I knew that the different concentration camps used different techniques like the Poisoned Showers, Ovens, shot into the pit, a train. I am not totally sure if this is true, and how people would die in a train?

Although we don't hear about it today, the hatred towards Jews that Hitler was infamous for was extremely common before he came into power- according to https://www.annefrank.org/en/topics/antisemitism/why-did-hitler-hate-jews/, "Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. He capitalised on antisemitic ideas that had been around for a long time." During WWI, Hitler fought with the Central Powers in the German Army- after the end of this war, he was upset with the defeat of the German Empire. The common myth at the time was that Jews and communists had betrayed the country and that they were the cause of the defeat; this brought along his prejudice against Jews and created a stereotypical enemy for many people to follow.

"The Nazis believed that exterminating the Jews was justified because the Jews were not only a 'low' and 'evil' race, but were affecting the lives of the Germans negatively. Hitler and the Nazis blamed them for all the social and economic problems in Germany. "

According to https://www.yadvashem.org/holocaust/about.html#learnmore "The crime of being a Jew was so great, that every single one had to be put to death – the men, the women, the children; the committed, the disinterested, the apostates; the healthy and creative, the sickly and the lazy – all were meant to suffer and die, with no reprieve, no hope, no possible amnesty, nor chance for alleviation."

According to https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/holocaust-remembrance-day/why-did-adolf-hitler-hate-the-jews-1.5088390 there are several reasons why Hitler could have hated the Jews,  one of them is that Hitler knew about his Jewish heritage, and because he was an illegitimate child he was ashamed. Another reason could be that the doctor who treated his mother when she had cancer was a Jew, and she died a slow painful death so he could be getting revenge. But the most likely reason is that Hitler held the Jews responsible for Germany losing WWI.

According to https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/why-did-hitler-hate-jews/, the beginning of Hitler's hatred toward Jews is not clear, but Jews have been hated for a long time due to religion, and later because of races.
----------------------------------------------------
"Hitler did not invent the hatred of Jews. Jews in Europe had been victims of discrimination and persecution since the Middle Ages, often for religious reasons. Christians saw the Jewish faith as an aberration that had to be quashed. Jews were sometimes forced to convert or they were not allowed to practise certain professions.

In the nineteenth century, religion played a less important role. It was replaced by theories about the differences between races and peoples. The idea that Jews belonged to a different people than the Germans, for instance, caught on. Even Jews who had converted to Christianity were still 'different' because of their bloodline.

The origin of Hitler's hatred of Jews is not clear. In Mein Kampf, he described his development into an antisemite as the result of a long, personal struggle. Supposedly, his aversion to everything Jewish came to fruition when he was living and working as a painter in Vienna (1908-1913). Most historians believe that Hitler came up with this explanation in hindsight. He would have used it to assure people who were not yet convinced of his ideas that they would eventually see the light."

I am amazed to learn from encyclopedia.ushmm.org that the word Holocaust means "sacrifice by fire" I still wonder if that name of the "event" came after it was over? -Mrs. Silvius
