Critical Thinking Questions

What factors led to the creation and implementation of Operation Reinhard?
How did the residents of the ghettos respond to mass deportations and what occurred when the residents realized what happened to those deported?
What did Rudolf Hoess’s testimony at the end of the war suggest about the Final Solution and planned deportation and resettlement?
How did Operation Reinhard differ from earlier Nazi actions and how was it similar?
Was resettlement seriously considered and why was it not used?

Respuesta :

1. Factors like the Germans losing ground in the war and Jewish resistance could have led to Operation Reinhard.

2. At first these residents didn't know what had been happening, but then they began to hear rumors and came to accept their fate, especially after their leader had committed suicide rather than have to picked which kids he would send off to the camps.

3. It contradicts the protocol of the Wannsee Conference and suggests that there was never any plan or intention to resettle the Jews.

4. It differed because it was a more planned out way and smarter way to execute the Jews. It was similar because it was a method of killing Jewish people.

5. It was never seriously considered. It was not used because it would have been to hard, as there were many failed attempts that occured before.
