Id say people in the Middle East have an extremely biased view (if any) on the Holocaust. Im Lebanese, living in Lebanon, and i can say that the Holocaust is praised (unfortunately) in most Arab countries since Israel is viewed as the main enemy (along with the US). It's sad to see educated people praising Hitler and the horrible genocide he commited against Jews. Being an Arab Christian, my backgroud education gave me the right idea about the genocide. However, most Muslims have this haine for Jews (mostly because the Sheikhs and Arab leaders examplify Israelis and Jews as the force of evil and war in the world). I dont want to sound too pessimistic but a better education will not be the solution because Imams (or Sheikhs, as in muslim religious leaders) will still endoctrinate their followers... The only solution in my opinion is the creation of two states (Israel and Palestine) after both forces recognize one another according to international law. It's a shame extremism (whether ultra-orthodox jews or fanatic muslims) is the obstacle of bringing people together..

since the holocaust was all about prejudice, write about that. Focus on what happens when those in authority (Hitler) use their power to further their cause, as a platform for their prejudice. Write about what the holocaust taught us and whether or not it has shaped our views of modern day prejudices, or whether it is completely disregarded.

The Holocaust was more than a Jewish event. Records kept by the Germans prove they exterminated millions of Communists, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, mentally and physically handicapped, Poles, resistance fighters, Russians, Serbs, Socialists, Spanish Republicans, trade unionists, Ukrainians, Yugoslavians, prisoners of war of many nations, and still others whose identity may never be recognized. Their victims, according to one survivor of four different concentration camps, "were of some thirty nationalities, from Nepalese to Andorrans, and of a variety of racial and linguistic stocks ranging from Basques to Buriats and from Ladinos to Lapps". When people were not immediately exterminated, they were sent to work and/or concentration camps. There the prisoners were divided into six penal categories and given patches on their clothing for identification purposes. Ordinary criminals were assigned green; political prisoners wore red; black was worn by asocials (slackers, prostitutes, procurers, etc.); homosexuals wore pink; conscientious objectors wore purple, and the Jewish people wore yellow.\n\nOh and by the way Hitler was NOT of the jewish faith ... Hitler, himself, was a Catholic.

it isn't. no one debates the fact that us white folks suck and killed the natives for their lands. unfortunately there are still idiots that try to say the holocaust never happened. Another thing ppl like to forget is that Hitler not only murdered 6,000,000 Jews but also 5,000,000 others for being gypsies, homosexuals, and mentally retarded. Don't forget all the people he murdered for helping these groups as well. Bottom line Indians were killed for what they had Jews for what they were. Therein lies the definition of the word holocaust. What the real question is why does no one remember that in 1994 there was another holocaust in Rwanda that the UN turned it's back to????because there was nothing in it for us to gain???? Nearly 1,000,000 men, women and children were brutally murdered for a name give to their tribe by the british. For no other reason than jealousy and hatred. We here in the US were too worried about whether our president should have oral sex to concern ourselves over the daily killing of hundreds of thousands of babies. Maybe the Rwandese should have gotten a better publicist....

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.

People CAN be icons.  Look at Marilyn or James Dean.\n\nI agree that the answer would be (unfortunately) Hitler.\n\nIt will be another generation before his "agenda" will start to ease, as the survivors of the holocaust will then be all gone.\nIf you know a survivor, go talk to them about their experiences.  (if they are willing to talk)

I don't agree on any country turning their backs on another holocaust (that is what is happening in Darfur). As the most powerful nations we owe it to help these people get out of the suffering and torture. If we turn our heads away we are no different than those who torture because we see it and did nothing. We cannot afford to do nothing and say we are fighting for peace and stabilization in Iraq.

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.

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]
