Answer 1

In a time of war, a country steps up its security measures, trying as best they can to neutralise threats to itself. Very similar to the heightened security measures we see in the US today.

In Germany, when WWII broke out, they did the same thing. Camps were originally set up as re-education centers for anti-social elements of the German community and served to rehabilitate such people to be able to live in the German community, but also to protect them from public anger. So who were these people?

-Any person condemned for treasonous activities, including Communist party members (remember, Germany was fighting the Soviets, too, so communists were seen as infiltrators, just like terrorists in the US are today).
-Anyone who incited a German citizen to refuse military service
-Repeat criminals (those sentenced to at least 6 months of imprisonment or labour on at least three separate occasions)
-Beggars
-Prostitutes
-Homosexuals
-Drunkards
-The insane
-The chronically unemployed

The first camp was built at Dachau and was established primarily as a deterrent to further communist acitivity.

Himmler stated that his camps were to be models of cleanliness, order, and instruction. Inmates learned trades through their work and training. Many products vital to the war effort were manufactured at the camps and efforts were made to keep inmates healthy. (At this time, the living conditions in the camps were sometimes better than what free German citizens experienced.)

Himmler instructed the guards at the camps to be personal examples to the prisoners to show them how to behave properly and respect the state. Tens of thousands of inmates were released from the camps when they demonstrated that they had reformed themselves into upstanding German citizens. In fact, inmates were still being released as late as October of 1944.

Camp commandants were required to prevent cruelty to the inmates and camp guards were forbidden to strike prisoners of their own initiative. Camp guards were told that they were not to insult or demean prisoners during interrogation, or brutalise or torture them. Guards who mistrated prisoners were punished.

In 1939, to celebrate Hitler's birthday, several thousand camp prisoners were granted release.

In 1941, the camps were classified into four types and as a result, many prisoners who were there on minor offenses had the conditions of their imprisonment eased.

Life went on for those in the camps. Workdays were formalised, with Sundays off. Prisoners were allowed to marry. The heirs of a prisoner who died while in custody were still eligible to collect their life insurance. The SS also established its own fund to pay the life insurance premiums of prisoners while they were interned so that the person's family would not be burdened with final expenses if their loved one died in while in custody. If both parents of a child were interned in a camp, each parent was released on a rotating monthly basis so the child's needs would be cared for and the family would not be broken up.

However, as the war neared the end, life in the camps wasn't as pleasant. The camps were becoming overcrowded and the war was creating shortages of food and other necessities. This created two primary causes of death for inmates and camp workers alike: starvation and disease. There was not enough food to go around and the cramped conditions caused disease to run rampant through the camps in epidemic proportions. Lice was a prevalent problem and caused many people to die from typhus. In fact, most photographs of corpses piled in the camps are of typhus/starvation victims.

That is pretty much the extent of the Holocaust.

Answer 2

The Holocaust usually refers to the murder of some 6 million Jews and other groups in the concentration camps set up by Nazi Germany during WWII.

To find the start of the Holocaust you must look at the Nazi Party and Adolph Hitler and what they stood for. Go to wikipedia and look up these two subjects. Follow the outline given to find out what their positions on Jews and Aryans were.

I have given you the link to the wikipedia article on the Holocaust itself. Follow the blue links in the article to get more information.

Answer 3

It is important how deeply you study this issue.
Much has been written and said about it which is flat out false propoganda and anybody who tries to argue otherwise is condemned as "anti-semitic."
People obviously died in the "holocaust."
"Who are the ones who died there ?"is the big question.

Answer 4
