Holocaust Prelude
Research on the events leading up to the Holocaust
Euthanasia and the Holocaust
The Nazis did not create this twisted version of euthanasia. Its roots lay in a selective reading of the evolutionary theories of Charles Darwin, and the distorted scientific thinking to which this gave birth.
The Einsatzgruppen
The Einsatzgruppen were special SS mobile formations tasked with carrying out the mass murder of Jews, communist functionaries, and others deemed unfit to live by the Nazis. They were first seen in action in Austria and the annexed parts of Czechoslovakia in 1938, as German forces occupied all (in the case of Austria) or certain regions (in the case of Czechoslovakia) of these countries in relatively peaceful annexations to the Reich.

Heinrich Himmler
As the war was drawing to a German defeat, Himmler was considered by many to be a candidate to succeed Hitler as the Führer of Germany. However, realizing the war was lost, Himmler attempted to approach the Allies for peace negotiations through the Head of the Swedish Red Cross, Count Folke Bernadotte. Himmler ordered the cessation of the mass slaughter of the Jews, and proposed the surrender of the German armies in the west, including Denmark and Norway, but the fight against the Russians would continue. Hitler, learning of the betrayal of his most trusted and loyal disciple was enraged, stripping Himmler of all of his offices.
Reinhard Heydrich
Reinhard Heydrich was born on 7 March 1904 in the German town Halle, and baptized Reinhardt Eugen Tristan. It was his given name of "Reinhardt" that would become synonymous (besides Auschwitz) with the deportation, mass shooting and systematic slaughter of European Jews and Romanies in Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and Majdanek

Majdanek
It was Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsführer – SS, who during his visit to Lublin on 20-21 July 1941 ordered Odilo Globocnik, the SS and Police Leader for the Lublin district, to establish a concentration camp in Lublin. Himmler also outlined a programme of economic and political tasks to be carried out in Lublin. Included in this programme was the expansion of the German Supply Works (DAW – Deutsche Ausrüstungswereke), which had existed since 1940 at the labour camp at 7 Lipowa Street, and the Clothing Works (Bekleidungswerke), which was established by Globocnik in 1941. In addition, Himmler included the building of an SS and police housing district in the programme in the area of the former airfield in Lublin. According to Himmler, the district, designed for 60,000 SS-men, would be linked to the old German town.
