with their families for racial, political, or religious reasons. The children were separated according to their age. Children who were an infant to the age of 6 were grouped together, children ages seven to twelve were together, and teenagers thirteen to seventeen were put together. Jewish students were affected by one major law, that was the "Law Against Over crowding in German schools and universitiesÓ. Jewish children could not pass one point five percent of the total students in a school.The Nazi's were conquering what they hoped to- flushing out the young so they could not grow up to overpower them.

Answer 4

The War in Europe started in 1939. The killings actually started before that with what they were calling as "experiements" and what not to see how the concentration camps worked. Remember, the war for Europe did not start until after the invasion into France that took place. Germany was alreadye in other countries, like Turkey, before that time period.

No one knows the exact date of when the actual Holocaust started because even before invasion into other countries Hitler experiemented with those native to Germany. The mentally handicapped as well as with gypsies. The date is blurry but the most common belief is that the Holocaust was started in the early to mid 1930's.

Answer 5

January 1942 to November 1944 were the key dates of the 'high volume' killings.

Jan 1942 was the date of the Wansee Conference chaired by Reihard Heydrich with all the top SS and government bureacrats needed to implement the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Prior to that date, killings were localized and done by hanging, shooting or starvation in concentration camps...a not very efficient operation. The high volume required local Gestapo round-ups, resettlement trains, 4 1/2 tons of Zyclon-B per month, crematoria, bureacrats from all levels, etc., etc.

The Nov 1944 ending dates corresponded to Himmler's order to dismantle the evidence of the death camps as the Red Army approached from the East.

were killings after Nov 42, but not at the previously high levels. During the waning months of the war, Eichman even commandeered trains bound to the Eastern Front to be used to send Hungarian Jews to their death. Even tho the war was lost, he tried as hard as he could to kill as many Jews as possible....

Answer 6

The first concentration camp, named Dachau, near Munich, Germany, was constructed in 1935, and soon began housing, interrogating, torturing and executing "enemies of the German State." This included homosexual, Communists, other Socialists, Jews and anyone else the Nazis did not like. The killings reached their height during World War II, especially the years 1941 - 1944.
