what is holocost?

Question

Why can't i ask about holocost? What did Hitler do in holocost? why shouldn't we talk about holocost?

Answer 1

Because it's talking about death, most people don't want to be reminded of it.

Answer 2

The holocost refers to the mass murders Hitler performed on the Jew back in the 1930's and 40's.

Answer 3

The holocost was the murder of several million Jews during 2nd World War under Nazi Germany. I think that you should talk about it, that was the whole point of Spielburg making Schindlers List because of the lack of Knowledge in the US of the terrible things that happened.

Answer 4

It was when approx 6 million jewish people were killed and many others prisioned in camps over germany poland and other countries. There were also gypsies and those apposed to the government who were prisoned. People dont like to talk about it because it was a very sad time in our history that hopefully will never be repeated again. There are still survivors today that have nightmares all the time from what hey saw and suffered from in the camps such as seeing their family and friends killed in front of them
There are heaps of books and movies which give insight into what happened. A book called emily is one of the best and there is a movie with kirsten dunst in it which shows some insight. Schindlers list is a great movie as well. They should help you understand a bit what happened

Answer 5

Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 8, 1938 and November 9, 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, leading to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

The Jews of Europe were the most numerous of the victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" (die Endlösung der Judenfrage) or "the cleaning" (die Reinigung). It is commonly stated that approximately six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, though estimates by historians using, among other sources, records from the Nazi regime itself, range from five million to seven million.

Millions of other minority members also perished in the Holocaust. About 220,000 Sinti and Roma were murdered (some estimates are as high as 800,000) — between a quarter to a half of their European population. Other groups deemed by the Nazis to be "racially inferior" or "undesirable" included Poles (6 million killed, of whom 3 million were Christian, and the rest Jewish), Serbs (estimates vary between 500,000 and 1.2 million killed, mostly by Croat UstaÅ¡e), around 500,000 Bosniaks[2], Soviet military prisoners of war and civilians in occupied territories including Russians and other East Slavs, the mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, Africans, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists and political dissidents, trade unionists, Freemasons, Eastern Christians, and Catholic and Protestant clergy, were also persecuted and killed.

Some scholars do not include the Nazi persecution of all of these groups in the definition of the Holocaust, rather limiting the Holocaust to the genocide of the Jews. However, taking into account all minority groups, the total death toll rises considerably; estimates generally place the total number of Holocaust victims at 9 to 11 million, though some estimates have been as high as 26 million.[3]

Another group, whose deaths are related to the Holocaust but not always counted in the totals, comprise the thousands who committed suicide rather than face what they feared would be untold suffering ending in death. In 2006, the European Union financed a project to research these victims; despite religious prohibitions against suicide, it is estimated that in Berlin alone, 1,600 Jews killed themselves between 1938 and 1945.

Answer 6

The Holocaust was Nazi Germany's systematic genocide (ethnic cleansing) of various ethnic, religious, national, and secular groups during World War II. Early elements include the Kristallnacht pogrom and the T-4 Euthanasia Program established by Hitler that killed some 200,000 people.

Answer 7

The holocaust was the murder of around 6 million Jews, along with other minority groups such as Gypsies and people with physical and/or mental "defects" by the Nazis in WWII. Most were placed in concentration camps such as Auschwitz and many were gassed and then incinerated.
