Quoted By:
During World War II, Germany rounded up millions of civilians (Jews and non-Jews) who could potentially become wartime saboteurs, belligerents, spies, informants, subversives, etc. Germany then relocated them to various camps; they would remain in such camps whilst the war was going on. At the end of the war, Germany planned to move all camp internees somewhere outside of Europe (assuming they won WWII). With regard to the Jews, Hitler had considered moving them to Madagascar. There was never a plan to kill the Jews of Europe. Hitler's "Final Solution" was a plan to relocate all Jews out of Europe - it was not a plan to exterminate them.
As it turned out, the vast majority of such potential subversives were, in fact, Jews. Why? Because Jews were overwhelmingly leftist, communist, Marxist, etc, and thus many were naturally sympathetic to the USSR, which was of course communist and at war with Germany. For these reasons, Jews couldn't be trusted. Hence they were put in secured camps along with anyone, of any religion/creed/ethnicity/race/nationality, who may potentially engage in subversive activities. Homosexuals were put in, not because they were homosexual, but rather because homosexuals are almost universally, politically speaking, leftist.
So what about all these Jews who allegedly died in and around the camps? Well, the majority who died did so in the final months of the war (about 300,000). In late 1944 and early 1945, the Allies were bombing Germany into the stone age. Roads, bridges, rail lines, etc, were destroyed and hence Germany could no longer supply the various internment camps with food and medicine. The result? A lot of people died of disease and starvation both in the camps and all throughout Germany, including huge numbers of German civilians.
