Meaning

Antisemitism is prejudice against or hostility towards Jews often rooted in hatred of their ethnic background, culture, and/or religion. In its extreme form, it "attributes to the Jews an exceptional position among all other civilizations, defames them as an inferior group and denies their being part of the nation(s) in which they reside. Antisemitism may be manifested in many ways, ranging from individual expressions of hatred and discrimination against individual Jews to organized violent attacks by mobs, or even state police, or military attacks on entire Jewish communities.

"Forget meanskill all the victims again. "

Hitler in 1922 in a private interview with Major Helle said: "When I get power, the extermination of Jews to be my first and foremost task." In another part of the interview he also showed his bigotry: "I will build a gallows in Munich, such as Marienplatz and the there will be as many of them as traffic allows. Then the Jews will be hanged one after another and stay there until each will get stinky... When you release a place on the gallows, now on it will hang another Jew. This will continue until they be destroyed all the Jews in Munich. Exactly the same way it takes place in other cities until Germany is completely rid of all Jews. "

Wroclaw professor Dr. Ing. Zunker, on Himmler's orders to investigate the properties of Birkenau's water wrote:"This water is not fit to wash his mouth."

Food quality was much worse than conventional food, by which scientists calculate food's caloric value. In Auschwitz prisoners receive a hard-working food daily caloric value of only about 40%. It was less than required to maintain a normal person's life without work and movement. This malnutrition set in a gradual destruction of the organism. Systematic and deliberate malnutrition was one of the main reasons that people soon after the arrival died.
