There were several characteristics to the Nazi Holocaust which, taken together, distinguish it from other genocides in history. The Holocaust - Premeditation. In 1904, Alfred Ploetz founded the German Eugenics Society. Sixteen years later, a work seminal to the development of the German eugenics movement, The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life, was published.

Holocaust denial, or Holocaust revisionism as it is referred to by its supporters, is the belief that the Holocaust did not occur as it is defined by mainstream historiography. Key elements of this belief are the explicit or implicit rejection that, in the Holocaust: The Nazi government had a policy of deliberately targeting the Jews and the Gypsies for extermination as a people; Around six million Jews and millions of others (including Gypsies, homosexuals, and Jehovah's Witnesses) were systematically killed by the Nazis and their allies; and Among other methods, gas chamber ...

Holocaust theology refers to a body of theological and philosophical debate, soul-searching, and analysis, with the subsequent related literature, that attempts to come to grips with various conflicting views about the role of God in this human world and the dark events of the European Holocaust that occurred during World War II (1939-1945) when around 11 million people, including six million Jews were subjected to genocide by the Nazis and their cohorts.

Aharon Rokeach (1877 - August 18, 1957) was the fourth rebbe of the Belz Hasidic dynasty from 1926 to 1957. Aharon inherited the mantle of leadership from his father, Yissachar Dov Rokeach (I), upon the latter's death in 1926. Aharon's rule as rebbe saw the devestation of the Belz community, along with many other Hasidic sects in Galicia and elsewhere in Poland during the Holocaust.

The Holocaust - Concentration and Labor Camps 1933-1945. Starting in 1933, the Nazis set up concentration camps within Germany, many of which were established by local authorities, to hold political prisoners and "undesirables". These early concentration camps were eventually consolidated into centrally run camps, and by 1939, six large concentration camps had been established. After 1939, with the beginning of the Second World War, the concentration camps increasingly became places where the enemies of the Nazis, including Jews and POWs, were either killed or forced to ...

Public denial of the Holocaust is a criminal offence in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Switzerland, and is punishable by fines and jail sentences.

Main article: Names of the Holocaust The word holocaust originally derived from the Greek word holokauston, meaning "a completely (holos) burnt (kaustos) sacrificial offering" to a god. Since the late 19th century, 'holocaust' has primarily been used to refer to disasters or catastrophes. By the late 1970s, however, the conventional meaning of the word became the Nazi genocide. The term is also used by many in a narrower sense, to refer specifically ...

The term "denier" is objected to by the people to whom it is applied, who prefer "revisionist". Most contend that the latter term is deliberately misleading. While historical revisionism is the re-examination of accepted history, with an eye towards updating it with newly discovered, more accurate, and less-biased information, "deniers" have been criticised for seeking evidence to support a preconceived theory, omitting substantial facts. Broadly, historical revisionism is the approach that history as it has been traditionally told, < ...

The Holocaust - Displaced Persons and the State of Israel. The Holocaust and its aftermath left millions of refugees, including many Jews who had lost most or all of their family members and possessions, and often faced persistent anti-Semitism in their home countries. The original plan of the Allies was to repatriate these "Displaced Persons" to their country of origin, but many refused to return, or were unable to as their homes or communities had been destroyed. As a result, more than 250,000 languished ...
