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".

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.

Well, did it really happen? Its unacceptable because it lends credence to the billion dollar holocaust industry. Frnakly most of the hjolocaust garbage has been proven false. Lechter did it when he performed the first foensic test on the so-called gas chmbars and found no evidence of Zyklon B which has a residue life of 300 years as non evident in the so-called chambers.\n\nForensic evidence is good enough to execute people in America for alleged crimes but it becouse junk science when used to debunk the holocaust myths. Lechter was not the only one to perform forensic scinec on the so -called gas chambers . read the links below and find the real truth for the cover up of the billion dollar holocaust industry.\n\nFact is history has proven it never happened. Laws in certain contries make it a crime punishable by up to 3 years in jail for holocaust denile. Ifthe holocaust is so evident then why are there laws protecting any questioning of it? IT is a crime in some of these countries to even defend ones self from holocaust denile and a lawyer can be charged also if he submits any evidence to debunk the holocaust. IT a win win situation for the Jews in charge of this phony court in certain countries. It s insane and has the mind of a delusional mentally defunct government under the control of mentally ill government.\n\nShinlers list is listed in the Library of Congress as "fictional" yet the Jewish media in America tout it as truth. Anne Frank only wrote about a chapter and a hlif of her diary and the rest was peened by several (6-10) other unknown peoples. This would most certainly make one believe the diary is a fake and at most a fable or myth perpetrated by unknown people to support a holocaust.\n\nToture is never acceptable that is why most of it is amyth and is documented as such. That is why it never happened and most of what we hear about the so-called holocaust is pure propaganda.\n\nRead the links below and begin to learn to question the greatest hoax in all of history. Why is it a hoax? Because if it were discoverd as such it would destroy the billion dollar industry that most of its perpetrators of mis-truth rely upon for their own survival. \n\nHowever, and intelligent human would be able to decide for themselves so it is imparative to learn both sides and form ons own opinion.

Hi, I'm so sorry but this is one subject that cannot be simplified, I've tried long and hard to find sites that can be directed for young people, alas to no avail, so here is what we have to work with.\n\nWebsites for Holocaust Education\n\nA comprehensive list of links for you to explore.\n\nhttp://www.cumbavac.org/Holocaust.htm\n\nThe Holocaust History Project is a free archive of documents, photographs, recordings, and essays regarding the Holocaust, including direct refutation of Holocaust-denial.\n\nhttp://www.holocaust-history.org/\n\nThe Jewish Holocaust 1933-1945\n\nhttp://facultystaff.vwc.edu/~dgraf/holocaus.htm\n\nOur site is not the only one on the World Wide Web dealing with the Holocaust.  Certainly an event of such tragic magnitude deserves as much coverage as possible from a wide variety of angles.  Here are some other sites that you can visit for more information.\n\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/12663/ref.htm\n\nConcentration Camp Listing\n\nhttp://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/cclist.html\n\nGood luck.

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\nThe Jews of Europe were the main victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis called the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". The 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 seven million.\n\nAbout 220,000 Sinti and Roma were killed in the Holocaust (some estimates are as high as 800,000), between a quarter to a half of the European population. Other groups deemed "racially inferior" or "undesirable": Poles (3 million Polish Jews, and 2 million Polish gentiles, total 5 million Poles killed in Holocaust), Serbs (targeted mostly by Croat Nazi Ustashas, over a million killed), Soviet military prisoners of war and civilians on occupied territories including Russians and other East Slavs, the mentally or physically disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Communists and political dissidents, trade unionists, Freemasons, and some Catholic and Protestant clergy, were also persecuted and killed. Many scholars do not include the Nazi persecution of all of these groups in the definition of the Holocaust, with some scholars limiting the Holocaust to the genocide of the Jews; some to genocide of the Jews, Roma, and disabled; and some to all groups targeted by Nazi racism.[2] Taking all these other groups into account, however, the total death toll rises considerably, estimates generally place the total number of Holocaust victims at 9 to 11 million, though some estimates have been as high as 26 million.[3]

Holocaust (hŏl'əkôst', hō'lə–) , name given to the period of persecution and extermination of European Jews by Nazi Germany. Although anti-Semitism in Europe has a long history, persecution of German Jews began with Hitler's rise to power in 1933. Jews were disenfranchised, then terrorized in anti-Jewish riots (such as Kristallnacht), forced into the ghettos, their property seized, and finally were sent to concentration camps. After the outbreak of World War II, Hitler established death camps to secretly implement what he called “the final solution of the Jewish question.” Extermination squads were also sent to the fronts: In one operation alone, over 30,000 Jews were killed at Babi Yar, outside Kiev. After 450,000 Jews were sent to death camps from the Warsaw Ghetto, news of their fate led the last 60,000 to rebel (1943), fighting until they were killed, captured, or escaped to join the resistance. The main Jewish resistance was spiritual: observing their religion and refraining from suicide, while Zionists evacuated some to Palestine. By the end of the war 6 million Jews had been systematically murdered. The Allies refused rescue attempts and American Jews were warned against attempting them. While the European churches were silent, some clergy and individual non-Jews saved many. The Danes sent most Danish Jews to Sweden in private boats while under German occupation.\nAfter the war Nazi leaders were tried for war crimes at Nuremburg, and West Germany later adopted (1953) the Federal Compensation Law, under which billions of dollars were paid to those who survived Nazi persecution. In the mid-1990s a number of suits were filed against Swiss banks that held accounts belonging to Holocaust victims but had denied the fact and failed to restore the money. A settlement reached in 1998 established a $1.25 billion fund to be used to compensate those who can document their claims and, more generally, Holocaust survivors, the latter as restitution for undocumented accounts and for Swiss profits on Nazi accounts involving Holocaust victims' property. In 1998 the Roman Catholic Church issued a document acknowledging Catholic complicity in the long-standing European anti-Semitism that was background to the Holocaust. Under the terms of an agreement signed in 2000 by the United States and Germany, a $5 billion fund was established by the German government and German industry to compensate those who were slave or forced laborers or who suffered a variety of other losses under the Nazi regime.\n\nThe destruction of European Jewry has demanded a reevaluation by Jews the world over. The renascent Jewish community in the state of Israel, itself largely a byproduct of the Holocaust, now serves as a focal point for much of this energy. A vast literature consisting of histories, diaries, memoirs, poetry, novels, and prayers has emerged in an effort to understand the Holocaust in terms of its religious and secular implications. The secular materials attempt to explain how it happened and the reactions of the victims; some have suggested that an underlying and pervasive anti-Semitism in Germany was fueled by a deep and complete despair combined with a corrosive and unacknowleged sense of worthlessness that had been created by crushing and humiliating hardships and the disintegration of the Weimar Republic. The religious materials focus on the problem of whether one can still speak in traditional Jewish terms of a God, active in history, who rewards the righteous and who maintains a unique relationship with the Jewish people. Museums and memorials have been established in a number of cities worldwide to preserve the memory of the Holocaust.\n\nsome sites to check out are - \nwww.ushmm.org/wlc/en\nwww.holocaust-history.org\nholocaust.about.com\nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust

Catholics, Gypsies, homosexuals, people with disabilities, all were sent to the concentration camp along with Jews.  It's just that there were more Jews murdered than any other group.  \n\nHere's a great link that includes information about the WWII Concentration camps and all their victims.

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.

"House" is a generous term.\n\n"At first, Poles were imprisoned and died in the camp. Afterwards, Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsies, and prisoners of other nationalities were also incarcerated there. Beginning in 1942, the camp became the site of the greatest mass murder in the history of humanity, which was committed against the European Jews as part of Hitler's plan for the complete destruction of that people. The majority of the Jewish men, women and children deported to Auschwitz were sent to their deaths in the Birkenau gas chambers immediately after arrival."

The Iron curtain is the isolation imposed by the cold war between URSS and EU after World War II.  The holocaust happened during World War II.  Some concentration camps were in Germany, but ohter were in Austria.  Not to mistake the Iron curtain with the Berlin Wall, although both are symbols of the same political reality.

In 1936, Jews were banned from all professional jobs, effectively preventing them exerting any influence in education, politics, higher education and industry. On 15 November of 1938, Jewish children were banned from going to normal schools. By April 1939, nearly all Jewish companies had either collapsed under financial pressure and declining profits, or had been forced to sell out to the Nazi-German government as part of the "Aryanization" policy inaugurated in 1937.\n\nAs the war started, large massacres of Jews took place, and, by December 1941, Hitler decided to completely exterminate European Jews. In January 1942, during the Wannsee conference, several Nazi leaders discussed the details of the "Final Solution of the Jewish question" (Endlösung der Judenfrage). Dr. Josef Bühler urged Reinhard Heydrich to proceed with the Final Solution in the General Government. They began to systematically deport Jewish populations from the ghettos and all occupied territories to the seven camps designated as Vernichtungslager, or extermination camps: Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Maly Trostenets, Sobibór and Treblinka II. Sebastian Haffner published the analysis in 1978 that Hitler from December 1941 accepted the failure of his goal to dominate Europe forever on his declaration of war against the United States, but that his withdrawal and apparent calm thereafter was sustained by the achievement of his second goal—the extermination of the Jews.\n------------------------------------------------------------\nJews were the main victims. One could say their role was to be rounded up like cattle to concentration camps or death camps.\nAdded:\nAs for communities, they were started in other countries where the Jews fled to. After the second world war.
