who started the holocaust?

Answer 1

the idea for the holocaust came from the euthanasia hospitals which where set up in Germany form 1936 to kill disabled people by firstly starvation and lethal injections, later gas chambers
the workers in those hospitals where transfer-ed east to concentration camps after there was too much public out cry
the holocaust happened because in the later 1930s Jews where sent to ghettos in cities, and where dying in such huge numbers the SS who controlled the ghettos asked for something to be done about the people and overcrowding
it was Hitlers henchmen rather than Hitler, who where trying to impress him, who organized the death camps, and it became the Final Solution after Poland was conquered, as they now had somewhere to send to Jews, and the technology to kill them on larger scales
