The Holocaust Encyclopedia. [132] These orders included, from 1942, facilitating deportations to extermination camps. By mid-1942, victims were being deported from ghettos across Europe in sealed freight trains to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, they were gassed, worked or beaten to death, or killed by disease, starvation, cold, medical experiments, or during death marches.

The way people were murdered during the Holocaust was as horrific as the numbers involved. Informants pointed out who was Jewish and the Poles who were helping to hide them[145] during the Judenjagd (hunt for the Jews). [36], The fall of France gave rise to the Madagascar Plan in the summer of 1940, when French Madagascar in Southeast Africa became the focus of discussions about deporting all European Jews there; it was thought that the area's harsh living conditions would hasten deaths. [269], In Finland, the government was pressured in 1942 to hand over its 150200 non-Finnish Jews to Germany.

To prevent panic, they were told the gas chambers were showers or delousing chambers. [c], Death rates were heavily dependent on the survival of European states willing to protect their Jewish citizens. [421] In occupied countries, the survival of the state was likewise correlated with lower Jewish death rates: 75 percent of Jews survived in France and 99 percent in Denmark, but 75 percent died in the Netherlands, as did 99 percent of Jews who were in Estonia when the Germans arrivedthe Nazis declared Estonia Judenfrei ("free of Jews") in January 1942 at the Wannsee Conference.
