Describe the holocaust

History
2 answers:
gavmur [86]4 years ago

The word “Holocaust,” from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned), was historically used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an altar. Since 1945, the word has taken on a new and horrible meaning: the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies and homosexuals) by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community. After years of Nazi rule in Germany, during which Jews were consistently persecuted, Hitler’s “final solution”–now known as the Holocaust–came to fruition under the cover of world war, with mass killing centers constructed in the concentration camps of occupied Poland.

The Holocaust was a devastating time. Many innocent Jews, homosexuals, and people with disabilities were killed, simply because they were different. It started in 1933, and didn't officially end until 1945. These people were put in concentration camps to be worked to death, starved, put in gas chambers, and died horrible deaths. It was quite a sad time.

Explain how the Von Thunen Model describes an urban rural set up, and what is included in each ring of the model.
prisoha [69]

The Von Thunen Model describes an urban rural setup with the following assumptions:

1. That the city is centrally located within an isolated state that has no external influences and is self-sufficient.

2. That an unoccupied wilderness surrounds the isolated state.

3. That the state's land is completely flat and there are no mountains or rivers to interrupt the terrain.

4. That the climate and soil quality are consistent throughout the entire state.

5. That the farmers in the isolated state will transport their goods to the market through oxcart, across the land, and is directly to the center of the city. Thus, there are no roads.

6. Farmers will act to maximize their profits.  

The Four Rings

1. First ring - the ring that is closest to the city and includes intensive farming and dairying  

2. Second ring - firewood and timber would be produce for building materials and fuel

3. Third ring - includes extensive field crops like grains for bread

4. Fourth or final ring - ranching
