He also ordered a census and the establishment of Jewish administrative councils within the ghettos to implement Nazi policies and decrees.
Soon after Hitler announced that Germany and Austria were a single country called “Greater Germany”. He also invited Czechoslovakia. Hitler used the same trick to get hold of the Sudetenland, area of Czechoslovakia where three million German-speaking people lived there. Hitler ordered his supporters to make demonstrations in Sudetenland that the Czech government can not control so they hand over to Germany. But the Czechs refused, and prepared to defeat themselves.
USSR and France made a promise to Czechs that they were going to help them. However, the leaders of Britain and France didn’t want war. Six months later half of Czechoslovakia became part of Germany and the other part that was left was later called Slovakia.
World War Two started and this made Jewish question more urgent. By 1941 Nazi leaders realised that there were so many Jews in occupied Europe that it would take too long time to eliminate them all. In January 1942 at the Wannesee Conference the Nazi decided on “Final Solution” to the Jewish problem. Final solution included the talks about using the modern way ’process’ Jews to death in the fastest time possible. To do this many camps turned into death camps. Jews were gassed when they went inside them.
Nazi also had special troops SS units called Einsatgruppen (action squads). They were murder gangs. They went into invited countries rounded up and killed anyone who was left to be a threat. Einsatgruppen were responsible for deaths of hundred of people. Their victims included political leaders of Jews. When they entered a village or city they ordered the Jews to hand over their valuables to the leader of the unit before their execution. S.S made Jews throw their babies and small children on the bon-fires.
