Question

1995

17 August, Murder of John Hron (1 child)

Should the above listing really be here since it occurred after the Holocaust? Admittedly, there is a neo-Nazi connection, but I don't see that it belongs on the list. Not sure where it would go. It is important and should be linked in my opinion.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 13:40, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

no it has no place in this list. Also the children of Goebbels do not belong here! "The Holocaust is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, its allies, and collaborators." 1995 is not anymore part of the Holocaust and Goebbels children are certainly not victims of Hitlers extermination campaign. --noclador (talk) 08:04, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename?

I just created Category:Children in the Holocaust. I does seem to me that we could rename and simply this article's title accordingly, to Children in the Holocaust. I don't see the need for "History of..." The Holocaust is obviously an historical event, and we do strive for the most concise article titles. We often use "History of..." for when a historical article has been split off from the main article, which is not the case here. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects for Discussion

I have started a discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 November 4#List of murders of children by Nazis, which redirects to this article. If you have any views on it, please comment there. Si Trew (talk) 13:06, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The struggle of Polish children was totally omitted in the article. Until now.

The article was intentionally omitting the case of ethnic-Polish children. The Jewish and Romani children were included, but Polish children were placed far down the article as some unimportant addition! It's scandalous. The facts are like this - the ethnically Polish children were the second largest group of Holocaust child-victims, right after the Jews and before the Gypsies (Romanis). As it comes to this so-called "doctor" Mengele, Polish children were his third largest victims, after Jewish and Romani children. Even considering the famous video and photographies on which those poor little children stand behind the barbed wire, showing their numbers tatooed on their forearms, the identified children include both Jewish and Polish ethnicities. Therefore, Polish children MUST be mentioned between Jews and Roma in this article. Yatzhek (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Add New Section: Children in Transit Camps

Hello,

In an effort to add to the experience the children in the holocaust went through, it is imperative to add a section on transit camps. Transit camps differ from extermination camps because they were a transitional holding place. Jewish people were rounded up and placed in transit camps to wait for their fate. Children in the transit camps dealt with lack of food, lack of education and lack of knowledge for what was to come. For many, transit camps were a crucial part for children in the holocaust because it was the first place they were taken after being ripped away from their homes. The section will include information on the education children received, the living situations they were in and the aid they received from outside sources throughout their time at the transit camps. An important note about children in transit camps is that the transitional time at these camps allowed the children more time to escape or be rescued by family members whom were not in capture.

If you have any comments on my ideas for a new section I would love to hear your feedback.

Hi Catie2414, this looks like a good suggestion - my only note is that since it deals with children during the Holocaust, to make sure that you're careful to remain neutral. It's difficult to be neutral about anything that relates to the persecution of others, but it gets especially hard when it deals with children.

Years Preceding the Holocaust

Hello,

I wanted to improve on this article by talking about the lives of Jewish children pre-Holocaust mainly in the years of 1933 till 1940. I think this could add to the article because it will give an idea of how the children were affected even before the Holocaust became. I will primarily be talking about their lives pertaining to school and how they were affected by the change of government and the rise of Nazism. My main source for this will be from "Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany" by Marion A. Kaplan. Love to hear your input. Thanks!

Proposed Edits

I am planning to edit the “Segregation in Schools” section of the article utilizing Marion Kaplan’s chapter “The Daily Lives of Jewish Children” in Between Dignity and Despair.^[1] Kaplan’s monograph is a reliable source because it was published by a university press and written by Kaplan who currently serves as a Professor of Modern Jewish History at NYU.

The majority of my edits will be focused on adding information to the “Segregation in Schools” section. In particular, I noticed that the article could use some more information regarding the 1933 Law Against the Overcrowding in German Schools and its effects on Jewish children. I plan to add information about the exemptions given to the Jewish students regarding the law as well as the decrease in the Jewish student population in non-compulsory grades after the 1933 law in various cities.^[2] The decrease occurred at much greater rates than required by the 1933 law, which highlights how many felt compelled to leave due to the hostile environment. Additionally, I plan to include the number of Jewish schools and the percentage of Jewish children in these schools in the mid-1930s to highlight the shift away from public education and towards private schools. ^[3] Beyond these additions, I plan to make a few minor changes in the section to clarify the writing including adding citations on uncited information and changing some of the sentences in the first paragraph to avoid the use of a passive voice.

Altogether I plan to add about 150 words. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page.” (Skyelar24 (talk) 02:48, 4 May 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Disabled

The systematic murder of disabled people, among them many children, deserves more attention than just a few words in the introduction of this page. Writer Suzanne E. Evans called her book about them 'Forotten Crimes'. I hope someone can write some lines about their horrific fate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.90.39 (talk) 22:37, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
