Jews were treated very harshly. Under Hitler's regime, Jews were at first subjected to humiliation such as having to wear a bright yellow star on their clothing, and having to shop at separate stores and have to attend different schools. The second phase saw the Jews being rounded up into ghettos where there was severe overcrowding and lack of sanitation. When too many Jews were rounded up into the ghetto, the Nazi's first eliminated many by random shootings. As the ghettos were liquidated many Jews were sent to concentration camps where they suffered really brutal treatment. Oh if any Jew at any stage rebelled or led a Nazi to think he had rebelled or committed a crime, he was executed, usually on the spot. 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust. Those that survived suffered mental problems for years. The idea that the freed Jews were happy after being freed from the camps is a crock of bullsh*t. Many had lost entire families, they had no job or no houses. Many were sick. Not to mention that there was still anti-semitism after the camps were liquidated, |

jews were starved to death,they died of many disesases and were spilt apart from their families. most children were killed when they arrived at the camp.all the jews belonging were taken from them and the nazi's lied and said they would get it back later. jews were completey shaved. some jews were sexually harrased by nazi's.many jews suffered during the holocaust and they were forced to wear the star of david. hitler was a bad man, he killed the jews because he wanted a race that only had blonde hair and blue eyes.when he wasn't even blonde or had blue eyes. |

The 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 an alien threat to the so-called German racial community. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units) and, later, militarized battalions of Order Police officials, moved behind German lines to carry out mass-murder operations against Jews, Roma, and Soviet state and Communist Party officials. German SS and police units, supported by units of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS, murdered more than a million Jewish men, women, and children, and hundreds of thousands of others. Between 1941 and 1944, Nazi German authorities deported millions of Jews from Germany, from occupied territories, and from the countries of many of its Axis allies to ghettos and to killing centers, often called extermination camps, where they were murdered in specially developed gassing facilities. |

The answers given were very accurate but I suggest you read the book "Night" written by Elie Weisel. It is short but direct and is the true account of his experiences during the Holocaust. He is a survivor but lost his father in the camps. Very moving. gatita_63109 |

Inhumane! The SS doctors who performed grisly experiments such sterilization, castration, removal of live fetuses at different stages of development, transplanting human organs, seeing how long a man could survive in freezing water and many other experiments. During World War II, Nazi officer and physician, Josef Mengele, experimented on thousands of Jews and sent thousands more to their death. Carbon Monoxide According to the memoirs of Rudolf Höss, Commandant of Auschwitz, Adolf Eichmann suggested using "showers of carbon monoxide while bathing, as was done with mental patients in some places in the Reich." Instead of leading to water, the showerheads were connected to canisters of carbon monoxide. Zyklon B The most effective and efficient technique developed for killing at Auschwitz depended on the same pesticide that was used to kill the lice in prisoners' clothing. The disinfectant, sold under the trade name of Zyklon B, was in plentiful supply. Once exposed to properly heated air, the crystals produced lethal gas. Massive Gas Chambers and Crematoria By the early spring of 1943, four huge crematoria became fully operational at Auschwitz II (Birkenau). They housed eight gas chambers and forty-six ovens that could dispose of some 4,400 corpses per day. Trains would arrive at the camp and those most fit—approximately 10-30 percent of the arrivals—would be selected for a work detail. The remaining prisoners were sent to the gas chambers. Prisoners assigned to a unit known as the Sonderkommando had to move the bodies from the gas chambers to the furnaces. Several bodies at a time were burned in a single oven. In May 1944 a serious bottle-neck occurred at Auschwitz, because the deportation and extermination of the Hungarian Jews was under way. http://www.pbs.org/perilousfig ht/_popups/psychology/atrociti es/02.html http://www.remember.org/jacobs / http://www.warsaw-life.com/pol and/warsaw-ghetto |
