In some religions the body needs to be whole (as in, the state it was at death) in order to be buried/for the soul to be considered eligible for the afterlife.

I am fairly certain there are some strict restrictions on what one can do with a body in Judaism, which I think was why their bodies were burned during the Holocaust, as it was unholy for Jews.

(If I'm wrong, here, feel free to correct me, it's been a damn long time since I read up on any WWII/Holocaust history)

You're correct about the Jewish believes, I think, but I wanted to point out that they didn't burn the bodies for that reason(Nazis didn't even have that much knowledge about Jews). They did it because it was more efficient and made them easier to bury. Personally, that makes it more horrible.

Ah, okay. I just remember (it was at the Museum of Tolerance, I think...?) being told that the term Holocaust meant burnt offerings or something, and the term was used because for Jews, burning of bodies was unholy. And I'm with you there, cold efficiency is practically worse than intention in this case. :(

which I think was why their bodies were burned during the Holocaust, as it was unholy for Jews.
I can't prove or disprove this, but I will posit that burning lots of bodies is less hassle than burying lots of bodies, so there would have been just as much practicality as a final 'fuck you' in doing so.
