I'm going to do some research and revise this answer if I find anything. I think Stephen Speilberg is connected with some kind of database. Most of all...I want to wish you good luck in your search!\n\nOK...This page seems to contain databases of Holocaust victims and survivors. Hope it helps!

Auschwitz - facts\n\n\n In all, 1.1 million people died during the four and a half years of Auschwitz's existence; one million of them were Jewish men, women and children. \n\n\n\n Other groups of people who died included Polish political prisoners, Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsy families, homosexuals, people with disabilities and prisoners of conscience or religious faith (including several hundred Jehovah's Witnesses). \n\n\n\n More people died in Auschwitz than the British and American losses of World War Two combined.\n\n\n\n About 60 million Reichmarks - equivalent to £125m today - was generated for the Nazi state by slave labour at Auschwitz. \n\n\n\n Nazis at Auschwitz offered some non-Jewish female prisoners the option of 'light work'. As the women soon discovered, 'light work' meant prostitution. \n\n\n\n To lull new arrivals at Treblinka death camp into believing they were only in transit, plants were placed on the railway station and at the entrance to the gas chambers. \n\n\n\nThe train ramp was disguised to look like a regular railway station with signs, timetables and even a clock painted on the wall. \n\n\n\nA Star of David was placed above the entrance to the gas chamber and a sign was painted in Hebrew on a purple curtain covering the entrance to the gas chamber that said "This is the Gateway to God. Righteous men will pass through". \n\n\n\n A unit in Auschwitz where valuables snatched from incoming prisoners were kept was known as Canada, because Canada was thought to be a land of untold riches. \n\n\n\n Auschwitz guards had their own athletics team. The camp was like a small town, with its own staff canteen, cinema, theatre and grocery store. \n\n\n\n There were 170 female SS staff at Auschwitz, of whom the most infamous was Irma Grese, the 20-year-old daughter of a dairyman. \n\n\n\n Josef Mengele's scientific experiments at Auschwitz often involved studies of twins. If one twin died, he would immediately kill the other and carry out comparative autopsies. \n\n\n\n Denmark was the only Nazi-occupied country that managed to save 95% of its Jewish residents. Following a tip-off by a German diplomat, thousands of Jews were evacuated to neutral Sweden. \n\n\n\n Some Jewish prisoners secretly wrote eye-witness accounts of the atrocities of the gas chambers and hid them in bottles or metal containers buried in the ground. A number of these accounts were discovered after the war. \n\n\n\n Of a total of about 7,000 staff at Auschwitz, only 750 were ever punished. Many went on to build good careers, including one man who became head of human resources for a large German company. \n\n\n\n There are approximately 500 survivors of Nazi death camps or ghettos living in Britain today.\n\n\nand try this web site,\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/12_december/03/auschwitz_timeline.shtml

This question has been run into the ground.  The Holocaust of the 1930'and 40's was a factual occurrence in the history of man.  There are to many living witnesses, physical evidence,and documentation to think otherwise.  It does not matter how many times this question is asked, it is not going to make the facts change to meet your needs.

my grandfather survived the holocaust and i very sure that he isnt lying about it, i can see the number in his arm. \n\nTHE HOLOCAUST   \n\n   \n\nThe Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. "Holocaust" is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, deemed "inferior," were "life unworthy of life." During the era of the Holocaust, the Nazis also targeted other groups because of their perceived "racial inferiority": Roma (Gypsies), the handicapped, and some of the Slavic peoples (Poles, Russians, and others). Other groups were persecuted on political and behavioral grounds, among them Communists, Socialists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and homosexuals.\n\nIn 1933, the Jewish population of Europe stood at over nine million. Most European Jews lived in countries that the Third Reich would occupy or influence during World War II. By 1945, close to two out of every three European Jews had been killed as part of the "Final Solution", the Nazi policy to murder the Jews of Europe. Although Jews were the primary victims of Nazi racism, other victims included tens of thousands of Roma (Gypsies). At least 200,000 mentally or physically disabled people were murdered in the Euthanasia Program. As Nazi tyranny spread across Europe, the Nazis persecuted and murdered millions of other people. More than three million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered or died of starvation, disease, neglect, or maltreatment. The Germans targeted the non-Jewish Polish intelligentsia for killing, and deported millions of Polish and Soviet citizens for forced labor in Germany or in occupied Poland. From the earliest years of the Nazi regime, homosexuals and others deemed to be behaving in a socially unacceptable way were persecuted. Thousands of political dissidents (including Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists) and religious dissidents (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) were also targeted. Many of these individuals died as a result of incarceration and maltreatment.\n  \n\n   \n \nThe Holocaust\nSee maps\n\nBefore beginning the war in 1939, the Nazis established concentration camps to imprison Jews, Roma, other victims of ethnic and racial hatred, and political opponents of Nazism. During the war years, the Nazis and their collaborators created ghettos, transit camps, and forced-labor camps. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) carried out mass-murder operations against Jews, Roma, and Soviet state and Communist party officials. More than a million Jewish men, women, and children were murdered by these units. Between 1942 and 1944, Nazi Germany deported millions more Jews from the occupied territories to extermination camps, where they murdered them in specially developed killing facilities.\n\nIn the final months of the war, SS guards forced camp inmates on death marches in an attempt to prevent the Allied liberation of large numbers of prisoners. As Allied forces moved across Europe in a series of offensives on Germany, they began to encounter and liberate concentration camp prisoners, many of whom had survived the death marches. World War II ended in Europe with the unconditional surrender of German armed forces in the west on May 7 and in the east on May 9, 1945.

Holocoast \n\n\nThe Holocaust Misconception The Holocaust Misconception is likely one of the most misunderstood historical events of modern times. There are those that underestimate the extent of world knowledge about the German atrocities. There are also those who are ignorant of the way in which the Jews reacted to their situation. There is an incredible extent of incorrect information about the Holocaust which people have been taught or made to believe. It is imperative that modern society fully appreciate the terrors of the Holocaust in order to prevent its reoccurrence. First and foremost, we must address the misconception concerning the world’s knowledge of what was happening. It is often assumed and taught that the Holocaust portion of World War II was such a well kept secret that no one knew of it until after the fact, however, this is untrue. There were various ways that the world was notified of these horrors. Various nations and various Jewish communities gained knowledge of the barbarity and did nothing. The people in power at that time were notified many times of what was going on. On September 29 and 30, 1941 there was a mass killing at Babi Yar, a Russian city near Kiev.

Try reading The Diary of Ann Frank.  That would give you some idea.  Schindler's List is a movie that tells a true story of a German who protected Jews.  If they were caught many of the same things happened to them as happened to the Jews.  \n\nIf there is a Holocaust Museum in your area try to visit it.  There is an excellent on in St. Petersburg, FL.\n\nI've attached some websites that should help you.

Have you not had any history lessons yet?  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[1]. Early elements of the Holocaust include the Kristallnacht pogrom of the 8th and 9th November 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, leading to the later use of killing squads and extermination camps in a massive and centrally organized effort to exterminate every possible member of the populations targeted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.\n(There is more info about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust\n\nAlso read the book "Diary of Anne Frank".  See if you can find a copy of the tv miniseries "Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance".  They were made from books written by Herman Wouk and had actual footage from the concentration camps, etc.\n\n\nTry these sites for movies about the holocaust:\nhttp://www.thirdreich.net/Holocaust_Movies.html\nhttp://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/resource/MOVIES.htm\nhttp://www.teachwithmovies.org/guides/schindlers-list.html

The only place that researching the Holocaust may be forbidden is in Muslim Countries that wish to believe that it never happened and do not want researchers proving their stand otherwise.  It is a subject that is studied extensively throughout the rest of the world in order to learn to recognize what causes this kind of activity in order to keep it from happening again.
