In a police state it is extremely difficult to speak out against government policy. The point is not only that it requires courage but that it is very difficult to make oneself heard. Unlike in a democracy there is no forum for discussing such matters. For example, writing to the newspapers is pointless as dissident views are not published, holding protest meeting is usually impossible because the organizers are usually arrested before they can achieve anything, and so on.
The penalties for speaking out were very drastic indeed. Some individuals did speak out in Nazi Germany, but many of them were seized and sent to prison or concentration camps and/or executed. Their "crime" was reported as treason. The media did not report them as having spoken out.
Obviously, people only take such risks if they feel very strongly about things. Certainly, by the time World War 2 had started most Germans had other preoccupations.
The Holocaust was a very complex grid, like in Tron Legacy. There were gairds at every possible escape and the people outside the camps would rather help themselfs then help others. And because they would be killed...
Generally because of the human instinct for survival and self preservation.
Just like everyone else, the Jews were unarmed civilians. How much do you
suppose you would resist if a squad of Marines took away the family next door
in the middle of the night?
Also, the Germans practiced deception so that most victims were kept unaware
of what was going to happen.
The better question is: Why wasn't there more objection from everyone ELSE
during the Holocaust ?
No. The United States holds absolutely no responsibility for what happened in the Holocaust. It happened in a different continent, perpetrated by a country far more advanced militarily .
There were threee main powers.... Hitler was the leader of Germany, Mussolini was the leader of Italy and HiroHito was the leader of Japan --- Please don't treat World War 2 and the Holocaust as the same thing! The Holocaust took place during World War 2, but there was much more to World War 2 than the Holocaust. Japan, for example, was not involved in the Holocaust at all ...
Parents always worry about their children, if you put them in a more dangerous situation, then this worry is more likely to increase rather than disappear.
it was not, the Holocaust was much more organised and the victims clearly defined.
post, telephone, telegraph, radio, dead drops and many more, bascially all that were available.
850 members of the Danish Underground Resistance movement have been accounted for but there were probably more than that who where not counted doing covert actions against the German Nazis.
More Jews killed during the Holocaust. Over 6,000,000 (6 million) Jews were killed during the Holocaust. The Jews used for slave labor and medical testing that died aren't part of that number.
that is more of a post-Holocaust concept. But Hitler did believe in aryan superiority.
Leon Cohen was one man who pulled Jews' teeth during the Holocaust, but there were many more.
During the holocaust, the main religion affected was Judaism. Please don't be daft, phrase your question more carefully next time.
More than 6 million.
Stalin killed more than 20 million people. Only 6 million people were killed during the holocaust, many of which were jews, Gypsies, Muslims, and gays.
The Holocaust was the attempted extermination of Europe's Jews. At the same time there was an effort to kill as many Gypsies as possible. There were many more victims of the Nazis, but they were not persecuted like those in the Holocaust.
More than 3 but 3 are Communists, Jews and Slavs
Because it tell an important story and it educates the world of lives of real people during the Holocaust.It is important because it was written by a Jew in hiding during the Holocaust; it shows how traumatic and difficult it was for Jews during the Holocaust. And if you want to learn more about the Holocaust, it's a good read!!
More than 6,000,000 died in the holocaust because of Hitler and many of them were Jews and the others were men, women, and even children. =[
Anne Frank didn't stop the Holocaust. She just made a diary on the thing. The Allies stopped the Holocaust. Anne Frank was just a teenager during the Holocaust. She could not have stopped it. The above answer is correct. See link below for more information.
