The Holocaust was one of the most inhumane eras for not only the Jews but also other groups such as the Russians. In 1933 the Nazis came into power and believed threat the Germans were superior to everyone else. They also believed that the Jews were far inferior to them and were a threat to their German Community. As a result the Nazis started to persecute the Jews by burning them; they were put into gas chambers. There were over six million Jews that were murdered during the Holocaust.
Why Did Hitler Hate the Jews? Most history students know that over six million Jews were slaughtered during World War II. However, there are actually several theories as to why Hitler hated the Jews. What was the cause that instigated one man to try and wipe out an entire race of people? Let us try and look at some of the possible causes or factors that lead to this cold-blooded massacre.
“To what extent did the persecution of the Jews intensify between 1933 and 1945?” Throughout the period of 1933 to 1945 the persecution of the Jews intensified greatly. It started out as stripping them of their German citizenship and then over time turned into genocide. Let it be said however that this persecution happened gradually, with many significant turning points. One of the first things that the Nazi’s did to try and persecute the Jews was the boycott on all Jewish owned shops and professions. This was where the Nazi’s ordered the German citizens to avoid Jewish shops.
The Holocaust is know tragedy. Everyone was responsible, Adolf Hitler, the Nazi army, German civilians and the rest of the free world including Canada. However each played a certain level of servity. Adolf Hitler wanted to get rid of all of the Jewish people in the world. He believed that Jewish people were inferior to other human begins.
He convinced most of Germany’s public that Jews were devil worshipers, were evil, and caused the economy to decline. He also said the superior race was Aryan race, a blonde haired blue eyed Caucasian, despite the fact he was not of the Aryan race himself. From this invasion, which took him a matter of days to take over Poland, he wanted to rid the world of Jewish people and take over all of
The damage of this left the night being called “The Night of Broken Glass” or Kristallnacht (Crystal Night). Out of all these reason I believe the shooting of Ernst Von Rath to be the most important reason to the persecution of Jews as it was a justification and gave evidence to all the bad propaganda that Hitler and the Nazis were spreading about Jewish
If we go back to World War 11- when the Germans had forced the Jewish people to wear yellow stars that identify who they were. This was just so they could be placed in the concentration camps later by the Nazis. You had most Germans believing that the Jews were below them. There for they never felt anything for discriminating against them, just because of whom they were. Because they had prejudged the Jews and felt that they were not worthy to live, so they decided to kill them all.
The Jewish culture was taken out of the society by taking them to concentration camp where they would be murdered. People knew about these camps all around the world, yet nobody stepped up tp do anything about it. Until the allied forces were successful in defeating Germany the concentration camps kept killing. I believe other cultures were practicing typical ethnocentrism as well. Most of the world were Christian and looked down on the Jews.
Holocaust Why was there a Holocaust, how did it affect people and why is it important that we remember it? Task 1 The Holocaust was an extremely tragic period of time in history between the years of 1933 to 1945. At an approximately 11 million lives were lost because of cruel racial prejudice. The killings took place in Europe during World War two run by the German Nazi party led by Adolf Hitler. The majority of the victims killed were Jews because they were undesirable and not the same race as the German Nazi’s.
The Holocaust was the destruction of Jews by the Nazi’s, lead by Adolf Hitler, in Germany through an unofficial government ordered plan. As many as 6 million Jews were exterminated at this time. Although the Holocaust took place during World War II the war was not the cause of the Holocaust. Word War II played a role in covering up the genocide of the Jews. No words can explain why these horrible actions were taken against these innocent people.
