Because he was one of if not the leading force behind it. Nazi germany which was under his rule committed the murders he signed off of. Simply as that to me he didn't stop it, he let it happen and used propganada to keep it going!
-
because he was the main head of the holocaust...or else the brain of the holocaust...
-
While I believe that World War II would've occured without Hitler (it is never just one person) he is the figurehead and in many ways a prominent force behind it.
-
He was the philosophical leader of the Nazi Party who organized and perpetrated the plot. A better question is why don't the other countries share the blame as well?
-
Hitler planned, instituted and was responsible for the holocaust. Without him it would not have happened. Perhaps learning a little bit about the history of the holocaust would show you why your question makes little sense. But then that wouldn't suit your interests would it, to actually know the facts? It never does for White supremacists and before you think that people are dumb enough to fall for this, the link in your profile is to a thinly disguised anti Semitic site that you run under the guise of a bulletin board, silly mistake that.

Because WWII and the Holocaust are two different things that happened simultaneously. While parts of this world were involved in WWII, they were not all involved in the Holocaust. And those that WERE involved in it, were pulled in because of their link to Hitler.

It was one of the most bizzare incidents in the history of mankind.Holocaust is something, thinking of which would send a chill down the spine of any effigy of toughness. The way he wanted to gain power was really aweful and his ways were as savage as that of Pol-Pot Of Cambodia. The incidents could never be wiped off from the minds of the people whose ancestors suffered.They are gonna haunt some for their lives.Still stuffs like that are carried out in some places.The only difference is, that was named as Holocaust and its given a new name of terrorism.

It's sad when I see questions like this - because you and how many other people don't really understand. I can say go read your history book - but would you? You just grasp at straws, but don't have the understanding of what really was going on. and why the US stepped in.

We always remember who's in charge of the main countries/factions in war and even more so with WW2 since everytime it's mentioned on history channels and books his name is repeatedly used
-
because he was the head honcho
-
Because thats who our history books mention the most.

Probably for the same reason that when the Republican party is mentioned nowadays, people think of Rush Limbaugh. ;-)
-
Some people still believe the Holocaust never happened.

Yeah, Hitler forced these other countries to Kill all the jews...Rolls eyes. http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/bldied.htm

Nazism. You think of that, you think of Hitler.

The countries other than Germany were involved by virtue of being defeated and occupied by German soldiers and therefore not able to prevent the removal of certain groups of people for extermination. There were some people in these countries who also agreed with the process and therefore participated. There were others who felt trapped by the situation and to save their life or that of their families they collaborated by serving in positions that they had previously, such as police, prison guards, railroad employees etc. There were also some who at personal risk made efforts to remove people from danger by hiding and smuggling them out of the occupied country. So it is not hard to associate the architect of the holocast with the word.

Some fucker's gotta take the blame.

Rubbish. Because Joseph Stalin is Russian and had if not just as many Jews killed in concentration camps. He didn't like the Jews either. Everyone hated the Jews. Every country had a problem with Jews. They still do. Hitler killed so many of them, that's why. But Joe Stalin was a close second. At least Hitler wasn't killing his own people. Joe Stalin was. If he found you didn't like him, all of a sudden you were a political prisoner and thrown into a Russian gulag. Good old Joe Stalin, an F'n wacko.
