law and were forcefully deported to segregated and secure camps for labor, followed by gassing. In total about 16,000 Gypsies died as a result of the Nazis scientific pursuit. Children underwent live experimentation in studies exploring racial immunology, malnutrition, desalination methods, live vaccinations, the effects of nerve gas, and much more. Nazi researches even went as far as studying the effects of inheritance of typhus by infecting pregnant mothers. As a result every mother died after giving birth to a short-lived newborn baby; their placentas did not act as a barrier against the infection as the Nazis had hypothesized. Child Gypsy twins were a rarity and seen as extremely valuable to Hitler's scientists. Researchers hawked camps and exploited all children born as multiples. Dr. Josef Mengele was leading researcher in the study of multiples. At the Gypsy Family …show more content…

Children who suffer from separation are sometimes deprived of their families permanently or for a period of time. All groups of children focused on in this paper experienced forceful separation under the regime, or had parents that were forcefully removed from their lives. For example, children of Reich and Jewish blood experienced the removal of their Jewish parent. It has been reported that marriages between Jewish and Reich people ended in divorce. It has been documented that Reich mothers left their Jewish husbands in order to keep their children alive. When authorities questioned the Jewish appearance of their children, they would declare that they were unsure about who their father is. In 1943 the Archbishop of Toulouse, Monsignor Saliege, condemned the disheartening disruption of families. He described it as the following, “Children, women and men, fathers and mothers are treated like wild beasts. Members of one family are separated from each other and taken away to an unknown destination” (Sosnowski

    There are many similarities between the German Holocaust and the genocide of the Native Americans but there is many differences. In 1838 Andrew Jackson proposed the indian removal act to remove the Native Americans and put them into reservations. In 1933 Adolf Hitler called for all jews to be put in “ghettos” or slums. The jews were then put into concentration camps and many died before even getting there. During the “Trail Of Tears” over four thousand Cherokee Indians died while going to the reservations. During the German Holocaust over six million Jewish people were killed at the concentration camps. According to the www.USHMM.org “ The Germans and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three European Jews as part of the

    Why the Nazis' Treatment of the Jews Change from 1939-1945 Jewish discrimination was prominent in Germany, and was vastly spreading to nearby countries. Yet the Nazi treatment of the Jews immensely changed during the years of World War II. When Poland was invaded by Germany at the beginning of September, Britain and France finally realized that Hitler would have to be stopped. They declared war.

  • Jewish Children during the Holocaust

    1072 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is in a child's nature to be dependant of its parents and family members. They rely on them to protect and take care of them, so when they are suddenly ripped out of that comfort and protection, imagine the impact it would have on them. During the Holocaust, there was nothing the parents could do to protect their children; it was inevitable if they were Jewish they were always at risk. But on top of their vulnerability, children were frequently separated from their family and loved ones. Whether it be going into a concentration camp or going into hiding, the Holocaust has many examples of families being torn apart. One example would be with twins. Twins we often used for scientific experimentation, and when they were brought into concentration camps they were immediately identified and separated. The children that were used for these experiments very rarely survived them, and if they did they never saw their twin again. In just a short amount of time they were ripped away from their families and comfort and thrown into this chaos and unbearable setting (Nancy Sega...

    Though many Jews were able to emigrate out of Germany before further persecution took place, it was substantially difficult for every Jew to escape the impending danger that was looming large in both Nazi Germany and Austria. Reasons for emigration being very difficult included the reluctance of Jews to move when they had lived in Germany all their lives, and had generations of family members who have all been brought up in Germany, and some who had even served for Germany during the First World War. The prospect of leaving family behind was too much to fathom for Jews, as some Jews were married to non-Jewish women, and considered themselves more German rather than Jewish. This essay will however focus on a variety of factors which include economic problems faced by Jews even before the Anschluss was introduced in 1938, immigration restrictions set out acutely for Jewish immigrants by Western countries such as Britain and the United States in particular, and the role Anti-Semitism played throughout the world during this time period, that prevented and severely halted a majority of Jews to emigrate out of Nazi Germany and Austria, after the Anschluss and up until the outbreak of the Second World War.

    In 1899, Alfred Dillmann established the ‘Central Office for Fighting the Gypsy Nuisance’ in Munich, Germany (Rosenburg). This act had people who were employed at this facility map out Gypsy movements throughout Germany and hunt the Gypsies down. When they found the Gypsies, each one over the age of six was fingerprinted, photographed, had his or her cranium measured, eye and hair color charted, and each official made sure to find out anything in each Gypsy’s background that had to do with criminality (Knudsen). This was the beginning of Gypsy profiling. The Nazi’s needed the Gypsies’ records, so that they could be located and have forms of identificati...

    “‘If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example.’” ― Anne Frank (“Children During the Holocaust” 5). In Lodz, Poland, the Nazis had reduced a Jewish population of more than 220,000 to almost less than 1,000 (“Hidden Children: Quest for Family” 2). Families during the Holocaust were treated so badly that being Jewish for some Jewish children had come to symbolize persecution while Christianity symbolized security (“Hidden Children: Quest For Family” 3). And, another frequent problem of the separation of the family was a child's inability in later life to form effective bonds (“Separation from the Family” 12). The Holocaust was something people could only imagine. Families were split apart, loved ones were
