Answer 3

Even though Nazi Germany began arresting political prisoners and forcing many "un-desireables" into concentration camps the Germans did not begin exterminating them until after WW2 began. Even after the war began, Germany kept the holocaust a secret to the outside world. As the truth began to leak out, many people did not believe it---most people had no clue until the truth was revealed by the news after the war and during the Nuremberg war crime trials.
The holocaust did not start World War 2, no one knew about the holocaust until the war was over.

Answer 4

Between 1941 and 1945, Jews were targeted and methodically murdered in the largest genocide of the 20th century. This genocide was part of a broader aggregate of acts of oppression and killings of various ethnic and political groups in Europe by the Nazis. Every arm of Germany's bureaucracy was involved in the logistics of the genocides, turning the Third Reich into a genocidal state. Non-Jewish victims of broader Nazi crimes include Gypsies, Poles, communists, homosexuals, Soviet POWs, and the mentally and physically disabled. In total, approximately 11 million people were killed, including one million Jewish children alone Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed. A network of about 42,500 facilities in Germany and German-occupied territories were used to concentrate, confine, and kill Jews and other victims and between 100,000 to 500,000 people were direct participants in the planning and execution of the Holocaust.
