The impact the Holocaust had on the world was that it changed the way the world saw others and mainly Germans. Not to mention it showed how a person, can raise through the ranks of politics with his fascist beliefs and generate those beliefs onto millions of his own countrymen. The Holocaust was is classed as Mass Genocide, meaning that it has been the cause, through the murder of innocent people, of hundreds and thousands of deaths that were not warranted. The fact of the matter is, Hitler was a fascist, and after World War 1, when Germans lost control of their own country the country needed someone who would fight for their land back and that person was Adolf Hitler. Germany needed a leader of the Reich and Hitler was powerful enough to become that person. He formed the Nazi party, who believed in the superiority of the German people. Anyway, the effect was well, disastrous.

I don't know how much you know about the holocaust so I will just assume that I should start from the beginning.  The holocaust was basically the period of time when Hitler (the German Dictator) decided that Jews were the reason that Germany was suffering.  His solution? Get rid of the Jews.  And that's exactly what he did.  He built up an army of "Nazis"  and all of them either a). Agreed with him or b). Were too scared of him to say they didn't agree with him.  With his army, he built concentration camps, places where he sent his political opponents, or people who didn't agree with him.  He also sent away Jews, Jehovah Witnesses (another religion that is different from the general Christian religion), handicapped people, and anybody that got in his way.  He took over Europe one country at a time.  The people sent to concentration camps suffered for years until the end of World War II when Hitler was stopped.  The impact that it had on the world was huge.  They didn't call it "world war" for nothing.  Over 22 million people died.  Many of them died in the war but a lot of them died in concentration camps as well.  6 million Jews were killed.  A lot of people died as a result of bad conditions in the concentration camps but many died because they were sent to "the showers". The showers were rooms that many prisoners were squeezed into and then poisonous gas was released into the room.  Scary at the thought.  Another effect, other than the 22 million deaths is the increasing amount of people that believe in anti-Semitism (prejudice against anyone who is Jewish).  People also developed a new prejudice toward the Germans, even though, not all Germans are bad.  I hope this answers your question.  I wrote you a novel huh??

Historical figures vary but these numbers are an average. The total number of Jewish people living in the countries involved in WW II were @ 9,800,000. Of that, between 5,600,000 and 5,850,000 perished. Also, lest we forget, between 6 and 7 million others died as a direct result of Nazi ethnic/religious cleansing: Russians, Romanians, Poles, Freemasons, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, and the disabled.

Some historians and WWll military experts claim that if Hitler had not spent so much time, money and manpower on the Holocaust, that Germany might have won the war.

The impact of the Holocaust was different for different people of the world depending upon where they were and who they were at the time. To Germans, the Holocaust was a blot of shame on their country's history of culture and sophistication. But the Holocaust took place only thirty years after Germany had lost its Kaiser (Monarchy). Sometimes really bad people take aggressive steps to fill voids in power, because they want power. Hitler seems to have been like that. He had evil intentions because he was deranged, but he was able to speak in convincing ways and manipulate masses into believing he was a much different natured man than he actually was. His rise to power itself has impacted the world because of the Holocaust. And how the Holocaust impacted the world was that it was in a time of media technology. It was the first genocide which had newsreel footage of survivors looking like walking skeletons walking out of the camps they had been imprisoned in. So it impacted the world so shocked to find that this was even a possibility. Seeing was believing, in the worst possible way. And it made everyone afraid of the darker natures of power.

The Holocaust, also referred to as Ha-Shoah, is the name given to genocide of minority groups of Europe and North Africa through World War II by Nazi Germany and its associates.

Initial elements of the Holocaust comprise of the Kristallnacht pogrom of November 8th, 1938 and the T-4 Euthanasia Program, heading to the later application of killing squads and extermination camps in an enormous and centrally prearranged attempt to kill every potential member of the population targeted by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

The Jews of Europe were the main victims of the Holocaust in what the Nazis described as the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". It is generally said that roughly six million Jews were killer in the Holocaust. A number of additional minority members also putrefied in the Holocaust.

It was disasterous. Many had died and the world has no idea what to think now. People nowadays think of Holocaust when the term "Germans" comes up. The world is also shocked, horrified, and disgusted. Also, people probably will be more aware of their future leaders. They might check their backgrounds and their goals for the future so that history won't repeat itself. The Holocaust was a terrible time for many people. Especially Jews. They were beaten, killed, murdered, starved, and, sometimes, forced to walk hundreds of miles to the concentration camps, also known as their death site. Many millions died and the population of Jews had decreased rapidly. Think about it. If all this happened back then, how do you think people feel right now?

I believe that the dreadfully perished people that were unfortunatly killed by the Nazies ranged from the approxamite value of six million to even seven million. This was terrible and should of been condoned before the period of Nazies came into play immidiatly.

It left a brain-washed generation of people that thought that there was such thing as the Arian raice or the "perfect" race. It also wiped out about 11-13 million people off the face of the Earth in just a few years. It left families wiped out, traditions destroyed, and minds traumatized.

The Holocaust was a brutal murder of millions of people. I believe tha a person cannot be norm to do this . The influence on the world was overwhelming.today people don't know what to think of others we arent sure who to trust.what hitler did will tell people tha power is something we arent ready for and possibly wont ever be because when it is within your grasp it pushes you.you can't be sure what you might do.

Without the Holocaust I don't think the creation of Israel would have had much support, as before the Holocaust, hating Jewish people seemed to be socially accepted for the most part.
So my take on it is, the Holocaust has essentially fueled much of the so called terrorism of the latter part of the 20th century, and the foreseeable chunk of the 21st century to come.
Although I am not about to pin this all entirely on the state of Israel or Jewish people in general.
I fully recognize my own country (America) and its idiotic foreign policy has made our own bed for us.
And all we are fighting is simply blow back from previous interferences in the region, that being the Middle East.

Well one effect that this had was the HUGE decrease in the Jewish population, that's for certain. This ethnic cleansing caused a great number of other countries to join forces and end these atrocities.
