Question

Answer 1

January 1942 to November 1944 were the key dates of the 'high volume' killings commonly referred to as the HOLOCAUST.

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. In order to achieve high volume genocide, it required the input from all levels of government. The high volume required local Gestapo round-ups, resettlement trains, 4 1/2 tons of Zyclon-B per month from the pharmaceutical companies, 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.

There 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....
