Two Approaches to Examining this history:
When they examine the factors which When they examine the factors which enabled the Holocaust to occur they enabled the Holocaust to occur they are then what is calledare then what is called FUNCTIONALIST.
When they believe that from the When they believe that from the moment of the Nazis gaining of power moment of the Nazis gaining of power that all Jewry was to be annihilated that all Jewry was to be annihilated then this is what is called anthen this is what is called an INTENTIONALIST.

The Evian Conference, July, 1938: Many countries discuss why they can’t accept refugees.
“Suppose the conference actually does find territories other than Palestine to shelter Jewish refugees? If other doors are open, it will damage Zionism in Palestine! Better the conference comes to no decision.” David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) future PM of Israel.

“If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will be not the Bolshevization of the earth and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe.” Hitler, January, 1939, speaking the the German parliament.

There was a plan to ship Jews to Madagascar, but with Britain still fighting on, this was scrapped in the summer of 1940.
Shipped to centralized locations in Poland; ghettos (once more).
Warsaw, Lodz, Krakow, Lublin were the most popular cities with Jewish ghettos.
![Page 28: The Holocaust](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56814d08550346895dba3b95/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“Non-productive” Jews were taken out of the ghettos for “resettlement”.

The Final Solution
Several ways of mass killing were utilized, but they were slow and psychologically painful on the murderers: shooting and carbon-monoxide.
Solution: Zyklon B
![Page 31: The Holocaust](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56814d08550346895dba3b95/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
On January 20, 1942, the aims of the Final Solution were dictated: 11 million JEWS in Europe. 4.5 are in German held areas, 5 are in Russia.
![Page 32: The Holocaust](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56814d08550346895dba3b95/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
All are to be gathered in the East.
They are to be used as slave labour. Most will die from disease, starvation, and brutality.
Jews will be taken to transit ghettos and then to camps.

The Economics of the Final Solution.
Nearly 500,000 slave labourers were used in German industry.
Many companies found in Germany today utilized this force: Krupp Steel, I.G. Furban Chemicals, Siemans, Graetz, and Krone-Presswerk.
Most produced war material.

By December, 1941, reports had been received by the allies of the genocide going on.
Two Czech Jews that had escaped from Auschwitz had evidence of what was happening and numbers; both were registrars in the camp.
The Allies chose not to believe this.
![Page 43: The Holocaust](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062519/56814d08550346895dba3b95/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
By August, 1944, aerial photographs of Auschwitz were taken.
Chimneys of the crematoria could be seen.

Rather than bomb that, the Americans aimed at Auschwitz III, the synthetic rubber factory.
In the end it was felt that bombing death camps would endanger crews.

War Crimes and TrialsHolocaust crimes were not pursued
as fervently as other crimes.Especially by the British.Of the thousands involved in the
Holocaust only a fraction have been brought to justice.
More Japanese soldiers/leaders were executed than Germans.

Many prominent businessmen who benefited by the slave labour, were not punished, or were given light sentences.

The Endurance of Anti-Semitism
In Poland nine months after the war, more than one thousand Jews were murdered in a series of pogroms.
Revisionist historians seek to prove that the Holocaust is a Jewish conspiracy.
