Sheesh. The Germans collected Jews from all over Europe. You can google the simple stuff, Aurlito. [/clue]
You mean like kidnapped them? because as far as I can recall Germany only had France, Austria and Poland under control at that time. A Jew for a Dime. nice touch.
They rounded them up from everywhere, not only the ones you mentioned. There were thousands living in eastern Europe too, and Russia.
In the late 1930's the Nazis killed thousands of handicapped Germans by lethal injection and poisonous gas. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, mobile killing units following in the wake of the German Army began shooting massive numbers of Jews and Roma (Gypsies) in open fields and ravines on the outskirts of conquered cities and towns. Eventually the Nazis created a more secluded and organized method of killing enormous numbers of civilians -- six extermination centers were established in occupied Poland where large-scale murder by gas and body disposal by cremation were systematically conducted. Victims were deported to these centers from Western Europe and from the ghettos in Eastern Europe which the Nazis had established. In addition, millions died in the ghettos and concentration camps as a result of forced labor, starvation, exposure, brutality, disease and execution.

Would you like to see some photographs taken in colour 10 or 15 years ago that are worse than the ones you're talking about?
The quality of the early post-war photography was terrible. Understand that producing great photographs was not exactly the most important thing in the minds of the people who were rescuing Holocaust survivors. Do some reading, watch some movies, Schindler's List for example.
How do you know that these pictures were taken by the rescuers? they could have been taken by Germans per se.
And I watched Schindler's List and chose not to believe everything that's been shown in it.
Maybe you should watch it again. It is completely true. Maybe the little girl in the red dress isn't but it is based on fact.
