was the holocaust terrible?

Question

is tuterow a polish name?

Answer 1

It was terrible, but the jews are terrible for doing the same things to the palestinians now. they're just as bad as hitler.

Answer 2

I guess it depends on what side of the fence you were on.

For the average citizen of the Third Reich (i.e., the "Aryans"), it was just life pretty much as usual--with the wartime shortages, of course, and the concerns for loved ones at the front. Unless you lived right next to a concentration camp, you likely "only knew what you read in the papers," to paraphrase Will Rogers, and believe me, there was censorship galore. Even if you did live near a place like Dachau or Bergen-Belsen, you were most likely led to believe that it was just a "resettlement" or maybe even a "protective custody" facility. If the smell of burning human flesh from the crematories got a bit intense, it was probably just explained away as burning refuse.

For the non-Aryans, it was likely comparable to a stint in hell itself. Assuming you managed to avoid deportation to the labor camps (which was in itself often a death sentence, because the inmates were overworked, underfed, overcrowded--talk about how only the strong survived!), you led a life of deception. Either you were in hiding or living under a false identity and, in either case, hoping no one would blow your cover. A relative handful of people managed to survive this way; however, it usually meant separation from your loved ones. Hard as it is to accept, your chances of some family members surviving was increased by scattering them--perhaps even in different parts of the country. So you might conceivably have a son in one place, a daughter in another, while you and your spouse were also hiding in different places. You could only hope that you would all survive and be able to reunite after all of this was over.

Yes, I'd say it was pretty terrible. The documentation of these things tells merely a part of the story, but only by remembering it can we hope to prevent such another catastrophe. In this case, knowledge is definitely power.

I don't know, however, if Tuterow is a Polish name or not.

Answer 3

Yes Suggest you read up on it. One book that gives a picture of what happened w/ out making one sick to one's stomach is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom a Dutch gentile who helped hide Jews and was sent to concentration camps. I am old enough to remember the first time I saw someone with concentration camp tattoos on them. I was working at a Jewish camp and it was someone barely older than I was which means she must have been a small child.

Today there are group and not just Moslems either who claim it never happened. It did. It was very real and very terrible. Please do a Yahoo search and learn for yourself. Basic facts are 6 million killed. Many more tortured. Children used for medical experiments with no anesthetic and no protections. Small children raped. Women raped. People sometomes burned alive. Some of the concentration camps and their tourure places are still in existance as museums or because no one wants to put anything anywhere near them...Mass graves have been found tho most bodies were disposed of by burning. It was worse than anything we can imagine even after studying it. One look at the eyes of anyone who was there will give you more understanding than any documents.

I'm sorry I don't know about the name tuterow www.ancestry.com may be a help to you on that.

Answer 4

No, of course not. It was fun. The Nazi's had a blast and so did the six million who died during the duration of the Holocaust. Many victims who were saved by the allies when they liberated the concentration camps told them they wanted to stay and have more fun. What kind of a jackass are you?

Answer 5

Which holocaust, kid? the germans smoked 6m jews, the belgians raped and killed about 8m in Congo, the Spanish did their way with Amerindian civilization, Jackson committed systematic genocide against North American Indians, the US gov killed 4m in Indochina, about a million in Iraq. Which holocaust do you mean?

Answer 6

They don't call it "holocaust" for nothing.
Tuterow could be Polish or, likely, Russian.

Answer 7

I do not believe it was terrible. I don't think the word "terrible" does justice to the atrocity that was the holocaust.

Answer 8

Personally, I didn't find it all that bad. I even got a free tattoo with these cool numbers on me.

To this day whenever I am at the gas station the smell brings back ol' memories.

Answer 9

YES! it was terrible and a total nightmare. it was a genocide a crime towards humanity, an uncivilized way on dealing with a state problem. it was EVIL..

Answer 10

Define holocaust.

The dictionary defines it as a burning, a conflagration.
