The "Final Solution": Overview Summary and Facts about the Final Solution

The “Final Solution” is a Nazi term used to refer to their plan to abrogate the Jewish race during World War II. The race extermination of the Jews was the summit of the Nazis anti-Semitic hatred. The massacre of the Jews was invoked in stages. Before the war, Nazi policies of persecution and segregation contemplate German Jews. After the Nazi party confiscated power in 1933, state-sponsored racism procreated anti-Jewish legislation, boycotts, "Aryanization", and colossal street violence pogroms. All of these stages consistently segregated the Jews from society and eventually drive them out of their country.

After the Germans invaded Poland in September 1939, anti-Jewish protocols peaked to imprisonment and eventual murder of European Jews. The Nazi’s began to exile Polish and western European Jews to ghettos to live in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with inadequate food rations. When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, the Schutzstaffel acted as mobile killing units that began massive killing operations intended at Jewish communities. Later during autumn 1941, the Schutzstaffel units used mobile gas vans. These vans had exhaust pipes constructed to pump poisonous carbon monoxide gas into sealed spaces to kill the Jews. This was arranged to correlate shooting operations. On July 31, 1941, Nazi leader Hermann Goering entitled SS General Reinhard Heydrich to make provisions for the usage of a "complete solution of the Jewish question."

In autumn of 1941, the code name Operation Reinhard was given to this solution. Nazi leaders established four killing centers in Poland: Belzec, Chelmno, Sobibor, and Treblinka. The Auschwitz-Birkeneau concentration camp and Majdanek labour camp was modified into extermination camps. These camps were the final stage in the “Final Solution.”

Facts

 * Nearly six million Jews were murdered in Europe as part of Adolf Hitler's "Final Solution" to what the Nazi dictator called the Jewish problem, according to Yad Vashem, Israel's national memorial to the victims.
* The decision to kill all the Jews of Europe was formulated in late 1941, and Nazi officials at the Wannsee Conference in January 1942 coordinated the apparatus of mass murder.
* Most Holocaust victims were murdered in six Nazi extermination camps. Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland was the largest and at least 1.1 million Jews were killed there before its liberation by the Red Army on January 27, 1945. In total 85pc of the Jewish population in Poland died - some 2.8m people.

* At least 1.5m children were killed in the Holocaust. Only an estimated 11pc of Jewish children who were alive in 1933 survived the Holocaust.

* Other victims of Nazi atrocities totalled an estimated 5.5m and included up to half a million Gypsies, an estimated 10,000-15,000 homosexuals and three million Poles.

* While all countries officially agree with the "never again" lesson of Auschwitz, some Holocaust researchers fault the wartime allies for not bombing the railway tracks that brought boxcars of Jews to the Nazi camp to be killed.

Quotes from The Book Thief

"They watched the Jews come down the road like a catalog of colours...I can tell you that that's exactly what they were, for many of them would die. They would greet me like their last true friend, with bones like smoke and their souls trailing behind."(Zusak, 391)

"Perhaps the death camps were kept secret but at times people were shown the glory of a labour camp like Dachau"(Zusak, 391)

He was dead. The man was dead. Just give him five more minutes and he would surely fall into the German gutter and die."(Zusak, 393)
