what part of Germany did the Holocaust take place in?

Answer 1

almost all over Germany, Poland and a few other countries. Check it out yourself here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust

Answer 2

Holocaust is a term chosen by some to describe the systematic genocide of the European Jews that occurred in Nazi Germany and Nazi-occupied territories. This is particularly important because the deaths aren't related to the war that the regular army was engaged in at the time. The killing of Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, Slavs and the mentally infirm was an extension of the SS policy of racial, physical and mental idealism.

It's also important not to confuse concentration/slave labor camps that were established to punish political prisoners and exploit slave labor with the extermination camps that were established with the express purpose of killing as many human beings in as an efficient manner as possible.

There were concentration camps throughout Europe, ranging from southeastern France all the way up to Finland, but all six of the most commonly recognized extermination camps were located in Poland.

Answer 4

The Holocaust took place in all areas under control of the German Nazi Government. Most Concentration camps were in Germany, the large extermination camps were mostly in Poland.

Concentration camps were used as detention and gathering points, at these camps some people were held to be used as slave labor, other were processed to be shipped to extermination camps. Almost all German cities had a concentration camp in the near, for the slave labor aspects.

Many factors used slave labor, Ford, Opel GM, Siemens, Phillips, Messerschmidt, Henkel, Bayer, etc, almost every major German industry used slave labor. Slave labor was used to rebuild roads, railways, bridges etc.

Some of these camps were huge some small, but there was thousands of camps. Many of the smaller camps were part a bigger camp, for example Camp #D22 belonged to the Dachau concentration camp but was located in Munich, to provide labor for the "Reichesbahn" railroad. Almost every German town of any size had a concentration camp nearby. And being in a camp to provide labor for a factor was not much better it only meant one had to work themselves to death. At an airplane engine factory a prisoner was stuck on a meat hook daily to motivate the workers to be more productive, defects and production slow downs were dealt with in a similar manner.
