what was the holocaust?

Answer 1

The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.


OTHER CONSPIRACIES TO THINK ABOUT:

1. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

2. America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.... The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, with duplicity from Castro and Kruschev....true story.

4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets, stars as well as the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

6. The fossils of homo eructus, neandertals and 15 other hominids that are extinct were put there by paleotologists, archeologists, and assorted rock hounds to enhance their careers. Creationism is the only reality.

7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Answer 2

The Holocaust was the systematic murder of millions of Jewish people, along with numerous Catholics, gays, political dissidents, and mentally handicapped people.

Beginning in the mid-1930s, the National Socialist Party in Germany, also known as the Nazi Party, passed law that required all Jews to wear a gold, 6-pointed star at all times. They were singled out as a nuisance to the state and as the cause of all of societies ills. By 1939, they were being rounded up and forced into concentration camps. The "Final Solution," masterminded by Heinrich Himmler, called for the destruction of all Jews. It occurred mainly out of public sight in the concentration camps. The deaths were finally put to an end in 1944/45 when the Allies successfully broke through Germany's defenses at the end of World War 2 and worked to remove the Nazi Party from power.

The genocide, which became formally known as "The Holocaust," took the lives of about 6 million European Jews. It was one of the main causes for the founding of the United Nations, although one would never know that from the UN's inaction in cases of genocide in Africa in the last 20 years.

Answer 3

Holocaust - The genocide of European Jews and others by the Nazis during World War II: "Israel emerged from the Holocaust and is defined in relation to that catastrophe" (Emanuel Litvinoff).
A massive slaughter: "an important document in the so-far sketchy annals of the Cambodian holocaust" (Rod Nordland).

Answer 4

The holocaust took place in World War II, when Hitler and the Nazi regime began to persecute Jewish people. Holocaust means "fire". In WWII, the Nazis put many Jewish people (along with Gypsies, physically or mentally challenged people, political dissidents) into concentration camps. At these camps, people were either gassed to death, worked to death, or died of disease and starvation. During the holocaust, 6 million Jews died in the concentration camps, along with arounhd 3 million people of other backgrounds.

Answer 5

The holocaust was during world war 2. Nazi germany placed into 'concentration camps' those that opposed what they held for the ideal country. They killed the people with poisonous gas. They did this by making the people think they were getting showers & the gas came out the shower heads.

The largest group of people put to death were jews.

It is a very horrible scar on our modern global society.

Answer 6

the name applied to the genocide of minority groups of Europe and North Africa during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators.[1]

Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 8 [2], 1938 and November 9, 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, leading to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps [3][4][5][2][6] 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 "[7]" (die Endlösung der Judenfrage) or "the cleaning" (die Reinigung). It is commonly stated that approximately six million [8][9] 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 Ustaše), around 500,000 Bosniaks[10], 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.[11]

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.

Wikipedia says the following:

"The Holocaust, also known as Ha-Shoah (Hebrew: השואה), Khurbn (Yiddish: חורבן or Halokaust, האלאקאוסט), Porajmos (Romani, also Samudaripen), Całopalenie or Zagłada (both Polish), is the name applied to the genocide of minority groups of Europe and North Africa during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators.[1]

Answer 8

The Holocaust was when Germany was feeling as though they were being embarrassed by their government, and then Adolf Hitler came to their "rescue". Hitler rose to power over Germany, soon taking over it in the 1930s 1940s, and turning the government into a dictatorship. As he did so, he also believed in a certain race....and if you weren't that race or color or hair color...etc...He would send you to a Concentration camp...where they would work you to death.

Well...So many Jewish people and Slavs and other races were also being sent to Death camps, where they would burn you, gas you, or anything else they could think of.

In estimation, there were over 6 million deaths in the Holocaust.
Try to get that number in your head.
6,000,000,000 lives, dead.

6 million people lost their lives just because one man didn't like them and discriminated them.

Answer 9

Nazi Germany's systematic destruction of the jews. Hitler needed a scape goat for why things sucked so bad in Germany after world war 1, so he blamed the jews, the Polish, the slavs, and others. He had them rounded up and put into concentration camps where they either died from the terrible living conditions or were executed. Estimated about 6 million jews were killed, with a total of around 11 million or more "racially inferior" people killed.

Answer 10

It is the event of the germans treatment of the jews manly but also many other races,between 1939-1945.Please read up on it, every one should,because once you have you may be able to understand just what terrible things we humans do to each other.
