=Prewar Poland= by Alex Billet

Before the Germans invaded Poland the lives of Jewish people were as good as anyone else's life. Warsaw Poland’s capital’s had a prewar Jewish population of more than 350,000 about 30 percent of the city's total population. The Warsaw Jewish community was the largest in both Poland and Europe, and was the second largest in the world. On September 1, 1939, Warsaw suffered heavy air attacks and artillery bombardment. German troops entered Warsaw on September 29, shortly after its surrender and put a ghetto in the middle of the city. November 23, 1939, German civilian occupation authorities required Warsaw's Jews to identify themselves by wearing white armbands with a blue Star of David. The Germans closed Jewish schools, confiscated Jewish-owned property, and conscripted Jewish men into forced labor and dissolved prewar Jewish organizations. According to Polish data, only about 174,000 people were left in the city, less than six per cent of the prewar population. Approximately 11,500 of the survivors were Jews.

Poland Pre-War. By: Tay  Before the Germans invaded Poland, everyone’s lives were normal, like everyone else lives. Poland’s German occupation was Brutal. They considered that Poland people to be racially Inferior. When the Germans went to Poland they had a Campaign of Terror. The German shot thousands of Civilians, and then they had Poland Men work hard labor. They tried to destroy Polish culture by taking away Political, Religious, and Intellectual leadership. To make all this happen they were looking to kill all their leaders. They wanted to try to scare everyone by killing their leaders. They killed thousands of Teacher, Priests, and others. Many people were sent off to the Auschwitz and [|Lublin/Majdanek] Concentration Camps. Around 50,000 kids were taken from their families and sent off to Reich and sent off to Germanization Polices.

It was very normal much like our lives now. Jews and Germans were friends and could play in the park together. Antwerp, Belgium Antwerp became under Nazi rule in 1940 Many Jews hid from the German soldiers over 25,000 of them. This way they avoided being deported to concentration camps or killing ceners. But for those that got caught they were shipped to an internment camp, Gurs in France where they would stay until they shipped them to Auschwitz. Only 2,000 Jews who were deported survived the concentration camps. Jews were also forced to [|Breendonk] and Mechelen camps, which were holding centers until they were forced to go elsewhere. Belgium was liberated in September 1944. [|Holocaust Encyclopedia Belguim United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005432]

[] There were approximately 78,000 Jewish individuals who lived throughout Yugoslavia before Hitler invaded the country in 1941. Yugoslavia is bordered by Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungry, Austria, and the Adriatic Sea. March 25, 1941 the Nazi invasion started in Yugoslavia, they were ruled by German catholic satellite state. Jews were forced to board the train Danube River and from there they were sent to Treblinka. Yugoslavia had joined axis alliance with Germany and Yugoslav government. Germany invaded the Balkan nation of Yugoslavia and Greece in early April 1941. any Jewish businesses had three months to transfer to non-Jews or close down. there was a law that Jews were banned from a certain part of town.

Assignment 4/ Reading/Sophia notes/ Rzeszow, Poland Poland borders Germany, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, and Lithuania. According to Wikipedia, Polish Jews lived in Poland since the middle of the 16th century. There were approximately 3,000,000 Jewish Polish people who flourished in Poland before Hitler took over. The number of the Polish/ Jewish people who died during the Holocaust was about 3,000,000. In other words, all the Jewish people who lived in Poland, were murdered at the hands of the Nazi's. This fact to me is the saddest and most amazing testimony of the unleashed cruelty of one group of human beings to another.

Poland‘s Jewish life before the Nazi invasion was way different than any other country. Jews were living in every country in Europe. Jews were farmers, tailors, seamstresses, factory owners, accountants, doctors, teachers, and others. Later Nazi troops expanded their territory and soon hit Poland. When Poland became under Nazi rule about 1 out of 4 Jews would be dead in Poland. In September 1939 Poland became under attack. People tried to leave by any way they could. Like on bicycles, automobiles, or even on foot, and they only took what they could carry. Poland’s Jew’s fate is very sad. Their fate was either persecution or slave driving. They had forced labor to so harsh conditions it led to death. Many men, women, and children were murdered during the Holocaust. It was nothing to be happy about, but it is to be remembered and people should learn more about the Holocaust. =Jewish Population of Europe in 1933: Population Data by Country [| http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005161]=

===there was 7500 Jews before the Holocaust. Denmark got the best of it, they didn't have to wear the star or give up homes or anything. In 1943 the Jews were forced to depart to Germany. Many other people hid some of the Jews. Then the Nazis found 470 of them and deported them to Theresienstadt ghetto in Czhchoslavokia, dozens died.===

In 1945 the Germans deported the Jews to the Swedish Red Cross, almost all returned to Denmark. Only 120 of the Denmark Jews died. Highest Jewish survival rate.

Holocaust Assignment Lithuania

Anesa Ruiz-Haskins http://www.ushmm.org  Before the Holocaust there were more than 160,000 Jewish people. That was around seven percent of the population of Lithuania. Most of them lived there for a little longer than World War 1. Before the horrible Holocaust Jewish people were living great, going to school, working, they were just like everybody else. If you were to go to Lithuania you would see Jewish people walking on the streets, going to the beach, even watching a movie at the theater. Soon the Holocaust took place and Jewish people were not allowed to stay out past eight o' clock, were not allowed to watch movies or do anything else that involved entertainment, they couldn't even go to school with people who were not Jewish. Lithuania is located in Europe. It is bordered by Poland and Latvia. The Nazi army randomly invaded Lithuania and convinced people that lived there, that Jewish people were the reason that everything bad was happening to them. People that were not Jewish gave horrible riots. The riots started little before and shortly after the Nazi invasion. Lithuania’s Jewish population started to decrease because Jewish people where starting to run away to Latvia. A mobile killing unit called Einsatzgruppen grouped up with Hitler and his army to kill Jewish people living in Lithuania. By the end of August 1941 most Jewish people in Lithuania had been shot. 15,000 Lithuanian Jews were deported to labor camps, 5,000 other Lithuanian Jews were deported to extermination camps where they were killed. Hitler and his army had murdered about 90% of Lithuanian Jews, which is one of the highest victim rates in all of Europe.

Poland Cole k. There are three million Jews lived in Poland before WWII. After the war 3 million Jews were killed. They started living there in the middle of the sixteenth century. Nazis took over Poland in 1939. Polish Jews in Poland were first sent to ghettos, concentration camps, or killing centers. Life before the holocaust for the Jews was nice and normal. They were just like anybody else. as a matter of fact most people couldn't even tell the difference. The Jews did everything just like everybody else, such as camping, hanging out with friends, and swimming.
