Also I have read that there was never gassing of Jewish people on German soil. The only pictures we see are from a epidemic of typhus.

No it was their policy to EXTERMINATE not immigrate.

I have seen personally the extermination camps and have photos and videos. You can still smell the death there in Buchenwald.

Buchenwald is on top of a hill near Weimar Germany where I lived once. I talked to many older Germans who remember it well too. It was very very real and it was not just Jews, there was Gypsies, Priests, Political rivals and anyone deemed a threat to the Nazi party that was not Military. They once had American GIs at Buchenwald but were lucky when a Luftwaffe Officer noted them as US Airmen and not Jews, Gypsies and such and did something to have them moved to a POW camp. They were a lucky few.

Where did you read that nothing ever happened to the Jews on German soil or to them period in WWII? Once you have seen it with your own two eyes you will never forget.

The Nazi's had several different ideas of their problem of what to do with the Jews. There was talk of emigrating them to Palestine. Their policy early in the war was to move many Jews from Germany and conquered lands into Ghettoes and stealing their personal valuables. Many Jews were "encouraged to move abroad" until 1941. Those that chose to leave had to pay the Nazi's and leave most personal property behind. It was not unitl the Wansee conference were Rheinhard Heydrich and other top Nazi and Wehrmacht leaders discussed the Final Solution. It was determined that the death camps would be set up in German occupied Poland. The polish were also anti-semetic and proved to be unwilling to intervene. The most notorious was Auschwitz, however Treblinka, Sobibor and others did the mass gassings of "undesirables". A good source of information is "A history of the Holocaust" by Yehuda Bauer or "Into that Darkness" by Gitta Sereny. Into that darkness is a conversational book that the author had with Franz Stangl, commandant of Treblinka

One of the options prior to 1942 were to forcibly put them onto Madagascar. But after the Wansee Conference in Jan 1942, there was only one definition for the 'final solution to the Jewish question...."

1. No, the "Final solution" was to round up and, after getting work out of the strong, to kill all Jews.

2. No, they were gassed (look up Zyklon B) to relieve German troops of their earlier task of firing squads of masses of Jewish civilians. Too many soldiers were reacting badly to this, so it was industrialized.
