They believed that Nostradamus had predicted Germany would win WWII and they handed out propaganda with quotes from him. Also more people from Ukraine died in the Holocaust (up to 7 million) than Jews (6 million).

The Holocaust is the name applied to the state-led systematic persecution and genocide of the Jews and other minority groups of Europe and North Africa during World War II by Nazi Germany and its collaborators\n\nThe Jews of Europe were the main victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". \n\nThe commonly used figure for the number of Jewish victims is six million, though estimates by historians using, among other sources, records from the Nazi regime itself, range from five million to eleven million. Many non-Jewish people were killed as well.

The Nazi group or National Socialist Party was technically a political group. One of the visions of Hitler was to return Germany to it's former glory and to create an elite Aryan race. Blond hair and blue eyes were one of the defining characteristics. The art and literature parts of the cultural expression were virtually non existent. Since the Nazis burned books and horded art the only "cultural expression" was Nazi propaganda. If the Third Reich didn't want it out then it was deemed illegal. Many people were put in concentration camps and killed during this time for "unauthorized" cultural expression.

Although anti-Semitism had existed since the establishment of Christianity Jews were only one of Hitler's target groups for elimination. In his quest to purify and strengthen the German race Hitler ordered the killings of Jews, Blacks, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Handicapped persons, the mentally ill hospitals, the elderly, the homeless, Slavs, and even World War One Veterans who had lost limbs or had otherwise become dependent. The reason Jews seemed to have been singled out in the Holocaust is because Hitler used them as a scapegoat for the problems following WW1. Hitler gave the downtrodden German people a face to put the blame of their dire situation. He accused the Jews, because they were different, of bringing down Germany from the inside. You would have to admit that Hitler's greatest achievement was making a whole country believe that less than 1% of their population, the Jews, were to blame for WW1 and it's consequences. With everyone's attention and anger directed at the Jews Hitler was free to eliminate other "unacceptable" people, many his own countrymen, without opposition or even notice. The reason that it's usually a Jewish person who speaks at assemblies is because they made up the largest portion of the Holocaust therefore others didn't survive or have likely passed on.

There most certainly are people who believe not only that the Holocaust never happened, but that all of the pictures, etc were faked. There's an entire generation of young adults in Germany who were taught absolutely nothing about the Holocaust & it was only after the Fall of the Berlin Wall that they began to realize they'd had a "glossed over" version of history. I don't care how much you dislike a subject in history, it happened & can't be changed & SHOULDN'T be re-written to make it palatable or p.c. If you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

Most of the Poles where just as cruel as the Nazis themselves. Some of them actually joined the Nazis. Others reported the Jews to the Nazis to be killed, told out their hiding places, watched thousands of children die of starvation daily and did nothing. Treatment? Obviously not too nice. \n\nThere were some exceptions of some righteous people who went out of their way to help some Jews. Some hid Jews in their homes, gave them food...Although there werent to many of those.\n\nEven after the Holocaust they were filled with hatred to the few Jews who survived. They moved into their homes and stole all their belongings. There are stories of Jews who survived 5 torturous years in concentration camps only to be killed after the war by their fellow Poles - many of them who used to be their friends and neighbors. Then some people complain why we associate the Holocaust with Jews when so many others like Poles died. As you see, I have absolutely no pity for the Poles. They were wicked people and had no problem killing other innocent people. \n\nEven today, when my grandmother returns to Poland, every 5 years, to vistit the remains of her family (about 25 people = 10 immediate family members + nieces, nepehws sister and brother in laws. This does not include all her cousins, aunts and uncles who were killed) She walks on the street and the Poles curse her out in Polish "Hitler should have finished you off". Unknown to them she knows a perfect Polish and understands all they say. May they rot in Hell!!

Heh, we just got done writing a paper for this book.\n\nI think it was mainly to keep spirits high.  I'm not sure about the Nazi's, but the Jewish people in the concentration camps held secret 'concerts' occasionally.

Are you asking in general what they did?  One thing is the Holocaust in which they killed over 6 million Jewish people, as well as political prisoners, gypsies, invalids, etc.  However, that really began after 1939.  Up until then, Hitler focused on labelling these people as scapegoats for why Germany fell so hard economically after WWI.  Besides the Holocaust, the Nazis improved the German economy and military, allowing them to be capable of invading and capturing so many countries during WWII.

NoName needs to become educated.  Jews existed long before Nazis.  One of the primary components of Nazism was hatred of the Jews!  Nazis were quite envious of Jews and wanted to murder them all.  Unfortunately, ignorant attitudes are quite prevalent among Nazis.  Typically, they hold very little education and do not possess basic skills of logic.

Come on, if you are hoping for an easy answer to your homework, in several minutes you will have all the wikipedia links you could ever want on this subject.  If you are hoping for non-attributable material in essay form, you won't get it here.\n\nAnswers...The Holocaust, meaning the Nazi German program to eradicate "undesirable races" like Jews, Gypsies and Slavs, happened primarily in what is now known as Poland and Germany, although one could argue that the round ups and other terror spread throughout most of occupied Europe.\n\nThe rough period of the Holcaust varies depending on opinions.  I rather believe it started with Kristalnacht on November 10, 1938 and didn't end until 1945 with the final liberation.  Survivors and their familes might tell you that they still suffer, therefore it hasn't ended.\n\nWhy is more complicated.  I would read "Hitler's Willing Executioners" by Daniel Goldhagen for a fairly succinct answer.  However, it was the result of Nazi Germany's effort to "purify" the "Aryan" (what toff, as though they were Aryan) race by killing off the so-called "sub-humans".

Ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear. \nHitler used this to his advantage from 1933 to 1945 by telling the Germans that their lives would be better without Jewish people, homosexuals, and gypsies. Evangelical Christians use ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear for their own advantage today by telling their followers that their lives would be better without the prevalence of homosexuality. The Bible also says not to shave, get a tattoo, eat pork or shellfish but the evangelicals know that ignorance, bigotry, hatred, and fear won't work for them in those cases.

Hitler's religion is described here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/hitler.htm  It seems to be largely unknown, but mainly Christian with a healthy dose of mysticism.  He was raised as a Catholic, and vocally denounced athiesm (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html)\n\nOther officials within the Nazi regieme were Christian, mostly Catholic although certainly plenty of Protestants, too.\n\nNow (as someone else already mentioned) there is a "Nazi mysticism" movement, about which you can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism

Because in Hitler's mind, the Jews were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.\nHitler's book Mein Kampf makes clear Hitler's racist worldview, dividing up humans based on ancestry. Hitler stated that German "Aryans" were at the top of the hierarchy, and assigned the bottom of the order to Jews and Gypsies. Hitler went on to say that dominated peoples benefit by learning from the superior Aryans. Hitler further claimed that the Jews were conspiring to keep this "master race" from rightfully ruling the world, by diluting its racial and cultural purity and by convincing the Aryans to believe in equality rather than superiority and inferiority. He described the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews.

Hitler was not a Jew. And in 1943 the Nazi's were isolateg Jews in ares of their cities called "ghettos" and periodically they would take some or all of them to concentration camps where they were starved, beaten, etc. The were also used as slave labor and many, many of them were executed and dumped into mass graves. The estimate is that the Nazi's killed 5,860,000 jews from 1938 to 1945.
