How many Jews died during the Second World War?

Question

I am trying to get a estimated range of the Jews that reportedly were killed by Hitler and Stalin during that period.

Answer 1

World War II resulted in the deaths of over 70 million people, in total - making it the deadliest conflict in human history. The figures include about 20 million soldiers and 50 million civilians, in all.
Of these, Hitler personally ordered ordered the cold-blooded slaughter of approximately six million European Jews. He also exterminated another 6 millions (including the disabled and mentally ill, Soviet POWs, homosexuals, Freemasons and Jehovah's Witnesses) for being 'unworthy of life'.

Answer 2

Hitler bought into a common prejudice that was in Germany and his native Austria and largely in the US, things like "Jews run the banks", "Jews are all rich" meaning the Christians were poor, and of course to some devout Christians "Jews Killed Christ", totally ignoring the fact Jesus was Jewish, his Apostles were Jewish and 99% of his earliest followers were. He had some kind of mental illness that exaggerated his hatred. Some say Jewish people in Vienna kept him from an Art School he wanted to attend, I have no idea if that is true. But frankly, I don't think he needed an excuse, just as anti-semites or anti Black racists in the US don't have an excuse for their hatred, it's just there. When Hitler took power along with the Nazi Party, many in it's ranks shared his views to at least some extent. Many others would not have totally gone along with him except for fear for their own lives or their families. But he was somehow very convincing that he was right and that the Jews were a scourge. But even so, not all Germans went along with him, some opposed, and some were really unaware of the Holocaust because the worst of it happened during the war and people were fighting for their own lives, not worrying about where the Jewish family down the street had gone. 6 million Jews died, millions of others died too, Poles, Russians, homosexuals, Gypsies (Romani), and other ethnic groups, and many including German gentiles who opposed Hitler. Mostly the Jewish people are organized and have talked about what went on, they were the largest group to be singled out, but there were others.

Oh no - Hitler killed everybody - he was an equal opportunity murderer. He killed Catholic priests - lots of Polish people (just because they were Polish) - Ukrainians - homosexuals - Jehovah Witnesses - everybody. Jews were especially hated though because they had been hated in Germany for 1000 years - hating Jews is a cottage industry in Germany - probably still is. Jews scare the crap out of Germans - not sure why. Lots of Jews could read - lots of Germans couldn't. So Germans felt sort of outclassed. And as it turned out, the Germans killed the very people who could have helped them win the war - Jewish doctors, lawyers, scientists... It was a strange time.

Answer 6

Half of the 320,000 Jews living in Bessarabia, Bukovina, and Dorohoi district in Romania were murdered within months of the entry of the country into the war during 1941. Even after the initial killing, Jews in Moldavia, Bukovina and Bessarabia were subject to frequent pogroms, and were concentrated into ghettos from which they were sent to concentration camps, including camps built and run by Romanians. The number of deaths in this area is not certain, but even the lowest respectable estimates run to about 250,000 Jews (and 25,000 Roma) in these eastern regions, while 120,000 of Transylvania's 150,000 Jews died at the hands of the Hungarians later in the war.

Romanian soldiers also worked with the Einsatzkommando, German killing squads, to massacre Jews in conquered territories. Romanian troops were in large part responsible for the Odessa massacre, in which over 100,000 Jews were shot during the autumn of 1941.

Nonetheless, in stark contrast to many countries of Eastern and Central Europe, the majority of Romanian Jews survived the war, although they were subject to a wide range of harsh conditions, including forced labor, financial penalties, and discriminatory laws. Antonescu's government made plans for mass murder of the Old Kingdom Jews at the Belzec extermination camp, but never carried them out.

I hope this helps you.

Answer 7

More than six million Jews died in the Holocaust. There is plenty of information available.

Answer 8

11 million died during the Holocaust, which was in WWII. 6 million Jews died and 5 million other people died.

Answer 9

This is sad! I have just read the other answers to this question and I can not believe how many people have totally inaccurate information. SIX MILLION WERE WERE GASSED AND INCINERATED IN THE GERMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS> The so called final solution. The biggest irony of all is that some historians believe that Hitler was partly Jewish.

Answer 10

The generally accepted number is 6 million.
