Anti- Semitism and the Persecution of the Jewish population of Europe became more common during the Nazi rise in power in the early 1900’s. In 1920 the Nazis published their party program, consisting of 25 points. For example point four reads “Only those who are our fellow countrymen can become citizens. Only those who have German blood, regardless of creed, can be our countrymen. Hence no Jew can be a countryman.” The Nazis goal was to create a master race throughout Europe called the “Aryan Race” or the Germanic race. To fulfil this plan of a “master race” the Nazis declared that they intended to segregate groups that the party viewed as a danger and inferior to society. These groups included European Jews, Gypsies, those who were handicapped (both mentally and physically) and those who were deaf and blind. The main target of the Nazi government was still Jews in Europe whom they viewed “not as a religious group, but as a poisonous "race," which "lived off" the other races and weakened them” . As a result many Europ...
When it comes to rights and responsibilities, the Nazi soldiers abused their power and diminished Jewish rights. It was their belief (the Nazi soldiers) that it was their job to destroy and end a race, the Jewish race. They were led by the all famous Adolf Hitler. Many are surprised that Adolf Hitler was able to carry his evil plan so far, and others are not surprised at all.
The Holocaust began in 1933 when the Nazis instigated their first action against the Jews by announcing a boycott of all Jewish-run businesses. The Nuremberg Laws went into place on September 15, 1935 which began to exclude the Jews from public life. These laws went to the extent of stripping German Jews of the citizenship and then implemented a prohibition of marriage between the Jewish and the Germans. These laws set the legal precedent for further anti-Jewish legislation. Over the next several years, even more laws would be introduced. Jews would be excluded from parks, fired from civil service jobs, required to register all property and restricted Jewish doctors from practicing medicine on any person other than Jewish patients.
Unfortunately, Germany became the victim of a rising tyrant known as Adolf Hitler. Notably, Hitler's holocaust was definitely one for the books. In the 1930's, the worldwide economic depression hit Germany especially hard, and millions of people were out of work. Most Germans lacked confidence in their weak government, which provided an opportunity for the rise of a new leader. Adolf Hitler had an impeccable speech making ability and a keen sense of what people wanted to hear. He had a huge army of Nazis who were against the German government. The desperate Germans had no other choice than to vote for him. Now that Hitler had been elected, he began to target a specific group; Jews. Hitler used his personal opinion to speak for the people of Germany, recklessly persecuting the Jewish race of all evil that had come, when really he himself was the evil. After the scapegoating had taken place, and the problem had not yet been resolved, violence seemed to be the only option left. Hitler killed around 6 million Jews with his Nazis army. Next, the Swastika was created in order to legitimize and spread the new ideology; that the Jews were the enemy. Accordingly, a series of laws were passed, called the Nuremberg Laws, promoting ideas of genocide against the Jewish race. These laws were meant to formalize the new system and to show the value and effectiveness of the new regime.
Tent, James F. In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Nazi Persecution of Jewish-Christian Germans. Kansas: University Press of Kansas, 2003.
The Nazi Party, controlled by Adolf Hitler, ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. In 1933, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany and the Nazi government began to take over. Hitler became a very influential speaker and attracted new members to his party by blaming Jews for Germany’s problems and developed a concept of a “master race.” The Nazis believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that the Jewish people were a threat to the German racial community and also targeted other groups because of their “perceived racial inferiority” such as Gypsies, disabled persons, Polish people and Russians as well as many others. In 1938, Jewish people were banned from public places in Germany and many were sent to concentration camps where they were either murdered or forced to work. Many individuals and groups attempted to resist Nazism in Germany, but were unsuccessful. The White Rose, The Red Orchestra and the Kreisau Circle all advocated non-violent resistance to oppose the Nazi regime and even with the high risk of getting caught and potentially killed, the courageous members of these groups went after what they believed was right despite the serious consequences.
Examining any issue pertaining to the Holocaust is accompanied with complexity and the possibility of controversy. This is especially true in dealing with the topic of Jewish resistance to the Holocaust. Historians are often divided on this complex issue, debating issues such as how “resistance” is defined and, in accordance with that definition, how much resistance occurred. According to Michael Marrus, “the very term Jewish resistance suggests a point of view.” Many factors, both internal such as differences in opinion on when or what resistance was appropriate, as well as external, such as the lack of arms with which to revolt, contributed to making resistance, particularly armed resistance, extremely difficult. When considering acts of Jewish resistance, it is important to consider both direct and indirect forms of resistance, as well as avoid diminishing what efforts were made at resistance. Despite many factors making resistance difficult, Jews did perform both direct and indirect resistance, often more than historians have credited to them. As a whole, Jews did not accept their death mutely, as sheep to the slaughter.
Jewish businesses were boycotted and vandalized. By 1939,Jews were no longer citizens,could not attend public schools,engage in practically any business or profession, own any land, associate with any non-Jew or visit public places such as parks and museums. The victories of the German armies in the early years of World War II brought the majority of European Jewry under the Nazis. The Jews were deprived of human rights. The Jewish people were forced to live in Ghetto's which were separated from the main city.
The Nazi’s way of handling the political concerns was by removing anyone that was non-German from political positions. This would make it so that any laws or decisions made were made for the sole benefit of Germany as the citizen’s only loyalty would be towards Germany. They also sought to deport and non-citizens that would be any potential threat the the Nazi Agenda. Non-citizens were treated as guests and were subject to foreign la...
Starting with creating a Law to strip Jewish immigrants from Poland of their German citizenship. Then moving on to pass a law allowing for forced sterilization of those found by a Hereditary Health Court to have genetic defects. They also prohibit Jews from owning land, also from being newspaper editors. Jewish people are also banned from the German labor front and stripped of national health insurance. The Jews where also prohibited from receiving legal qualifications. The Nazis ban Jewish people from serving in the military. Hitler was trying to form his version of a perfect race by not only stripping Jews of their rights but also Gypsies, the mentally ill, homosexuals, and Jehovah’s witnesses. The name for the plan of the mass extermination was called “the final solution”. The Jews where sentenced to death there was really no escape for them. Some people where very lucky, some people of Jewish ancestry were sometimes able to escape being sent to the Nazi death camps if their grandparents had converted to Christianity before the date of January 18, of 1871. This date marked the start of Germanys unification and the start of the German empire. After the beginning of World War II, N...
Although Niewyk presented these interpretations in depth, his criticisms of Weiss's long history approach and Friedlander’s scientific interpretations are flawed. In reaction to Weiss’s argument, he proposes the question, “If Germans harbored such intense loathing for the Jews, why were no substantial steps taken against them before Hitler came to power in 1933?” Friedlander’s argument is met with the supposition that “only the Jews were singled out by the Nazis for total annihilation and warn against anything that might detract from the particular dimensions and characteristics of the Jewish tragedy.”
The anti-Semitic propaganda incurred one situation at a swimming pool in Heigenbruken. About twenty young bathers demanded the Jews there be removed. Arguments with the manager did not bring about their immediate removal, but from then on a sign was placed forbidden the entry of Jews into the swimming area (“The Nuremberg Laws”). In the months after the Nuremberg laws were officially legal, the Law for the Protection of German Blood & Honor and the Reich Citizenship Law were enforced throughout the community. The Law for the Protection of German Blood & German Honor highlighted the importance of the purity of German Blood being maintained. It forbade marriage and sex between Jews and pure Germans, along with the Jewish employment of female Germans under the age of 45. The Reich Citizenship Law deprived all Jews of their citizenship and entitled citizenship to only the Germans who supported the Reich (“The Nuremberg Laws”). Aside from their civil rights being denied, Jews could not perform jobs, attend public school, or even possess wealth, all whilst forced to wear a gold star (“Nuremberg Laws,” USHMM). These laws didn’t stop at those who practiced Judaism; it affected half-Jews and quarter-Jews as well. Someone could have been a Christian, but had Jewish ancestors, and been stripped of the same rights. The racial theorist, Dr. Gercke, argues “…any Christian or Muslim, fifty, twenty-five, or five percent Jewish is classified as Mischlinge. Full Jews are classified as any German with at least three Jewish grandparents (“Nuremberg Laws,” Jewish Virtual Library).” In Hitler’s eyes, anyone who was more than fifty percent Jewish was a lost cause, and would just taint his master
( Feldman 213) The Holocaust was one of the harshest things done to mankind. What led to the Holocaust? Some state that Germany was devastated that they lost the first war. “ The Germans were forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles feeling betrayed.”
The Holocaust, the mass killing of the Jewish people in Europe, is the largest genocide in history to this date. Over the course of the Holocaust nearly six million Jewish people were killed by the Nazi Party and Germany led by Adolf Hitler. There are multiple contributing factors to the Holocaust that made it so large in scope. Historians argue which of these factors were most significant. The most significant contributing factor is the source of the Holocaust, the reason it occurred. This source is Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jewish people. In comparison to the choices of the Allies to not accept Jewish refugees and to not take direct military action to end the Holocaust, the most significant contributing factor of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler was able to easily rise to power with the support of the German people and rule Germany.
HItler created laws, named the "Nuremburg Race Laws," which set barriers on Jewish people. The laws would give all Jewish people a curfew and restricted them from using public transportation. Over time the Nuremburg Race Laws grew, they eventually restricted Jews form owning a business and seperated them from the rest of the country. They were forced to attend Jewish schools. These actions are very similar to the Jim Crow Laws in the United States during the period of segregation. The race laws Hitler created expanded to include more people including mentally handicapped, physically disabled, and colored people.
